Tesla Hackers Find ‘Unpatchable’ Jailbreak to Unlock Paid Features for Free::A group of security researchers claim to have found an “unpatchable” jailbreak for some Tesla vehicles, potentially unlocking in-car purchases
in-car purchases
That’s an absolutely disgusting combination of words.
“It looks like you’re trying to flee a wildfire. However, you have just run out of Elon X Points and are unable to continue driving. Please wait 5 hours for your Elon X Points to replenish. Can’t wait? We’d like to offer you our once in a lifetime SpaceX Booster X bundle of 15,000 points for just $299.99!”
This issue is going to end up landing in front of the right-wing, pro-business Supreme Court, isn’t it??
I can see it now. Tesla is going to write some software that detects this patch. They might not be able to stop it, but they can lock these cars out of the Supercharger network and potentially brick the cars. Buyers of these vehicles are going to sue Tesla. Probably go back and forth in the courts for a few years until it ultimately reaches the Supreme Court.
Nooo, think about daddy Melon, our saviour and inventor of all things! How is he going to save the world without his shitty car MTX?
I want to go to mars, rocket-travel to Central Park, I want to have full self driving next year, use a Tesla tunnel and not get stuck in traffic, and maybe travel in a can in near-full vacuum! Maybe use X as my bank, when he has enough money to pay for the rent of twitter building.
Pls think about all the inventions! Think about all the billions he could waste jerking his ego off by purchasing another community and turning it to shit!
My god people, don’t sudo your cars and unlock features that are already installed, but disabled. Pls.

Cool stuff.
As far as I know, the full self driving codebase doesn’t get delivered to an end-user unless they’ve paid for the feature and have been “approved” through some safe driving algorithm. This means we’re unlikely to see free FSD for all unless somebody manages to capture the firmware package and upload it.
Can we stop call it FSD, it’s not. It’s just assisted driving, and if I have to be monitoring the entire time, it’s no more useful than cruise control.

Nice!!! That should piss off that petty tyrant old Musky.
Insurance will gladly deny you in case of accidents containing your licensed and jailbroken device. Don’t buy this shit in the first place
It would be incumbent on the insurance company to prove that you willfully circumvented the system. Given an accident serious enough, the Tesla’s computer could be physically damaged to the point where no data could be retrieved.
I’d bet they find a way to not pay out.
Insurance is generally not in the business of breaking contracts. If they have a legitimate reason to not pay, they won’t, but they won’t screw you over just because they don’t feel like paying. The risk is too high
I heard a workmate call him Elongated Muskrat. I had to congratulate her.
