If there's a data connection which is used to stop charging, then if the data is hacked or spoofed it can—by definition—stop charging. You can't have your cake

You can't have your cake and eat it too.
- LegitShady 3y agoI don't think you understand what I said, and are arguing something else entirely.
- schiffern 3y agoThat's always possible! Can you clarify your position, so we might better understand each other? For a minute I did considered the possibility that you were leaning hard on the word manufacturer. However, I thought it was quite absurd that you would be fine with a situation where "[a third party] or whoever compromises them can remotely disable charging on my car." I intentionally avoided that less-than-charitable interpretation of your words, since IMO it would violate the HN guidelines: > Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
