If you have to get clear down to 6a and 6c to find something even remotely close... that's not what the word means. 6a talks about computers specifically. I don't know if you're aware of this but cars are not computers. 6c doesn't apply because simply trying to return something to working order from a state of not working isn't an improvement over original design.
The desire for people these days to inject hyperbole into every little thing is obnoxious and smacks of poor grasp of the English language. Nothing here was hacked. He fixed a broken car but that doesn't quite grab the readers attention and drive clicks, does it?
I didn't watch, but based on the Reddit thread, this is the longstanding MCU logging issue, correct? We have lots of threads on it here.
It is good to publicize it more. I am betting MCUs are pushing 100% failure rate with this plus the screen bubbles plus the yellowing issues.

Looks like we also have a thread here: MCU fails for the second time
100% failure rate on the S/X? Wonder when the Model 3 have the same logging issues.

Ok genius, explain to all of us how he gained access and enabled diagnostics in the MCU (which is a computer, by the way)? Is it an open system? Do we all have the same access? Why would anyone need to send the MCU to him to gain access, if he did not have to "hack" into it in order to enable the remote diagnostics?
Please, educate all of us.

Try this on for size: The etymology of the term "hack" or "hacker" (for computers) was originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe see: hacker
Everything here was hacked.
They probably can. They have known about this for years, though, and haven't done anything yet.
So what's the major issue again?
The newer high capacity chip in MCU2 and Model 3 might be fine.
Only other issue mentioned is limiting assess to diagnostics in Model 3 which limits salvage value which could eventually raise insurance cost due to less value when auctioning off totaled cars. I would think most totaled cars have value for parts not putting them back on the road.

How about a thread on the video: Rich Rebuilds / Ingineerix highlight mcu flaw : teslamotors . Link for the TLDW skip to flaw is in the reddit thread.
In short, MCUs will fail due to an excessive MCU logging issue that burns out the built in emmc chip. Also, they are putting the Model 3's guts into a Sprinter Van.
