It really isn't. I said as much in the previous thread, but the part that elevates this past the typical petty Musk behavior was the accusation that the car was bricked while it was being driven. That goes way past anything Tesla or Musk has done before and could easily have killed someone. Doing that doesn't just require an asshole CEO, it would require incompetence of both the legal and technical folks at the company who would actually implement this type of haphazard remote disabling.
I've implemented limp modes before and the easiest way is to prevent acceleration to over a certain speed without enabling regen. If you're already at highway speeds, you'll simply coast down to the limp speed and have plenty of time to pull over.
I suspect that wouldn't fall afoul of FMVSS either, but it's never come up for me.
Yet you were saying the opposite in that previous thread.

The video had the car stopped in the middle of traffic, so this wasn't the accusation being made. You are creating a hypothetical scenario in which the accusations are plausible rather than actually engaging with the accusations as they were made.
Come on, you'd get laughed out of any other serious forum.
"Because it is on-brand with Musk behavior. If for example somebody would write that Mercedes bricked a car to an influencer, people would be skeptical because that would not be how Mercedes usually operates."
The paraphrase:
"Yeah I fell for the bait, but that says a lot about my political enemies."
Seems fair to me.

Fair point. The examples given elsewhere here are limited and very explainable cases of this, but I’d argue the overall stance of current management is good. Future management, it’s anyone’s guess, but I am just commenting what I see with current management as an owner of their cars.
You know what automakers don't do that? Literally every other automaker. When they release those kinds of details, they do so in response to a court proceeding as part of the legal discovery process so that privacy concerns, etc. can be dealt with before the information is released.
So, those details weren't actually insightful. They were just PR bullshit.
