well, the thing is that Tesla is not really so much a car company company as a software and car company.
as software becomes more and more important in terms of purchase decision factor, the cars are going to be seen more and more as tablets on wheels.
Microsoft has been doing the transferable license dance for a while now.
on the opposite end, why buy a license for a work in progress software without a hard commited delivery date? our tablet on wheels may very well loose it's wheels of old age before we get what we paid for.
a trasnferable license is a win win for everybody, I think
It's a win if Tesla wants to set another record EPS loss.
as much profit as they can...
<snicker> Profit and Tesla are two words that absolutely do not go together right now.
