Because the stainless steel is not stainless and a protective coating is optional, not standard like... you know, on every other car.

Stainless steel that gets coated is no longer stainless steel. Stainless steel requires exposure to sufficient oxygen in order to maintain the protective oxide layer.

These are rudder bolts from the same gudgeon on my sailboat. The black stuff is anoxic corrosion.

Well, it's very meaningful to continue to support your emotional support corporations. They need us as much as we need them. That's why you need to buy the product, and the "continued use" package. They're not charging extra for standard things just to charge extra. It's about the continued closeness in your relationship with daddy Tesla.
