I don't understand some things, and I'm not going to phrase them as questions but just my opinions.

1) it seems silly to build anything on Teslas platform. 2) it seems silly for customers to add more commercial stuff on top of Teslas platform.

Even as someone who develops software for a living, I think most tech out there today is stupid. Some is useful but most seems not. And occasionally someone shows me use for something I thought was dumb, but I can usually go on without it.

Am I a luddite?

I don't mean to offend, but I think ironically your comment is silly.

If I understand you correctly, you think that there is no value to be added by software to a Tesla.

There are very obvious counter examples. E.g. fleet management for rental cars or 3rd party navigation (in the case of these APIs running on a phone, but using the API for e.g. the current state of charge). There are countless other possible products to be built on top of Teslas platform.
