Not a conspiracy theorist, or ancient astronaut theorist either, I just believe if I own something I should be able to control when I get updates, and the company should not be able to disable features I have if I don't want them to (unless it's some type of subscription service I refuse to pay for)
For what it's worth, I don't like what GM is doing with super cruise either with the subscription service but I have the option to not pay for it, same for OnStar. If I don't want it, I can turn it off and the car will still drive.
On my phone I choose to take the updates after I determine what they are, and what impact they have had already if any to others. I would expect the same for something as expensive as a car.
In the end, I don't like Tesla's business model in general, and don't even really like the designs of their cars. I would take Musk's SpaceX trip to the moon, but i don't want one of his current cars. It's a personal choice though, not a condemnation of what the company does.
If you're a customer and happy with it, go for it. It's OK if you do, that's why there are different manufacturers. In the end though, I don't really believe I'm "one in a million" that doesn't want what Musk is selling.
