With the boycott for Teslas seemingly going strong I was wondering if anyone has successfully removed the proprietary software off any of the models or removed it from the Tesla network?

Considering that the cameras send data to other cars on the network to be processed (using the customers power instead of the company’s) this seems better than just reselling to me.

    And… what would be the point? To brick a perfect fine car?

    The boycott isn’t “going strong”, there isn’t even a clear reason for any “boycott.”

    People are still buying teslas. The only discouraging thing is all the idiot criminal vandals. Most tesla owners aren’t even worried. Most tesla owners don’t live in the same neighborhood as those who would vandalize.

      I know it’s a tough concept to grasp, but I was raised with the belief that you should punch Nazi’s in the face, not buy their shit.

          1. You seem to think I buy those products either, I don’t.

          2. There is a world of difference between the past actions of a company over 80 years ago vs the current, ongoing embrace of Nazi symbolism and ideals by a CEO who also happens to be trying to dismantle the country he lives in. You know there’s a difference, I know there’s a difference, you just don’t give a shit. You are a bad person.

            Lol. There is a difference, but not the difference you think.

            Why are so many democrats against the gutting of the federal government? Isnt this something that democrats want?

              No that’s a Republican thing. Democrats (in theory) want the government to fund essentials like roads, school lunches for kids, social security and other such programs.

              It’s the republican stance that such things should be left to the private sector and charity organizations

      The point is privacy, your political rant is irrelevant, changing software to a tesla will make the tesla still look like a tesla and OP wont solve the vandalism problem, this wont make tesla sell less car, if OP brick their car is none of your business.

      Do you think entire forums are dedicated to degoogling Google Pixels because people happily brick their perfect fine phones? Yes, some Pixels were bricked during the development of GrapheneOS but many more will live longer thanks to a sleek, lightweight OS with life-extending security updates, not to mention the other advantages.
