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.

    Looking more into this for existing Teslas owners or people wanting an EV looking to buy used Teslas with plumbeted value. Buying brand new would be a stupid move for anyone, and with actual moral hazard too of course

      So this is a way to sell a used tesla for more money, because it’s like a hackintosh?

      I feel like whoever owns this car would be absolutely fucked. If there is a problem with the car it’ll be way out of warranty due to the changes, no? Even if it’s already out of warranty, idk if a dealership would even agree to fix it if you’ve like flashed the OS with custom firmware lol.

        No for sure, it definitely for sakes ties, including support, from Tesla

        No idea if it would make more valuable (recently mentioned cons included), just less toxic
