If they do this, guess we'll see the return of this man :LOL:

I believe he said 1/4 of a million a year in 2025. So, 2025 would be 250k/year

Seems like he wants to avoid business loans, imo. He even states he'd have to put the money up himself to do the teardown. And obviously he's not stupid and sees that he could save a bunch by just selling high margin merch to help offset that cost. My issue is the way in which he communicates...

Agreed. This video was really weird. Like, who knew a business required money. No way /s. Haven't they been in business for 20+ years? What did they do before getting people to front them? It's crazy because even if no one bought their shit, you 100% know they'd get a loan to tear down that...

I remember watching the first teardowns and thinking how cool it was to get detailed information from them on how the Model 3 was built and maybe the why's behind things. Now, it's just seems like an advertising platform for them to grow their business and sell the reports. I wish they'd treat...

Great. I meant in terms of regulations. I don't think you can have the gear selection only operable using the touch screen. It needs a mechanical or manual backup. Hence why the S and X have buttons in case the screen malfunctions.

I think it's a great update. I only hate two things. No stalks and no front camera. Everything else makes me want to trade in my '19. However, those negatives out way all the positives. This will be the first "affordable" stalk-less car. I'm very interested to see if the sale numbers/reviews are...

Nope, not the same. It's like buying a PC with Windows 10 installed and you want to remove it and run Linux. Like my previous analogy, where the PC maker locked an extra 8gb memory using Windows 10, but by running Linux, you now have access to it. It being the physical hardware.

It's Tesla's choice to add those batteries, as you said. It's also their choice to include hardware for heated seats. I didn't ask and I didn't want it. It's now my car, so I'm going to use it. Exactly like I'd do with the bacon that was added to my burger. I'm going to eat it. To the software...

Honestly, it sounds like you're struggling with your own self and possibly, conflicting moral/ethical views of right/wrong within a capitalistic society that puts profit over people. Please explain how you would go about returning it then. You keep saying you didn't pay for it, but it's in your...

I did notice you didn't reply to the other post, buy you did reply to my joking one, lol It's not about entitlement or stealing, it's about the physical thing being in existence and included in the product I purchased. You can talk about it being software locked all you want, but after I give...

I'm glad you went there and not me. I don't think you'll get many anti-capitalists or even, anti-consumerists on this forum. Ego is a strong thing and makes it extremely hard for others to think outside of their institutionalized way of thinking.

Possession is 9/10th of the law :ROFLMAO:. 100% agree.

:ROFLMAO:. Here's the thing though. I own the wiring for those heated seats and all the connectors. If i solder my own connection to use them, I can and should be able to. Explain to me how that's stealing. Thank you! That's literally what I'm trying to explain here. But I also think we...

I want to be the person who does whatever the hell they want with what they own. I can't steal something that I own. I bought a laptop that physically had 2 RAM slots. If i wanted to solder another USB port to it, I should be able to, it's my f-ing motherboard now. Am I explaining this...

For real? Not even remotely the same thing. I can pay a 3rd party to put in accessories, like heated seats or even ventilated seats. But why when the hardware is already there? This isn't me running/bypassing Tesla's software. Here's an example that maybe helps a little bit. I bought a laptop...

Adam really is the one at fault. He ruined everything! :ROFLMAO: Yeah, I was trying to get away from FSD to see if others can see the difference I was trying to lay out. I agree 100% that FSD is an IP thing cause you're using their servers and machine learning to, essential, run it. But, stuff...

So, technically, everything Rich Rebuilds has done is illegal and that one youtuber who made a truck out of her model 3. I remember the days when RIAA was trying to get legislation passed and suing everyone and that lead to how we got DCMA. This whole thing is a "right to repair" issue, in my...

Yep, this is where the debate is. Should you have the right to pay for services (3rd party) to unlock something you own? Should it be unlawful to do? Nope!

I guess I'm wrong, lol. DRM'ing heated seats is apparently protected by law and people seem to think that's ok, because DMCA. Philosophically and socially, I won't comment on my view of the matter any further. DRM prevents people from truly owning their own devices.
