It’s not actually anything close to $9000 for the battery upgrade - it’s been $2000 since April: http://insideevs.com/tesla-now-offers-model-s-60-kwh-75-kwh-upgrade-2000/ 

I mean, the difference between a BMW 320i and 328i is a tune. Is that a scam too?

I really don’t understand the anger towards Tesla regarding these cars. Tesla wanted to get more of their cars into customers’ hands, so they detuned some of their 75kWh cars and sold them at a discount. The customers knew their cars were detuned and bought them because that was the only way they could afford a new…

So, there are things that reduce Tesla’s cost long-term (in one way or another), with how they sold a 60 kWh version of the 75 kWh pack at a discount.

Are you upset that the only difference in power between a AMG GT and AMG GTS is a software tune by Mercedes too?

Because they dont have to make many different models of batteries. Its like when cpu or gpu makers disable some cores of a higher end product and then sell it as a cheaper lower end product.

For cpu and gpu makers they would sometimes gimp a higher end card by disabling some cores or stream processors and then selling it as a lower end cheaper card. Would you complain about that.

So are you also upset that your ISP doesn’t give you 300mb/s for the same price as the 30mb/s pack simply because they have the ability to unlock that speed by flipping a switch?

Did you even read the article?

“and after I sign on the dotted line”
Nope.

Sure, some will do that. But Tesla could have said no.
And they didnt. they helped the owners. This is a massive PR success for them. “hey, we really really care!”. And i cant say they dont

You’re confused, so you do get it.

I’m not sure I get what emotion that GIF is going for, but maybe it’s me, too?

EVE’s money is mostly earned ingame. EVE has a PLEX system that people can buy for 20$, they then sell that PLEX for 1 billion isk. Calculating this back gives the 17000$ headlines.

Hehe, these EVE stories are entertaining. They also make the game sound like “Assholes In Space”.

This is me, every time an EVE article gets posted.

These are the fleet maneuvers of my fantasies, using strategies that I would dream of in games like Star Wars: Rebellion and Sins of a Solar Empire. The fact that every ship is controlled by a player makes such large-scale maneuvers more impressive.

This already has more character than the whole first game lol

Touche’ destiny, I chuckled and considered buying your treadmill again.

It happened with ALL online games launch. ALL OF THEM. If there is angry/surprised players they are retarded.
