Sort of. They can revoke the Auto. But being a safety item, a car has to have functional wipers somehow. And giving me that, they owe me nothing.
Auto wipers are in the manual and advertised as a feature of the car.
Heated seats, AC, roll down rear windows, radios, etc are not required by law. So they can just take those away? The only thing any car manufacturer owes you are safety items, everything else is something they can revoke, even if they advertised it?
Well. You could have gone to bed without this one.
Yeah, you showed a screen in the car that you can only see if you have already been granted access, which is pretty circular. Show me where they refer to it as "early access" to someone that is buying a car right now that might expect they will get it for the silly reason they paid $10K for it.
Yes. We can go on on this like we did before, but they said contingent on software and regulatory validation. Their verbiage allowed for error and it happened. I'm not surprised.
Ahh, the old regulatory argument. The one that Tesla is currently saying doesn't apply at all to CSA, since it's L2 and requires NO regulatory approval at all? The one where Fanboys laugh at NHTSA asking Tesla questions, saying that they have no jurisdiction because it's L2, and it's just a witch hunt paid for by "legacy" automakers?
Plus, there are multiple states that already allow for L4. There is no regulatory delay. It is not the reason CSA is super late, nor is it the rationale for "Early access." In fact, NHTSA is already poking at the "early access" system, wondering if it's actually contrary to public safety as it limits people reporting serious safety issues.
And as for "software availability"- you're saying you can say "this software is coming 2019", and then say "subject to software availability" and that just neutralizes any timeline you listed? Of course the product doesn't exist until the product exists, but Tesla is the one that advertised an availability date for that product. You don't get to say "well, it doesn't exist yet, what do you expect?"
