When 4G support was rolled out, they allowed you to upgrade it.
Car had no rear seat heaters, just pay $300 and bang, they're enabled.
When CCS2 came out, they just allowed us to upgrade the car to support it ($400 including adaptor).
Paying the extra money for FSD has allowed early adopters get their cameras and computers upgraded free of charge (mine was upgraded to HW3 from HW2).
So before you jump the gun and suggest something, maybe do some research so you can understand what Tesla are offering people. My 7 year old Tesla has the current software (minus a few graphics here and there) that the current cars come with. That is simply brilliant.
My GTF, however, is stuck with maps from 2015 never to be upgraded again.

Wow, you really are addicted to the koolaid.
Maybe take a breath and reread what you wrote, cos it's mostly a pile of nonsense.
You bought, quite literally, "The Last of the GTs", and now you're bitching because they don't make then anymore???
ANY car that features interchangeable parts, can be "upgraded" with those parts. Most people don't bother with near new cars, but plenty of people do it on slightly older models.
Updating software is also common. Usually part of a service, or the first port of call when trouble-shooting a problem.
But eventually, models change, and parts are nolonger interchangeable. So sure, I guess if Tesla makes no changes to the cars, ever, then you'll always be able to upgrade.
Their concept, of selling you features that aren't "activated", is certainly novel. But it's also rather ****ery. You've paid for the car, which means you've paid for everything in it (including the seat warmers) but they say you can't use what you paid for without paying an additional activation fee?
Yeah, not sure that's a positive selling point.
