    Did you know there’s people out there that know how to jailbreak all tesla cars?

    They can disconnect those cars from the centralized service to keep them from being controlled by the corporation that made them.

    those BMW and ford cars that have certain features locked behind a monthly subscription service can be jailbroken too.

    You’re not doing anything wrong if you pay to have something you bought modified. If you paid money for it, you own it…I don’t care what the fine print in any ToS has to say. You buy it, it’s yours.

      Ethically I agree completely but this should only be done if you’re past your warranty (or don’t care about it).

        I agree. And be ready for the insurance company to deny all claims related to the vehicle once they discover the “modification”.

            Sure. But you cant pretend that its some super secret that only non corpos know about and be surprised when the tech who makes the inspection knows what to look for

          People do car modifications all the time, and the car is still covered under warranty.

          Since the vehicles don’t burn any gas and don’t have any emission standards to comply with, the issue here is even less important.
