It's so sad to see so many of the Apple Faithful sounding like uninformed Androiders...

Just asking, as I am not a Tesla car user. 

Does Tesla sell subscriptions for "enhanced features".  

Does Tesla allow 3rd party software/firmware access to its car's operating systems? Or does Tesla control the whole environment?
Is there any irony in Musks position, regarding Apple here?

A more relevant question is: Does Tesla allow other chargers than the Tesla superchargers?.  And the answer is YES, so stop whining

They're currently doing precisely that in Europe, essentially running an experiment, and depending on what the results there are, may roll it out in the US as well. The main issue is the additional waiting time it could impose on Tesla owners.

Nnnnnnnnnope. Not this. Not Tesla. And stop spending my tax money on Space X, please.

Bankrupt Musk.

This takes the cake for the top "I'll Cut Off My Nose to Spite My Face" post of 2022!

Everything about their pursuit of a car without a steering wheel seems a bit off in the clouds to me. There are laws requiring steering wheels on cars. They have to be mostly round. Elon Musk ran into that when he wanted a rectangular steering wheel on one of Tesla's cars. 

I drive a 2022 Model S with the yoke (what you're calling a "rectangular") steering wheel. It is not only perfectly legal in the USA, I find the yoke shape to be remarkably obvious and intuitive. After nearly 45 years of driving with circular steering wheels, I am asking, 'WTF was that all about?!" Sort of similar to my feeling when I first used the scroll wheel on my iPod, in 2021.

I’ll pass. The plethora of poor design choices with this iPad lineup is a head-scratcher.
