“How long do you think it will take Tesla to alter their software to make this hack obsolete?”
As long as they are engaging in this business practice, there will just be another hack.
So either Tesla keeps trying this strategy and keep losing money on it, or they come up with a better business practice. Either way, it’s a win for the consumer.
I would expect to see some kind of hardware key being implemented to go along with the software. A pure software fix is unlikely.
