Hackers were able to exploit the AMD Secure Processor which allows them to jailbreak the infotainment system. The hackers believe that they can run any software they want and essentially unlock any features that are software-locked. It’s “un-patchable” short of a hardware updates from Tesla.

Yeah, and then Tesla will shut down your car remotely and refuse to fix it because you customized your own car. Because you don't really own your car, you license it because Tesla can turn it into a paperweight at any time.
