I can tell you that in choosing between job candidates, I'm definitely not choosing the guy that got sued by Tesla for hacking his car to avoid paying for the upgrade - whether Tesla prevailed or not.
While I personally think it is unethical to upgrade a 60 to a 75 yourself, I wouldn't worry too much about this aspect. There are plenty of companies where having the ability to hack a car in this way outweighs the moral concerns over hiring someone who actually did it.
As an aside. For those exploring legal scenarios, it might be good to explicitly mention under which jurisdiction you are working. Tesla is selling in such a wide variety of countries that it's quite probably that hacking a 60 to be a 75 is legally actionable in some but not in others.
