A pirated car would just be a more free way to access the $10k/yr pay wall you live your life behind. Car-dominant infrastructure is vendor lock in.
Edit: fixed picture
Don’t worry there will be some vulnerability with the CPU that they wouldn’t be able to patch out fully.
you’re paying for a backend service and a constant internet connection for your car here though, not for some client side feature that can be easily unlocked
If i can put my own sim card in why not?
- they’re not using a conventional network
- they still have to pay for the backend infrastructure
- my point is that this is not a client side feature, so it can’t be unlocked by some cpu vulnerability. This is a case in which a subscription service DOES make sense
- Who asked them to do that?
- Who asked them to be the sole provider of that infrastructure? give me the server exec to host locally
- They designed it that way to justify this shit. I hope they all get fucked.
I mean some people figured out how to crack a tesla to enable all the features including the secret “Elon” mode so.
Vote with your wallet.
Hell yeah! Fuck car dependent infrastructure!
“You wouldn’t download a car?”
I remember back in the old days when remote start was a thing you paid someone to install in your car and, in those days, “remote climate” was remote start plus remembering to set it on high before your got out.
Subscriptions are dumb, you should be able to buy these outright, but there are people who can’t so 🤷🏻♀️
Edit: but for remote lock and alarm, those have been around for ages. That should come standard.

I think a lot of this conversation boils down to someone needing to make an ESP32 device that sits in your OBD port and can be addressed directly for those who have a car that can connect to your home WiFi. I feel like one of those already exists…
