Article: Tesla Allegedly Disables Rapper’s Cybertruck After Song Critique.
A company being able to deactivate your purchased property is absolutely dystopian
Not absolutely, because a company being able to deactivate your purchased property for ulterior reasons is more dystopian.
I also suspect the rapper wasn’t exactly praising the cybertruck, so that would add “for
insultingmisrepresenting? a company”. That’s even more dystopian.
So stupid. So petty. Elon needs to grow the fuck up.

Unacceptable. It should be illegal to even build the capability to brick someone else’s property
Just wanted to say, huge props for editing the post and title when you found out it was debunked. That’s so important and too many people just don’t take that step when they learn, so upvoted for that
LOL registered previously in your name OR in your possession…
So Tesla doesn’t even give a shit if the guy still owns the vehicle, they deactivated it because he owned it at one point in time.
He could have sold it to some poor fuck who now has a bricked Cyber truck and Tesla don’t give a fuck.
I thought it was forbidden by tesla to resell these things?
They tried that with the Founders Series but they walked back after they found out sales were slow.
As much as this sounds real, it’s not.
We have a picture of the letter in this post. If you have any proof, the onus is on you to provide it.
The only vehicle I will ever buy is one I have full and total control over. No remote shutdown, no DRM, no limp-home mode, nothing to prevent me from using it and enjoying it.
I don’t feel bad for losers that bought Nazi cars and trucks. You should have known better. And people expect these people to go to space and not randomly kill people?
