But who would pay for an undelivered feature on a leased car?
Both were through Kickstarter, so I knew up front that there was some risk.
(Although, at least with Star Citizen, I suspect there's a reasonable argument that I'm owed a refund. IMHO Chris Roberts hasn't acted in good faith with our transaction.)
If not presumably they could argue that they never received what they subscribed to.
There's a separate $6,000 "Enhanced Autopilot" upgrade option that covers the first five features ("Navigate on Autopilot" ... "Smart Summon").
That's all the detail I get. I presume that at least auto park and summon are unlocked immediately, because those worked on my previous leased Model S without being in a beta. The the first feature "Navigate on Autopilot", which is in both options, sounds like has to be an over-sell. How that doesn't imply autosteering is beyond me.
