Yeah, this stuff is always cheaper. Companies, like Tesla, have convinced a few stupid people that it's "premium" but if you look at all the cheapest cars coming to market all they have is a touch screen, like Tesla. It's the absolute cheapest option and it sucks.

Car companies won't be happy until cars become yearly upgrade items like phone companies have convinced us to do with mobile phones

Well I'd gladly switch my car on yearly basis if it cost the same as my phone...
