Tesla releases API pricing, dev says would cost $60M/year to run his app

I really hope we see Tesla lose hard the same way X loses hard:

By being greedy little good for nothing shits with their incredibly stingy ass API, and this leaving themselves open to disruption & being radically outcompeted by other companies, who are happy to let 3rd parties work for free to improve the experience.

It's just so sad when we squander so much vast possibility that digital connectivity enabled by senselessly pricing it so that only very few people can access and improve things. What a sad pitiful waste.

Rivian products are rapidly becoming more attractive.

The same happened to the Twitter API, so it's not a surprise.
