A lot of jurisdictions are getting wise and cracking down on this. Most states have a requirement for residents to register vehicle in their state. Also, I’m not sure how insurance companies handle this- could be an issue with some at claim time.
Shouldn’t there be a separate thread for discussion on Elon Musk’s legal history? I don’t see how any of this is remotely related to Ford/GM supercharger access?

It’s probably due to limited air circulation and the fact that when CarPlay is running the phone is constantly processing.
Hyundai / Kia actually have air vents in their wireless charging pads to help prevent this.
Even if you look at it under the lens of EV market share (which doesn’t seem relevant to me, as EVs are competing with all cars at this point) I can’t comprehend a scenario where Teslas share increases in the coming years.

The vast majority of the money they make is from vehicle profits but I guess in theory they could sell the cars at cost and still make a little profit from services. It’s not like game...
I think you are way overthinking this. If they don’t reduce prices then they are going to be stuck with growing inventory (I don’t think FSD is just around the corner :). Even at current levels I think they are just “fairly” priced, not a particularly good deal and nothing like bargain basement...
I’m not sure I get the predatory pricing logic. Their prices (and margins) have been absurd for a couple of years. Now they have to drop them to industry average margins to avoid massive inventory pile ups.
To me the gouging was what was offensive (not that it wasn’t happening with other...
