Tesla asks customers to vote against Right to Repair

  > The requirements, pushed by two national auto shop lobbying groups, would make vehicles more vulnerable to cyberattacks Is this a real concern? God, it makes me glad I drive a vehicle that's as close to analogue as possible. As someone who works on production SaaS all day, there's no way I want to trust my life to anything like that.

    It's complete BS and fear-mongering. If there is going to be a vulnerability, it's going to be there regardless of the right to repair provisions. The RTR-specific features would only allow data access under very specific conditions and with consent of the user (by for example pushing a physical button, so it can't be triggered remotely).

  Why limit it to vehicles? Why not apply it to game consoles, phones, tractors, etc.

  Elon is only concerned about his pocketbook, his ability to control the Teslas and lock owners out.
