Not sure exactly to what you're referring, but if it involves hacking your Tesla to re-enable it,
a) that will vastly reduce the level of usage, and
b) the OTA update could very well completely remove the code from storage, making the job of hacking a much more involved process than just enabling a flag.
- haikuginger 10y agoSony is settling a class-action suit with people who bought PS3s while relying on the "Other OS" feature. So, it's not about technical ability to re-enable the Autopilot feature; it's about being liable to their customers who relied on the feature being present when they shelled out $70k+.

They might then have to deal with the resulting lawsuits, but I can see many scenarios where they don't have a chance to avoid them. Tesla did, after all, sell a product with an advertised feature that isn't ready for prime-time.
