I don't share it, as custom ECM tunes that increase performance (with the same "hardware") have been around for a very long time.
Also things like OnStar, and SirisXM
Along a similar vein--Nvidia artificially limiting hashrates on some of it's consumer GPU's.
- HWR_14 5y agoI'm not too upset about locking upgrades behind software fences. I am upset if that means I cannot install my own version of that software (both 3rd party ECM tunes and NVidia drivers are available.) And OnStar and SirisXM are both subscriptions with continuing costs for the company that supply them I am far more upset with: A) Subscription fees for software in general. B) Tesla's autopilot code reseting when the Tesla is sold. Both directions, the new purchaser has to buy it again, the old owner has to buy it again on a new Tesla. C) Tesla conning people into paying 10,000 for cruise control plus, because people think it is Level 5 even though it falls far short of that. And any version hitting close to Level 5 is almost certainly going to require sensors that your car didn't have, so buy it again on a new car.
