    the problem is it’s non-transferrable, so if you want to sell the car (or totaled it) before ~6 years you would lose money compared to paying $100/month.

      What? Purchasing a premium package for your car vanishes when it transfers to a new owner?

      If you buy a premium trim, it doesn’t vanish if you resell the car.

        the hardware is there regardless of trim. you are paying for the right to use the hardware already in the car you purchased.

      Oh that’s just another nail in the coffin of me EVER buying a Tesla

      If it was transferable like idk, any other option you get on your car, the 8k price tag could at least be offset by like 20-50% by the car having better value when selling it on. This way it’s just… Wtf. Imagine paying 8k and then selling the car after a year and the next person has to pay 8k too.

      100 bucks a month starting to seem reasonable in comparison indeed
