On: Mercedes EVs can go faster for $60 a month

Sure, but that should be baked into the one-time fee.

The warranty period is known. The rate of failure is know. Etc.

And by your argument, once the warranty is done, the go-fast software should be free (or nearly so).

Wouldn’t the additional wear and tear accumulate over time? The effect of added acceleration doesn’t apply all at once. Mercedes probably does know the rate, and the fee may well cover that.
