Lp, the only fact you managed to spew forth is that Tesla is going subscription for FSD, everything else is your own poorly formed opinion.
Ev batteries will outlast the vehicles, ie 20-30yrs before being repurposed, it’s what the science shows it’s what real world charging data shows.
Go and educate yourself ffs.

Did I trigger something, are you a disgruntled Tesla investor? Not to worry SpaceX will list soon.

Firstly, I think you've confused contemptuous AI driven marketing for science, and I could debate it here but it's the wrong thread, I was more discussing the corporate tactics and the inevitable. But it is cute that you think the concept of subscriptions will stop with FSD, stay optimistic!

btw., If I recall correctly, when previously discussing the very long term carbon debt (NIMBY carbon it seems) that comes with offloading a perfectly good ICE for a brand new EV, those so inclined to argue the EV position claimed that the EVs would functionally outlast the batteries many times over, I think some claimed at least 1 million kilometers, and as such the vehicles carbon deficit was irrelevant to battery longevity. Now we read your post claiming that the batteries will outlast the car!

Black Mirror did an episode similar to this. "Hated by the Nation"

Bees went extinct, so we made robot bees to do the job.
These were ultimately hijacked and used to kill people. Person who was killed was whoever got the most 'votes' on social media.
Torch and Pitchforks from the comfort of your own home!

Seems ludicrous when summarised, but watch the episode and tell me where the plot hole is, if you can find one.

For all the things people worry about regarding the internet and AI, this stuff being done in the USA is far more worrisome, it's literally the genesis of the grey goo as they are already working on self-assembling versions.

This stuff will make Drone, Nuclear or Chemical Warfare look like a Sunday Picnic.

For all the good it could potentially do, think about your pepper grinder, sauce on your McBurger, herbs on your focaccia, dust on your carpet, dirt on your shoes, and now think of it in the hands of a Putin, Xi or RedTrump, a failed heart valve, a stroke, pneumonia, blindness, a headache.

Winds farms, 5G, EM, Infrasound, they are a freaking walk in the park by comparison!

What would this guy think, gravy for the mind?

Is your arm itching?

But the Nobel Prize people said it is 'not possible' for an award winner to pass the prize onto someone else.

She was just giving it to the rightful winner.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said she had presented her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump during a high-stakes encounter that could affect how Trump seeks to shape the South American country’s political future.

But the Nobel Prize people said it is 'not possible' for an award winner to pass the prize onto someone else.

There was a story in the paper today about how Richard Nixon successfully leaned on the then Chair of the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates in the lead up to the 1972 elections to improve his re-election chances.  The upshot of this was the inflation rate (which was 3.2% in 1972) rose to over 12% by the end of the decade.

The world economy will get whacked if Donny boy gets to set his own rates by replacing Jerome Powell with a patsy when his term ends in April.
