All totally fine except it's in the context of an involuntary OTA update with unknown content. But we've decided that manufacturers have an incorruptible right to tinker with goods they've sold you after the fact. As usual the conflict between compliance and consent is coopted by the true product owners to gaslight (and ultimately to fleece) you, as you find you've become the mere licensee of your vehicle, which is not so much an object as a piece of embodied IP. The way your car works is a trade secret, don't ya know.. and today's value add is next year's rootkit. If the tesla software were open, it'd be trivial to make this feature optional. I know boycotts don't work.. so somebody (Cory Doctorow?) Wake me up when they start making an OSS car.
