I never would have bought one in the first place due to this design. And many other things.
Does feel a lot like when companies sell hamstrung products just to force you to pay an “unlocking” fee for full functionality that should have been there from day one.

I agree a turn signal should have been included, but at these retrofit prices I don't think Telsa is making money. A simple turn switch from the VW dealer for a 20 year old Jetta costs about half of what this entire package costs, and that doesn't include installation or a steering wheel.
I suspect you’re right that this isn’t a money maker. Mostly I was going for the “it should’ve been there when you bought it“-ness of it. Even when I first saw this, and with my general distrust of them, it didn’t seem a ridiculous price to me.

But clearly there are people who didn’t mind.
