As well as bundling it prices have been bumped up, to me that is not giving it away for free.

Sorry I misunderstood your previous comment. I assumed you meant that they should include safety features for no extra cost, which they do, not that they shouldn't charge anything at all for safety features, which is such a weird and extreme take that I'm not sure what to even say...

my original comment was around the point of mixing morality and business.

> I assumed you meant that they should include safety features for no extra cost, which they do

I could buy a car without it for 37500 and now I can't but I can now buy a car with it for 39500 and you would still consider this is no extra cost?

I must be misunderstanding what you are saying

There’s no moral problem with increasing the price when it becomes a better product.

There arguably is a moral problem selling a product with optional safety features that cost extra.

If tesla invented immortality fields within their vehicles, I have no doubt they would jack up the price, and that would be fine, because it’s now a much better car. To think otherwise would be silly.
