“Car firmware shouldn’t be open source, that’s dangerous.” There’s no way in hell Tesla would have gotten away with selling this for so long if their users were allowed to read the unobfuscated source.

I really don’t think the average IRC lurker who could figure out how to compile the firmware could be any more dangerous than the “engineers” who wrote it in the first place.
