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.

    Regardless of your opinion on teslas, cars, hacking your own devices, FOSS, whatever:

    Car hacking needs to become a bigger thing, fuck this bullshit trend the entire market is jumping on. We need to be able to take control of our devices back from these assholes.

      No i definitely agree. Just think there’s only so much you can do practically. That would be so hard for most people to do. You’re absolutely right though. We need LAWS against this absolutely ridiculous data collection in these cars. It’s fucking terrible and I am also extremely weary of buying a new vehicle because of it.
