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.
I’ve seen a few classic cars retro fitted with Tesla batteries and engines from junkyard teslas. A common thread in that space is that you don’t get high speed charging. There weren’t really alternatives to super chargers at that time, so maybe they can use the other high speed chargers these days. Anyway, that’s tells me it’s possible, but that’s an extreme end of it. Just removing software probably requires a lot of specialized knowledge.
Oh that probably is a good place to look into. I know for some cars changing out the whole ECU is needed to go FOSS, so buying parts might just be what’s needed if the DRM sucks to much on them. Junked Tesla rebuilds or retrofits using them probably have all sorts of what to use if you don’t have (or in this don’t want to use) XYZ part
