Let me tell you what's wrong with this: Nothing.

  I think it is slightly more complicated than this. Removing these "artificial" locks raises the price of the base model. This can lead to people on a tighter budget from being able to afford it at all. For this particular instance I don't feel too bad for a number of reasons: 1. Tesla is a luxury product so people on a tight budget will likely find a better value solution elsewhere. 2. The way these locks are implemented greatly restricts user freedom on the whole car so they see somewhat unethical to me. But in general I believe that making one model and artificially locking it can be ethical. It is just taking advantage of economy of scale (by only making one model) without removing your base price point.
