Reminds me of Toyota's remote start debacle.
Perhaps he could do with less if If it didn't have children from his extramarital affairs.Don't give Elon and ideas... He's got enough money.
I'm okay with paying a one-time fee for an increase in acceleration of the vehicle. I bought a factory tune with my 435i after all but it did include a different component (air box) along with the software. Braking performance? No way because that's a safety issue. Better braking or faster acceleration isn't a feature but a capability if the physical hardware remains unchanged.depends on the update.
sounds like you are ok if you are getting new features that arent hardware based.
In the case of the model 3 long range you can pay 2K (used to be) to reduce 0-60 time by about a half a second - in your mind would that be acceptable or is that a rip off because it was already technically there, but needed an unlock?
What if you didnt know the capability was built in and bought the car based on what it offered at point of sale?
Our 2018 Mode 3 Mid Range got a 0 to 60 and range increase on OTA updates. Kinda nice...I'm okay with paying a one-time fee for an increase in acceleration of the vehicle.

Would you willing to pay a monthly fee that that increase? Can owners decline OTA updates?Our 2018 Mode 3 Mid Range got a 0 to 60 and range increase on OTA updates. Kinda nice...
There is no charge for Tesla OTA updates; updates include new functionality, improved functionality and bug fixes.Would you willing to pay a monthly fee that that increase? Can owners decline OTA updates?
I guess all the German mechanics will need to change their diagnoses for heated seat issues... "Did you remember to pony up your $18?"
One question, how nuch are heated seats in a BMW, or are they standard equipment for these fancy cars?
they cut down a lot on the options for the 1 and 3, stuff like halogen non-auto headlights are gone but there’s still obvious boxes that most dealers tick. other markets are different of courseI guess all the German mechanics will need to change their diagnoses for heated seat issues...

I imagine a strippie BMW is as rare as the $35K Tesla... I wonder what the average selling price of a 3 Series is? $40K? More? Of course the fast ones gotta be much more...they cut down a lot on the options for the 1 and 3, stuff like halogen non-auto headlights are gone but there’s still obvious boxes that most dealers tick. other markets are different of course
