You WILL be comfortable and accept the fact that they will restrict and control how you drive their car when they want how they want...I'm sure you will also be able to pay more to have these restrictions held back

You've obviously not read past the headline. These restricted profiles would configured by the teen's parent or guardian, not by Tesla.

Over the years, many people have asked Tesla to bring in restricted driver profiles, similar to Tesla’s currently existing Valet Mode. Valet Mode already serves to restrict the car’s maximum speed, reduces acceleration, and disables the use of Autopilot and FSD. The new restricted profiles will let you apply certain restrictions to driver profiles without the full-fledged restrictions of Valet Mode which also limits HomeLink, GPS history and more.
