The problem is that the company obviously is capable of making a performance machine that falls under the sale price. Then artificially limits capacity or use, unless you pay more.
Clear?
I mean the company is “capable” of selling these at literally half the price. Maybe one day UNICEF will get into the car production business, but until then you have to buy them from for-profit companies.
Obviously it would cost them more money to engineer a new battery and manufacturing process, and without this software lock they couldn’t produce a car at this price.
As an ancillary bonus, you can charge this car to 100%, 100% of the time without ever worrying about degradation.
But they can produce this car that sell this price though, that’s my point. The technology is installed and fabricated, it’s just artificially locked to fake some loss in value. This is just a disguised way to say they’ve been asking 10k more for the same product beforehand. That’s where the scam is, you are either paying 10k too much or are fucked out of a full product. Nothing do do with unicef it’s just a blatant example of Tesla (the company) being shit again and I wanted to point it out.
Edit; And that also creates a huge problem on the second hand market where Tesla can take those car and unlock them to inflate the sale value afterwards. Actively shafting the previous owner out of massive resale value which everybody should consider. Cars are not investments, they are money pits. The more money you can recoup the better and this here example literally cucks you out of any resale value.
