They're not actually limiting the software (except maybe the music I guess? but that's no different then just shutting off your siriusxm trial). They're just limiting the hardware that wasn't paid for via software.

Software that limits hardware that is included in the car means to not use the best possible software.

Who cares about the music, they reduced your range by 10%...that means your batteries can do it but Tesla decides to not let them.

[obmelvin]

Are they able to completely cut off the battery by 10% or just the range? If the latter, wouldn't this increase the battery long term life similar to the extra unallocated space on some SSDs (i.e. Intel)?

[natch]

The batteries will have a longer life now too so that sort of balances things out a bit.

People here would probably have no problem with the music trial, because that's clearly a service being provided, and not the hardware that you've "bought" and ostensibly own.
