Apple has normalized getting a new phone every year by taking out a zero interest loan. People upgrade their phones every September, or get one for Christmas.
Imagine if Tesla began a Tesla upgrade program where you pay them every month for the car, insurance, the whole package and when Tesla has an upgraded version of the car out you get a “free upgrade” they take your car currently and recycle the battery, use the body for parts on repairs, or flexes the old car into a robo fleet. Now all your customers are paying you a forever loan and they never own the car. I could see it working haha
