I mean the case maaaaybe could be made for potential false advertising, but Steam was never advertised as coming with these cars, especially not back when there was only 8GB RAM in the S...Of course they should.
I have a late 2016 Model S that I bought shortly after the first faked “full self driving” video. I’ve spent the six years since telling anyone who will listen to never ever ever buy anything Tesla makes on the promise of future capability, and to verify that everything actually important to you exists prior to you giving them a dollar. Even that’s not fool-proof as things can be taken away - but it’s the best you can do.
I believe you’ve misinterpreted my eye rolling at your pearl clutching as a defense of Tesla. I offer up no such defense. Tesla is rapidly becoming a terrible company that won’t get much if any more of my money. That doesn’t make your moaning hyperbole and assumptions about the future any more reasonable, and if we’re talking about things the media sinks their teeth into about Tesla owners, I think you’d be hard pressed to find something worse than lamenting the most first-world of first-world problems - the utter unfairness of not being able to play video games in their $100k electric cars while someone else CAN.
Did you actually read your “reasonable complaints”?
“It boggles my mind to think that all the extra processing power they put in these early MS cars amounts to NOTHING.”
“… this car was sold on PS5-level gaming capabilities, and we'll never see any of those without a stupidly unrealistic >$2k upgrade”
“… I am so pissed about this I want to sell my Tesla, despite the fact that I might only occasionally use Steam. This is the worst case of false advertising I've been dealt by Tesla yet”
Yup, super reasonable and level-headed.
Do I think it's kind of BS? Absolutely. But I do wonder if a lawsuit would have any validity (if it comes to that). You have a much, much clearer case when it comes to the 200mph top speed, which was actually advertised as only requiring wheels/tires...
