After VW was outed for falsifying environmental data in its cars hundreds of thousand of VW vehicles were taken off the road now sitting in storage sites. Hundreds of thousands of cars now lie in lots in the Mojave Desert, a shuttered suburban Detroit football stadium, and a former Minnesota paper mill in America alone. These vehicles are now in the open slowly breaking down with pollutants entering the environment. Is the the modern cost of corporate greed? What can we do to ensure this never happens again?

    Same with the extended battery option. You pay more for more capacity, but it's the same battery with different software.

    Apparently not on the Model 3. The mid-range version is claimed to have a fewer battery cells in the battery unit.
