hmm 2000 dollars for the acceleration boost or 2000 dollars for a slightly faster performance boost with complete loss of warranty and possible loss of updates from tesla
Couldn't have said it better!

lying about the pedal input doesn’t change the performance of the car though.
Keep in mind this is not a Tesla thing but a software licensing thing. Almost all manufactures of all types of products from passenger jets to TV's the software is owned by the company. It is just that Tesla is almost completely controlled by software. As other cars move to more software controls and become EV the same licensing limitations will apply.

The more these arrangements are pushed, the more people will push back. eventually the law will be changed
Usually NOT in favor of the consumer, if history is any guide.

I wouldn't be surprised in man-in-the-middle stuff like this end up making Tesla encrypt the CAN network.
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is an example of laws being changed to protect the consumer
Th
. I am still an idealist that believes the will of the people wins out over the long term. of course the 'people' don't have much will in most matters.
The law was passed in 1975.
That's 45 years ago.
The record since then has...not been great.
I appreciate your optimism. Meanwhile- studies suggest that congress essentially ignores what the bottom 90% of Americans (by income/worth) want

I’m still waiting on the Acceleration Boost for my LeMR which Elon said ok to on Twitter end of last year.....
@SomeJoe7777 Funny, on the Tesla jobs board a little while back I saw them hiring for a tech guy with crypto management experience.I'm surprised they don't do that already.
In addition to encryption, each device can also be upgraded to digitally sign each CAN packet, and the receiver can verify the digital signature. Injecting packets onto the bus then becomes impossible, as you won't have the signing key.
Without revealing too much info, I have first-hand knowledge of a hackable system that was heavily exploited by hackers in the early 2000's. Encryption, digital signatures, ROM checksums, and dynamically-changing executable code was used by the designers of the system to make the hacking impossible. By 2004, this system was no longer hackable, and remains secure to this day. Tesla can easily duplicate these efforts if they desire.
According to them can be fully reverted back to stock. Sounds like what most software update companies are doing where you can just reflash back to stock when taking in for service.
Probably.
But the car still knows how quickly the actual vehicle is accelerating, and if it's out of spec for the type of car it is.
So his'll be trivial for Tesla to catch.
Interesting how? First, it isn't the same level of overclocking. And second, Tesla has surely allocated a portion of the "boost" upgrade charge to the additional warranty claims that will be the result of the upgrade.
Will the EG warranty your battery/drive-unit as part of their performance unlock?
lying about the pedal input doesn’t change the performance of the car though.
Again, same motors as the Performance version of the car, especially in the early versions.But the extra wear on the motors from accelerating faster wouldn’t be covered..
The Performance versions (at least the early ones) have the exact same powertrain as the standard dual motor versions.
