What a spectacularly bad idea.
1. If they can do it for Russia, they can do it for others too.
2. A car is not a service, it's a product. Bricking it after it's purchased for cold, hard cash amounts to vandalism of personal property, not an embargo.
- ashwagary 5y agoThis is a great way to kill a car company. People in tech here know this can be done but the general public does not. Remote bricking would cause a large % of potential customers to avoid this company completely.
- kragen 5y agoOf course. But we need to figure out how to ensure this in a way that doesn't depend so delicately on Tesla being able to resist pressure from, say, the US Senate.
- ls15 5y ago> What a spectacularly bad idea. That they could do it is already a spectacularly bad idea. I would never buy a Tesla because of this.
