Tesla cracks down on FSD hacking devices, remotely shuts down access
- josephcsible 6mo ago> Tesla remotely [...] stripped FSD entirely — reverting them to basic Autopilot. > owners who activated FSD through the hack received in-vehicle notifications that they were permanently banned from using FSD — even those who had paid for it. Whichever human beings actually made the decision to do that should go to prison for violating the CFAA. Once I buy a car from you, it's mine and not yours anymore, so I can make whatever changes I want without getting your permission first, and you no longer have the right to go into my garage and take pieces off of it. > Tesla mass-emailed affected owners [...] that the company “reserves the right to refuse warranty repairs regardless of whether the device actually caused the damage.” Isn't this a violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act?
- dlcarrier 6mo agoFSD already works in the US, where the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act applies, so no one that would get any use out of the devices is covered by it.
