how much does it cost tesla to provide API access? or we don’t discuss their costs structure and profit margin? we only do that for the guy doing the actual work lol
Not sure which side of the argument you’re taking. But, to answer your questions…
how much does it cost tesla to provide API access?
Not as much as they would want you to believe. Most APIs are written once, and only updated if a major change in the backend happens. The majority of any operating costs would go into cloud services, if the telemetry from the car is sent to Tesla first. I don’t own a Tesla, so I don’t know for sure. I would imagine it’s, because that would allow Tesla better metrics on app usage.
or we don’t discuss their costs structure and profit margin?
Whose? Tesla or the app developers? I’m not against a business making a profit. It’s kind of the point. They provide some sort of service, and as a customer we pay some sort of fee. The problem as I see it, some companies (like Twitter, Reddit, and Tesla for example) are not balancing the age-old “supply and demand” model of economics. Of course that’s my opinion.
we only do that for the guy doing the actual work
Huh? Please explain.
lol
I don’t get it. Why do people end their otherwise non-funny statements with “lol”?
You came. Explaining how this price is fine since the app dev can make some money based on some basic math while not doing the same for telsa tubby.
Why this bias? How much money is telsa making per head, what is their cost structure? Should you have discussed this if we gonna justify this price gouging trick?
“Lol” here is sarcasm btw
Ps. Since they are data mining you already, could at least fucking provide api access for free which was the model pre covid mostly.
Now these parasites are data mining you and want you to pay for it 🤡
At least people are taking notice but I doubt this corpo trash will revert unless end user starts punish their profits.
well that’s some solid bootlicking lol
