That'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.
