It’s pretty much inevitable that someone will figure out how to jailbreak that car. When that happens, you could just download an unofficial patch, get rid of those BS restrictions, and unlock the full potential. Might be also wise to disable whatever wireless communication hardware came with the car. Like, disconnect the antenna or whatever.

That’s a good point. If it voids the warranty, most people won’t install a patch like that. However, that hasn’t stopped talented hackers from looking for exploits, glitches and vulnerabilities. Obviously, there’s a way in, and someone will find it even if it voids their warranty.
Yeah, for sure. A lack of talented people is definitely not the limiting factor here. The Nissan Leaf DIY community is doing awesome things, for instance.

There may be some casualties as the process iterates through to eventual success. The martyrs of the new world.
