    Quick question: Couldn’t Tesla’s telemetry servers detect this kind of jailbreaking and, say, remotely disable the device? I’m kind of thinking of Nintendo consoles and their bans on some jailbroken consoles (typically the ones that play pirated games online).

      I’m guessing they spoofed the telemetry in order to enable said features. It doesn’t say in the article the method, so I could be wrong.
