i think 'greed' is a motivating factor for innovation but using the term critically is just a cheap shot.

about your employer... the investors are not charities so you're saying they're 'greedy' making an investment they expect to pay off later.
the medical product i assume will help save lives or at least lessen suffering which is a value no? people aren't forced to buy it. shouldn't your employer expect a return on investment for taking a risk?
charging "what the market will bear" is how markets work, but calling it greed is just a trendy trashing of capitalism.

i guess tesla's 'greedy' for making giant factories around the world... for raising and lowering prices to grab marketshare and raise profits. i don't frame it that way. it's just how markets (should) work. competition, spurring innovation, lead by consumer choice.

There's making healthy profit, and there is greed. Pharma Bro buying a drug people need and making it to expensive, makes him a greedy bastard. Oil companies purposely shutting down refineries to create artificial demand so they can shoot up the price of gas... greedy bastards. The high price of gas hurts everyone (even if you drive an EV) because it makes everything more expensive. I 1000 percent call it greed

FYI wannabe "Premium" is 91* here. I don't know of any 93*, so there's that.

Ended up getting a screw in the passenger rear tire of the Y, so had to take it to get the tire repaired. While it was being repaired, I got to get a closer look at the rear suspension setup

This morning it rained, and I got to test out the auto wiper settings. They seem to work very well, Tesla has fixed them!

They've always worked for me. I just tested them in heavy rain for the first time this morning.

When I first got the Y, the windshield wipers would just go off on their own. I would have to turn them off. Now I just keep them on Auto. Tesla has had more than 9 updates since I got delivery, so one of them probably fixed the issue

Really? I've had so many, I'm only guessing! I once had two within the same week. What version on you currently on? The latest is 2023.32.6

And if you have FSD at times they activate and can't be turned off not sure if this has been fixed. For a company that touts the best part is no part they sure like to complicate certain things.

Currently 2023.26.9. You have HW3 and we have HW4, so not sure if that factors in to this.

Yeah it feels like our Model Y gets an update like once a week. We’ve gotten like 3 in the last week or 2.

and agree about the improvement in the auto wipers. They weren’t great when we first got the Model Y. Now they work really well, we also just leave them on Auto now

They also set to "auto" when using Autopilot, which is where I was having issues with the wiper. Now that they seemed to fix the issue, they don't go off when the windshield is dry
