The ever changing software and in this case "no actually not that software" situation with Tesla's is wild. I'm amazed there are any consumes are ok with this kinda thing ... If I buy a vehicle I want to get what I paid for and be done with it, not have weird promised expansion packs and free trials type situations.

Seriously, I think about this all the time, especially now that SaaS is so prevalent and unavoidable in many of our lives. I think consumers just really have no idea what is happening behind the scenes. Especially with CI/CD most consumers only really notice something changed when there is a blatant new bug or a UI change. It would probably blow their mind to know that the software gets updated sometimes dozens of times per day without them even knowing. My wife is an interesting example. She couldn't really care less about SaaS vs. Whatever, until Canva deploys a nasty bug that wrecks her work, causes her to lose changes, and subsequently deliver late. When I told her that my normal troubleshooting step would be reinstall the previous version and try again, and asked her how she would accomplish that with Canva, I think she finally got it.

Humans seem wired to form/join cults. Charisma can be assigned to someone, and the group of followers assembles around them. We see quite a lot of it right now.

  But musk has a -2 CHA stat, I've never been able to listen to one of his talks/speeches to completion. I don't understand how a cult forms around such a terrible public speaker.

IMO they are not moving fast enough. Some features like grok haven’t delivered yet, tho ideas been around for ages. Tons of improvements left to do. With CT it kinda obvious autosteer makes little sense to develop when most people are getting FSD with it. Also FSD needs a price drop and it’s likely biggest lever Tesla has.
