FSD isn’t the only feature locked behind a paywall.
They lock up everything from heated seats to acceleration speed.

It’s not my analogy, but it does make sense if you even remotely think about it. The downside is that my car carries extra weight in the form of this additional hardware. Teslas are heavy enough as-is with their giant batteries, I’d rather remove any and all unnecessary weight for the sake of my tire tread life (and battery life). Also depending on exactly what the hardware is, it can be an additional point of failure that could potentially cause things that I do have access to to break. Lastly, it’s fair to assume that the price of the car would be cheaper if Tesla didn’t have to install this hardware into every car even if it will never be used, so you are likely already paying for this in “hidden” costs that are just rolled into the total price of the car before even paying to enable the features.
Do you know what an analogy is?
Interesting, thanks for the fun fact! My kid is absolutely obsessed with learning all things about animals so I’m keeping stuff like this on deck for when he’s a little bit older and can understand. I’ve learned more about animals in the last year watching videos with him than all through school, which is equal parts sad and awesome.
I thought all insects have 6 legs, 2 antenna, and an exoskeleton, therefore worms like mealworms aren’t insects either.
That’s next level fear. I’d imagine it would be extremely trace amounts if any that you’d end up digesting.
Actually according to the documentary “the Day After Tomorrow,” NY will be the first state underwater from climate change.
it’s not know to cause cancer
I have to laugh at the irony of your comment since this thread is about things we don’t yet know are bad for us.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone working with fiberglass and not wearing a mask. Do people really do that?
Yeah I switched to all stainless steel clad pots and pans a few years ago to avoid all that shit.
That’s fair. I’d call the last point new commentary more than an argument since he didn’t really provide any evidence that it’s true. /pedantic
This comment is basically just a tl;dr of the OP

no longer in use or no longer useful
Also don’t you get a pop up on iOS when apps actually try to do one of these things? Like I have weather apps that clearly say that track my location, but it still gives a pop up asking to use your location when you actually start using it.
Hopefully that means they’ll start giving me better rates!
I wouldn’t say obsolete because that implies it’s not really used anymore. Most websites and apps still use validation not too dissimilar from the OP, even if it goes against the latest best practices.
Easier doesn’t mean better though.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they are working on something now and just wanted to get the app out as an mvp.
That is likely a benefit but let’s be honest the real reason is that a web version would require a lot of additional overhead especially to staff enough engineers.
Or make them recurring fines that grow exponentially each time they are issued until the situation is fixed.
Edit: nvm it sounds like this is exactly what they are doing.
