    This why Tesla’s are banned in any strategic areas in China. They worry about the same play that they are going to do when the BYDs enter Canada. Rolling spy machines.

    Also the cars are easy to hack…

      I’m looking forward to the open source upgrades to these vehicles. I’m sure someone will try to say it’s a safety issue to run your own code instead of the manufacturer’s.

        Jail breaking these would be amazing. F their subscriptions for heated seats and more HP, I have all the options now!

        My guess is the BYDs would be the easiest considering how bad their security is atm. I know Tesla is a bunch of ass hats when it comes to self repair. They would lose their mind if they lost control of their cars.

            Yup, they went after that guy that fixed his battery w/ less than 20 dollars in plumbing parts from damage hitting some simple road debris. The only option they gave him was a new batter for an ungodly amount of money.
