Why do you think you should get stuff for free?

Hardware has a cost. Running a service has a cost. Providing updates has a cost. If you don’t think you should be responsible for the costs of the things you use, you’re going to be disappointed pretty often. Venture-capital funded startups can only give away free shit for so long before they have to start giving returns

No kidding it has a cost, as we’re discussing the cost of it here if you’re not aware. There’s quite a range between ‘free’ and $15k + $299 a month. You know what else has a cost? The car itself when you purchase it.
