Sure they do, but someone who bought a Roaster in 2008 surely has it paid off by now. However unlike every other manufacturer that forgets about the vehicles it used to make (unless there's a recall), Tesla is improving existing products.
I have a 2004 SUV with a 7" satnav in it and some god-awful software package. Does Acura offer an upgrade path for this? Other than a way to update the roads database, no. Buy a new SUV.

- sjwright 12y agoThe new-for-old replacement cost of an iPhone 1 is peanuts compared to an SUV. Pinot makes a legitimate point that some car components could be made upgradeable by their manufacturer -- like entertainment units -- but they don't, and they're missing out on those aftermarket dollars as a result. I've owned a number of cars for which I would have spent thousands of dollars with the brand upgrading them if options were available.
