I thought the Boombox feature was kind of neat and the kids liked it when I’d fool them into thinking an ice cream truck was driving by. Now that’s been killed off (along with passengers being able to play solitaire and other games, the addition of more nanny nags, etc.) and I’m starting to feel a sense of dread creeping in that bureaucrats and lawyers are starting to worm their way into Tesla’s decision-making to the point it’s eventually going to neuter the joy out of our vehicles and turn them into being soulless, boring and dull - exactly what I didn’t want when I bought in. Software “updates” used to be fun (“ooh I wonder what they’ll add this time!”) - like Christmas morning. Now I’m starting to dread them (“what thing are they going to change or get rid of now to appease some uptight suit?”)
I bought the Tesla because it was innovative, new and different - something that was attempting to redefine what people saw “automobile” as being. I didn’t want just another soulless car, yet it seems that someone is hell-bent on beating them into becoming just that. How long will it be before the autopilot gets killed off? Or heaven forbid the “emissions testing” screen? They touch that one and it’s time to bust out the pitchforks and torches!
I’m ranting a bit but for one, I like the Tesla being a geeky engi-nerd toy and having lots of silly extras and things that set it apart from every other boring cage out there on the road.
Thoughts?
Is Tesla giving in too much? Any new / fun things coming soon to help set our vehicles apart? I don’t want to lose the love!
