What does "working on your car yourself" entail? Can you change wiper blades, refill fluids, change flat tires, etc?

Cars come with ransomware now?

Yep, they literally took away access from supercharge stations while a family was on a roadtrip (effectively leaving them stranded) because they did some repairwork themselves, then held the car hostage for over 10k to reinstate those features.

Eh. The "features" it disables aren't exactly independent. "Supercharging" stations are still Tesla ran aren't they?
Not saying it's fair but definitely seems like something they should have been aware of going into it.

Why? I think its safe. This way if there is someone the intelligence community deems a threat they can just remotely lock their doors and speed their car up to 200 miles an hours until they crash.

What? No. It's a ludicrous policy for a company to hold. They're effectively holding every tesla on the road hostage to their whims and insane pricing models. No other car company does this, so it shouldn't be something you should "expect going into it".

What a shitty opinion. Leaving your family stranded is something they should have notifed him of, especially since he left their service station, and since the guy he called only know of one other case, this is a rare issue. This bullshit is why captialism in it's purist form is bound to fail.

I'm not saying that owners shouldn't have any rights here but at some point you can't expect the company to keep servicing and supporting vehicles they haven't certified. Who the fuck does Tesla sue when one of these vehicles catches fire and burns a supercharging station down? Or do you somehow still think that's Tesla's problem?

At least when GM tried to pull this shit years ago with their EV1's, they were just leases, nobody actually bought the cars outright, unlike what is happening to Tesla "owners" here.

Nah. Digital is far superior to everything at this point. Compact Disc audio is held back by shitty standards set by a pretentious Sony employee back in the 80s. You can make them better but it's a total toss up as to whether or not they'll play as most players only recognize the red book standard.

Don't even have to fight each other. Strafing rockets in the temple is great fun. Strafed rockets are awesome to watch.

If they fail to properly notify buyers of this (which they did fail to do) then they should just take the loss. There is zero reason that Tesla couldn't notify that man when he was there, and zero reason they should not notify potential buyers. Unless, they're greedy fucks and do not want to scare away potential buyers. They should be sued for leaving this man and his family stranded without prior warning. The only reason this didn't really end up bad because he had capital.

I cannot wait until tesla jailbreaking becomes mainstream, enabling features that are on the car that is just a software switch, and Tesla is legally unable to tell people they can't modify the software unless they state the owners don't actually own their cars.

This kind of behavior just isn't okay from a manufacturer.

It's not even a repair bill. It's a ransom for them to flip a switch that they randomly turned off on you.

Doesn't make a difference, if you have an RCP and I got nothing I'll charge you with my hands if the only option is that.

Watch it again.
The $10k bill was what the manager said another car had cost to get rectified. We never got the numbers on what that person was quoted, if they had been quoted at all.
