So a leasing company bought the source code for $2.5 million and then cut off owners after they refused an additional deal. What was the point, then? Is there anything rational about this market interaction?

Leasing company probably thought they'd found some suckers to pay their (the leasing company's) cloud bills.

The leasing company leases these cars to Uber drivers in NYC, who presumably did not get cut off.

Oh, not the owners of the company, the owners of the cars the company made.

Yeah the headline made me think "oh god they are trying to get away with their scam for the third time".

I'd buy any Tesla, even the big truck, if it came with open source software! I don't want a car that's spyware like a phone. Let me be in control of it, let me mod it, let me own it.

Who's going to sell me one?
