gollark: What we really need is free and open source cars.
gollark: And if you don't update the software your car might just go "nope, you're not using this".
gollark: Tesla more so. They have some "extra acceleration" purchase for old cars which seems to just change some software settings and costs $2000.
gollark: They do seem to have not very user controllable software.
gollark: Wouldn't you expect any sort of big advantages Tesla has to already be reflected in the price of its shares?
