The ICE comparison falls down because when you buy a tune, you're genuinely buying either additional parts or labour to improve the interplay between existing parts. There's something tangible there that needs setting up

This is just a variable in the ECU that can be activated remotely to essentially "un-nerf" the car. £649 for something that's already there in a car you own is a fucking scandal.
