Tesla Remotely Extended Range of Drivers in Florida. That's Not a Good Thing

This is an interesting question that has new meaning in the era of always-connected devices. Decades ago printer companies sold the same printer for business and consumers but the consumer version would have wait cycles programmed in to give it a slower print speed. I remember a Sony DVD player having extra features in the high end model but it turns out if you took the high end remote and used it with the entry model those same features worked.

Aside from voiding your warranty, there didn't seem to be any consequences for hacking devices you bought but now the manufacturer can undo your hacks in the next update, which is scary.
