“A Tesla can literally steal itself”
- rvz 6y agoThat is a text book definition of a backdoor. The car is not yours. It's Tesla's.

- rvz 6y ago> ...until it's paid. Unfortunately with our phones, OSes, thermostats, doorbells, cameras, PCs, TVs, electric scooters, fans and cars, there is always a way for a manufacturer to find, command and control any of their products remotely even after you paid for it. So no. It still isn't 'yours' until you can completely and fully control it. That means no backdoors or automatic updates behind your back even after you turn them off.
