I also own my car, but not surprisingly Tesla won’t have anything to do with me if I replace the batteries with ones from a different producer, because even though I own it, they get the bad PR when it blows up. But of cause I have the legal right to do so, just like you have the legal right to jailbreak your iPhone. Just don’t expect the original company to be of any help to you.
- dTal 4y agoTesla's a funny example to pick; if they detect that you've tampered with it, the company doesn't stop at "not having anything to do with you" - they actively kneecap your car. Not for liability reasons, but because it undermines their ability to market segment. You don't really "own" a Tesla the way you own most other cars. https://electrek.co/2020/08/22/tesla-fights-back-against-owners-hacking-unlock-performance-boost/ https://electrek.co/2020/08/22/tesla-fights-back-against-own...
