    I don’t really care if this is real or not, or if the song sucks, or if it’s a banger, or if it never existed.

    None of that is what’s concerning.

    The concerning thing for me is that, even if it’s fake, everyone just kinda accepting that Tesla can, and would, remotely deactivate a vehicle, when it may be in motion, and may be in a dangerous or otherwise hazardous location where losing control could mean that people die…

    And everyone is just like “that’s totally something they would do! Lol”… What?

    I could give a fuck less if they deactivate his… Idk, heated seat subscription, or autopilot, or (insert stupid feature here). But making it so the vehicle can’t drive? For a car you paid money to “own”?

    What the actual fuck everyone?

    Boycott. That’s all that I can say. … Not that I wasn’t already planning on doing that…

      Google it and you’ll see tons of websites telling this was faked.

      E.g. that it’s highly illegal to stop a car on the road, contradictory information on tesla display (failed update and cease and desist, don’t go together. Also return to dealer while being disabled?), addressed name in letter is not the real name, hyphen in wrong place, etc. And tesla (obviously) claimed it’s false.

      I’m not saying this is proof but saying there are a lot of red flags. Any update from him? Not that I could find. A stunt perhaps to gain publicity?

      Keep in mind pretty much everyone on this platform already hates Tesla and does not nor would they own a Tesla vehicle. There’s also a certain ‘you got what you deserve by buying that’ kind of attitude towards Tesla owners.

      This is behaviour we expect from this shit company and it doesn’t directly effect any of us commenting on it. We just get to point and laugh (for now).

      The discussion might be a little different if it was a less expected brand like IKD, Audi. But who’s to say for sure; there’s been a lot of ‘cattle’ behaviour lately.
