You'd think that's something Tesla would engineer right or fix already. Hopefully they already have. But as with all things, you must see lots of things like this by now; every model of every manufacturer has stuff like this.
Speaking of, can you share how you disable logging locally? Would be very helpful. I'd ideally like to move all logging remote so nothing gets written locally), though I'm not sure how feasible that is. (I am already logging remotely, but want to make sure whatever I do to disable local logging actually prevents it from getting written to flash).
You have to set up a cron job (crontab -e), and call a script at @reboot. Something like:
Code:
service rsyslog stop
sleep 1
killall -HUP rsyslogSee, on boot the Tegra goes to the Spansion flash and runs the code, which builds the filesystem in RAM. Then chains to it. And mounts partition 3 in the eMMC to /var and partition 4 as /home. This is why you can't disable the logging service as each time /etc (and most everything else) is built from the immutable partition 1 or 2. And it's why crontab -e is non-volatile as it's done on /var files. I put my scripts in /home somewhere.
Some ppl move logging to the SD card, but those of us with 2015 and newer don't have an SD card. Tesla uses Upstart and hasn't graduated to systemd yet. May never on the MCU1's.

So I was forced to file a complaint with NHTSA. I begged National Customer Service to not make me do this, as I love Tesla and fully support Elon, but...
Interesting that @Btr_ftw helped someone through this already and Tesla agreed to do the airbag recall.

I have a salvage tesla Model S. I bought it as a CPO in 2015 and it became salavge in December of 2017. I fixed the car and Tesla made it unsupported around mid June and by mid July supercharging was gone. Today the car won’t start giving me messages saying software update needed for car to start and car needs service. Tesla keeps taking away things from me and now the car is undrivable. I’m in need of help any advice and help would be appreciated. Thanks again

Tesla hasn't gone as far as to disable the cars, so either something failed or you just replaced something.
Where are you located?

Any good at Linux? Root your car and fix it yourself.
If not, pay wk $1,000+ for him to fix it.

That's a great article, I wonder who Sadow is? Would love to visit, or even work, in his shop. I really enjoy taking my car apart. Would love to learn more about doing it.

It was a joke. I literally tagged him in my post. Ingineer is Sadow. I highly doubt he gives tours but maybe he'll respond here
I would be really careful to use ingineers services.
He rooted and tried to convert a friends car to EU charging and lighting.
Lighting didn't work. So my friend repaired the car in one year time. And last week he asked ingineer to finally fix the lighting issue.
He just did a firmware update and bricked the tuner with this update. The lights still didn't work. BUT ingineer wanted 350 Dollar for this firmware update, which needs 5 mins to start. The car does the rest alone.
350 dollar for a bricked tuner and not solving the lighting issue.
When my friend didn't pay 5 days after that, ingineer locked his car out of his web interface for which my friend paid 750 dollar to use.
Solved this issue with other peoples help now
Can share these contacts if anyone is interested.
The car finally got registered on Friday
Just wanted to give a small word of caution here, from the experience we had.
Thanks for chiming in. I personally don’t feel comfortable with completely relying on some dude totally unaffiliated with Tesla to firstly ensure your safety when your life is on the line, and second, not screw you over when something goes wrong.
Disabling someone’s software or allegedly bricking their hardware when they attempt to infiltrate your network/root that they paid for would make @Ingineer no better than the folks at Tesla who did the same. While I’m not sure of the feasibility, rather than disabling their network, a better alternative would be to add more security on the other end to prevent attempts like those that were claimed.
Just my two cents

Good for him (and the other five people doing this). Tesla's atittude is unbelievably stupid.

Right to Repair!
I've finally realised Tesla globally are a bunch of *%%$s when it comes to slavage cars and its not just limited my part of the World (Australia/NZ). So I paid Ingineer and have a had a great experience so far.
My 10 cents:
I get the impression that this is a real tricky business to be in. There's growing demand so guys doing it are getting busy. They can't exactly setup franchises/hire staff because its still a 'grey' industry and there's a big difference between being a one-man-band vs being a corporation in this space. So they each get busier and we all know that the busier we are the harder it is to cope and be nice to everybody. I'd like to know if anyone has an idea on how to move on from here-how can this be made legit? We should be allowed to run legitimate businesses fixing and modifying the computers and software in products in the same way as we are allowed to fix and modify the mechanical and electronic parts. Does the recent "right to repair" ruling help with this?
