They’ve done this in the past a few times haven’t they? Like when people have done battery swaps or refurbs without Tesla’s approval?
- londons_explore 3y agoI don't think they have bricked peoples cars directly... They just take away the ability to do supercharging and to use the app. Basically, your smart car becomes a dumb car. But you can still drive it - you just can't use any service that requires their servers.
- zoover2020 3y agoWhat you just described is bricking then, no?
- verve_rat 3y agoNo. To brick something means to take away all functionality, to make it as functional as a brick.
