Question of the day...

Polestar is having a sale. I can download 70 extra horsepower (400 -> 470) for $1,000.

I have no interest in this. Maybe if it were like $250 I would do it just for fun.

How much would you pay for 70 more horsepower?

@dan recap.

You buy a car. You paid for it. It's yours, in your driveway/garage.

And you need to pay more to unlock features. That are already there. In the car. That you bought, paid for.

@faraiwe I basically agree with this, let me play devil's advocate.

Basically every modern car, especially those with a turbo charger could be programmed to provide more power. (and sometimes manufacturers offer this service) The trade off would be more gas burned, more emissions and potentially less reliability. With an EV there are fewer tradeoffs. Are manufactures really obligated to give you the highest horsepower version of your car possible?

@dan devil don't need advocate.

Wrong is wrong.
