Good point about the antenna. Something as small as an antenna could take years . But I think I read the designer built the car so the driver can build the car, which is why this car has so many aftermarket offerings I guess

I missed out on all the discussion about this and most discussions of any importance about this car. I just bought mine two months ago and its all brand new to me

Thanks Tcoat!
Ya people seem to think that the parts on their cars magically appear at the assembly plant. There is just as much that goes into each individual part as there is the whole car. I cringe every time I hear somebody say "that looks cheap why don't they change it" or "X part would be better than Y part" they should use that. The manufacturers have to pay for those things and it is expensive.
We have a large customer that wants to change the rotor coating coverage by 2 millimeters. It is going to cost them so much they have been debating it for 3 years now.
That simple antenna change if not handled properly could cost them millions. This is why the updates and refreshes have to be planned out so well and way in advance of the change.
