Person A bought a Tesla S60. At some point the battery needs to be replaced which Tesla replaces with a 90 pack battery that gets 80 more miles of range. Person A sells the car to person B who sells the car to person C.
Person C brings the car in for routine maintenance. Everything is fine and he drives his car home. A few days latter Tesla calls him and says they a found a configuration problem with his car but not to worry they fixed the problem remotely. What Tesla did is software lock his car back to a S60 which means he get 80 miles less range now. When he complains they say they can put it back for $4,500.

I thought this thread was going to be about meat ;-)

My old millionaire and heavily-invested in Tesla ski buddy, Val (RIP 2020), used to say, "If you need to spend $80K on an e-car in order to save money on gas...you need to have your head examined!"
