Tesla drops Steam gaming support inside its vehicles

[John Elden Ring]

Tesla is telling new Model S and Model X buyers that they won’t have access to Steam gaming inside their electric vehicles.

However, we now learn that Tesla is dropping the feature. The automaker wrote to people taking delivery of new Model S and Model X vehicles:

Tesla is updating the gaming computer in your Model X and your vehicle is no longer capable of playing Steam games. All other entertainment and app functionalities are unaffected.

Oh no how unfortunate. Now I will abstain from buying a Tesla. Good lord.

Americans really do everything in their cars.

They're switching to SOCs (like consoles) to cut costs.

I'm pretty sure people in other countries do that too.

But what if i want to play video games while i drive
that's surely safe and a good idea right?

Probably because no one was making use of the functionality?

Until the cars become autonomous, what's the point?
