      It’s $99/year. If you can afford a Tesla you can afford that. The software in the car is damn good.

        No. Not everything should be commodified. Once I buy an appliance or a vehicle, I own it, and there is no reason, other than greed, that I should not be able to repair, modify, and use all the features that are included without paying extra fees. Life isn’t supposed to be expensive. Life is, in fact, free

          Life isn’t supposed to be expensive. Life is, in fact, free

          And you are able to live without that car/service/thingy-madoo that costs money…all completely free.

          Commodities and luxuries however do cost money to obtain and use…

          Just like when you buy a new cell phone and it comes with free service for life, right?

          Oh. You mean things with ongoing costs cost money? How sad.
