With the boycott for Teslas seemingly going strong I was wondering if anyone has successfully removed the proprietary software off any of the models or removed it from the Tesla network?

Considering that the cameras send data to other cars on the network to be processed (using the customers power instead of the company’s) this seems better than just reselling to me.

    Selling your tesla means someone else has to buy it. I think hacking a tesla to turn it into something different (like turning a mac into a hackinotsh) is a morally acceptable alternative. Bonus points for putting a new badge on it.

            There’s a whole world out there and you’d willingly sit in jail? Sorry, I mean sit in a walled garden?

              Afaik you can still use any compatible software you want on a Mac; with the apple silicon chips that may be changing, and they might require installs from the apple store. IDK if it is-- you tell me. Big sad if it is.

              For me a big draw of using Linux on my PC was to have another option for the OS and desktop environment, even if getting software I wanted was more difficult or impossible. I would be into trying this with Mac, if it weren’t so difficult / expensive (to do it legally).
