Class action? Tesla is charging $2000 to upgrade 16G RAM for 2021 owners to get steam working in car

Wait until everyone realizes there was a seat back “pocket” seen in pictures and they don’t have that in their car……… oh never mind it’s not an adolescent game just a place to hold the tissues for the tears

Pockets? Is that coming in 2024? FOMO!

Oh gosh have I created a warm front and started a snowflake melt

Nice try, JA.

Back to the topic, I'd support the effort for an affected owner to take Tesla to small claims court over this.

And a collective REEEEeeeEEe was heard from the coasts.

Should we sign a petition and request Elon in twitter instead of jumping onto a lawsuit? We might settle down with a discount on the hardware upgrade as it wasn’t our decision to buy an 8gb car. Also, since they take the existing hardware, they can send it back their supplier and have additional 8gb soldered onto it and reuse it for their new cars.

Cross post on this topic

Steam integration for Model S built after Feb 2022 only?

For those that have it, is the Steam update even worth it? Is it working consistently, any noticeable lag, do all your Steam based games run smoothly (ex. Forza Horizon, GTA)? Are the games playable through the rear screen? Can it support multiplayer-online or 2-player via dua; wireless...

I shouldn’t have to settle anything. The car was marketed as capable. It isn’t. Tesla makes this right or it’s cut and dry false advertising. Same with the 200mph claimed top speed that I’ve been waiting over a year to get.

What is your intention by the title "Class action"?

That would be my question as well. It seems like everything is a class action suit these days. I noticed McDonald's only put one pickle slice on my hamburger yesterday instead of two. Maybe I should start a class action suit. yes, a bit of sarcasm on Christmas eve

I thought they put three?

I think that’s exclusively on the Big Mac.

Really? Now I am SURELY going to sue them. I thought there were only supposed to be two pickles on there. Ok, Christmas humor. now back to our boring subject.

I’m suing because the commercial shows a full tub of fries and when I get mine they are only half full

That was a marketing photo. You only need half the fry showing.

Found a discussion in Facebook group.
What’s your thought?
Will you pay $2000 to get steam?

Tesla CPUs are Linux based, it should not difficult to swap some new memory card:

$36 - DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Laptop Memory (newegg.com)​

Probably soldered, to save cost. Sockets for cards cost…

Off topic but this was filmed during the LA riots of ‘92.
