I know this is meant to be a joke but knowing folks that work in said department this is only true of engineering cars. They aren't able to do whatever they want with their own production cars. The TLDR is production cars are "fused" at the factory to only work with firmware signed for production vehicles and devs can't produce these production builds themselves. There is facilities for live patching production cars but these systems are even more restrictive. On the other hand... all bets are off in an engineering car. :P
