⚡️‼️ BIG - Tesla has remotely altered tens of thousands of customer cars without consent, confirming you don't actually OWN your Tesla when you buy one. They've demonstrated there's one single point of failure: the mothership. Whoever owns that, owns every Tesla on the road. This past week they pushed config changes that got customers banned from using FSD. Experts confirm the mechanism is simple: an SMS wakes the car up, then software is pushed and installed from the mothership straight to the car's media control unit without user interaction. This raises the question of how many privacy and data protection laws they broke, and how much data they collect on users, since they had enough to single out owners of third-party devices.
