I'd rather just pay it once and have it.
Like video games. Just let me pay money for the whole game.
Rational people don't buy Teslas.
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.
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
Wouldn't the car sell for more because of the extra features?
The feature is tied to the account, not the car 💡
