Hey kid, don’t waste your breath defending corporations. You will end up being wrong in the end, and before that you just look like a fool.

    Highlight where in the above post I am defending anything.

    Isn't it tacitly defending this pricing model?

    I've worked in commercial environments where we've had the rug pulled on us in exactly this manner.

    Sure today Tesla isn't charging you, but the moment it is expedient for them, they will.

    A lot of users here will have had the same experience with Reddit -- it's not unprecedented.

    Not at all.

    Lemmy is overwhelmingly militantly anti-Tesla, which is understandable considering who owns it, but it does mean that users tend to interpret any neutral or factual statements (basically anything that is not outright criticism) as having a pro-Tesla bias.

    In this case, all I am stating is the fact that this specific change currently only affects corporate users. That could of course change in the future.

    There is a rich history of cloud based data providers pulling the rug from under users with no warning. Look at what happened to Nest users when Google took over.
