Very safety focused- Sure, now for the open market part. How about we try to find a third party shop that has access to repair and re-enable that Tesla's Supercharger mode?

Across the USA there are shops working on exotic cars, hybrid vehicles and full EV's. You dont hear about Nissan all electrics or BMW all electrics exploding all over the place. Its insane to claim Tesla's are so advanced and so magical that an ASE certified mechanic cant work on them.

If FoMoCo or GM did this everyone would claim Antitrust. MS cant force you to use IE, but Tesla, they are the golden boy on wall street and no one is willing to hold them to the same standards as other Automotive manufacturers.



Tesla has a bunch of certified body shops and they have the correct software to diagnose and modify the vehicle...check your receipts.

Same for bmw, and all other exotic cars. Hell even Apple.


Tesla has locked down their third party repair options to only where required by law. The deliver the minimum viable product. And since you mention apple https://apple.slashdot.org/story/20/02/06/2015209/apples-ind...

Since you seem to be under the impression that Teslas are friendly to work on please take a moment and Enjoy this lovely youtuber who spends his time pissing off Tesla: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfV0_wbjG8KJADuZT2ct4SA
