Tesla is more and more anti-consumer as time goes on. Horrible service, "expiring miles" (what is this Starbucks or United?), FSD that is neither full or self driving or anywhere close yet somehow the price keeps going up...
Eventually all of these anti-consumer practices will bite Tesla severely.

I really don't understand people who complain that the SC has expiring free miles, or even that Tesla charges at all for it.
I mean, flippin' DUH. It's a feature that Tesla provides, out of their own pocket. Do people think that maintaining those facilities, and paying for the electricity consumed just comes from some magic pocket of everlasting cash? Tesla should have never offered limitless charging, fully transferable, as they did for their first builds--it was simply too open for abuse. And people
do abuse them because "it's free". The current offering of S/X non-transferable FUSC makes more sense, because the S/X have a much heftier price tag than the M3, and they really need something to break from the M3/Y which have all the newest features.
Even for expiring miles, I'm not surprised nor concerned with them. It's like reward points on my travel account. If I don't use them, they will expire. They're a
bonus, subject to the terms of the issuer, not a right. It kind of sucks for those who missed out on the FUSC deal for S/X, but it's Tesla's process to control.
And FSD is still in very early stages. :/ It's like complaining the first few computers were slow and didn't have color screens. I mean, yeah, duh. They're working on it, this hasn't been done before, be patient. Or not pay for it and wait until it is done and pay the cost then, your choice. There are benefits to joining early--costs too, but benefits.
