You need an MSA for the other two options as well (pay 1000 rewards points or $30). To me this reeks of desperation and defeat that they're not seeing W11 being adopted as quickly as they would like. -

Hahaha! I've been arguing with my dad for 10 years (he's pro-Tesla, I'm impartial as I don't trust a lot of the people and their tech in these robotaxis) about this whole charade. His continued argument is the cost factor (economies of scale principle) and the associated technology (different dependencies of which reduced production cost is a potential outcome thus feeding into the reduced cost argument). And my rebuttal is the broad-market trust factor -- it's often not the most innovative or first-mover that wins (Uber and Tesla have been arguing/investing in autonomous vehicles forever) but rather the option that builds the most trust amongst the commonwealth. VW and Toyota are not the first or best or cheapest cars on the road, but they've built a long of continued trust to the scales of being the largest automakers by volume worldwide. Supercar makers have the highest profit margins, Tesla has the highest stock price, but VW and Toyota have the sales volumes. As it stands, the writing is on the wall... No matter what advantages Tesla had in their ambitions, they have an even-longer road to repair public trust than any other robotaxi provider (foreign or domestic). If the trend continues, everyone will realise that their market valuation is based on their non-automotive efforts (including not robotaxis or consumer humanoids). -
