Comment on Elon Musk reveals Tesla software-locked cheapest Model Y, offers 40-60 more miles of range
MrVilliam@lemmy.world 6 months agoHas anybody jail broken these things yet? It can’t be that hard to do, but I’m not tech savvy enough to know where to begin. There has to be a way to circumvent that lock and still be able to manually grab software updates that the user deems necessary (e.g. recalls). Would it be legal? Idk, if I buy a battery, I think I have the right to use the battery. If I buy a seat warmer, I think I have the right to use the seat warmer. If it’s part of the car I bought, I don’t see why I wouldn’t be allowed to use it. Otherwise, what the fuck does ownership even mean?

People sure have, but then your warranty is void. And with a Tesla, you’re probably going to wish you had that warranty one day.
