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.

    Maybe you don’t realize but one of the major issues with modern cars is firmware compatibility. Porsche is super egregious about it, others do it. But basically let’s say you take a gearbox out of a specific car because it’s wrecked. You need a laptop from a dealer to pair the replacement. They not only will not sell you the software or connector, they have legal protections that say they don’t have to.
