WHEN YOU DON’T REALLY OWN THE GADGETS YOU’VE BOUGHT:

On Thursday night, Tesla announced the new Model X and Model S electric vehicles will now come with the necessary hardware to allow them to drive completely autonomously at a future point in time. But buried in the notes about this new functionality there was also a warning to future Tesla owners: don’t expect to be able to use your EV driving for Uber, Lyft, or any other ride-sharing service that isn’t owned by Tesla.

Sad. And these kind of downstream restraints on purchased goods should be unenforceable.
