Knock on wood -- hoping this is what's coming up, with all our favorite bits of v6 still present.

...and this is why I'm still worried.

I have, four times. I was born conservative.
And I have an appallingly bad sense of time, so clocks are super-important to me.
Updates are cool and all, but I *bought* the car. Based on its state at time of sale. If I'd leased it, I'd expect it to change under me. But I *bought* it, which was a deliberate choice to lock in a particular set of features.
I didn't. Actually I was rather careful about what I signed.
I don't accept that and it will not happen. I don't even let that happen to my computer: no automatic updates.
...and that's really common, actually. You'd be amazed how many places kept using Windows 3.1 for decades after later versions were released. Businesses stuck with Windows 95 as late as 2005.

Well, I'm glad you understand it. It's really an issue of *control*. When I bought the car, Tesla gave up control of the car to me. If they'd wanted to retain control, they could have only rented/leased the cars (remember what GM and Toyota did with the EV1 and first generation RAV4!). Control is a fundamental feature of ownership, and is why ownership is often preferred to renting -- same is true in houses.
