So, lets be clear then, you do not truly own the car.

Am reminded of ebook and movie purchases - you're only just licensing the item. You own next to nothing.

Do you really care about owning something that much? What difference does it make if it gets you from A to B all the same?

When you own nothing, and license everything, what's stopping the licensor to ban you, or just increase the prices as they want?

Not having to own a car, maintain it, repair it, etc is a feature, not a bug. I'd far rather have a pay-for-use car (ie. a driverless taxi).

I don't like the idea of "sharing" upholstered seats with other people. I'm very neat and tidy, and other people aren't. Other people are going to eat their chips and junk in the car and get crumbs everywhere...

It doesn't take much thought to realize what a terrible idea it would be to let people tinker with a telsa's self driving software.

I know I would tinker with it. And I'd probably die. So thank you Tesla :)
