This analogy/mental model of what things are when you purchase them breaks down for software. It’s less environmentally wasteful to build a single sku and unlock paid software features requiring teams of devs.

> paid software features requiring teams of devs.

This makes it easy for me to make up my mind about. FSD is about far more than just the hardware - there's many teams of devs working on it.

> heated seats

There's little (no?) justification for software locking heated seats. Press the button, make the seats hot. This is just capitalist bullshit and we shouldn't put up with it.
