    Sounds great till you realize it can be done the other way too—to brick. Connectivity tech is also bringing massive centralization of power.https://twitter.com/milenarodban/status/906701321360822272 …

        Which is why the decentralization movement, beyond the ICO whizz-bang, is so important.

        I don't understand T's thinking on this - surely they have sunk the cost of the battery - why install it if customer won't pay?

        I wonder if it was liability control: imagine the lawsuits if someone's Tesla refused to help someone evacuate despite having the power

        That wouldn't prevent the civil lawsuits or the PR fallout, whatever the legal basis or outcome

        Also, since when is "allowing the car to fully use its engine" a feature you pay extra for?

        that's why we need transparency and regulation of companies with hordes of data and power

        This is like an RL version of cars not being damageable in racing games because car makers don't want them to look bad

        This is already possible (and practiced) with cars purchased on subprime loans. Miss a payment, your car gets locked down.

        This practice dates to Mel Farr's dealership in the 90s. Drive in, pay, they would reset the lock.
