From the link's screenshot of Tesla's 10/19/2016 post:
> We are excited to announce that, as of today, all Tesla vehicles produced in our factory -- including Model 3 -- will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver.
That's a clear marketing claim.
Not sure you can start deprecating before you deliver.
If you sell the alpha with the promise of it supporting the full game, and then charge again when you release the beta no less, I could understand being upset.
How comes the engineers didn't see that coming?
That people thought this company, unique amongst every other manufacturer wouldn't do planned obselesence is part of the massive marketing success of the company.
Incorrect.
