I have a Tesla (M3.) But it's stories like these that will make my next electric not a Tesla. From the failure to deliver FSD, to the inability to quickly fix their out-of-factory fitment problems, to anti-customer policies like these they're quickly souring in my mind. At least the car is a blast to drive. edit: FWIW looks like Tesla decided to do the right thing, > While I don't think it's ideal to need a huge social media push to get things accomplished, thanks to the momentum this thread has generated it seems like we've got a path forward with Tesla towards getting this taken care of the right way. https://twitter.com/wk057/status/1551986133780889602 https://twitter.com/wk057/status/1551986133780889602

I'm with you. I had a P3D. What a blast it was to drive. But one of the reasons I sold it was uneasiness about the level of control Tesla maintained over the car and their apparent willingness to use that control later -- and not in my best interest. I'm going to stick to cars from manufactures that don't seem inclined to do this to me. So definitely not Tesla. And maybe not BMW, they're giving off strong vibes of wanting to play this same game with their cars. It helps that Tesla has fallen way behind in actual features, so I don't really want what they're offering. I can get lane following and adaptive cruise from anyone else, CarPlay is more valuable to me than Tesla's tiny little garden, and all the other standard car features Tesla doesn't want to offer. Wipers that work, door handles that don't suck, 360* camera for parking in tight places, stuff like that. Tesla doesn't have a monopoly on fast EVs any more, and before much longer they won't have the best charging network either. That was what drew me to the P3D.
