A pirated car would just be a more free way to access the $10k/yr pay wall you live your life behind. Car-dominant infrastructure is vendor lock in.

I mean some people figured out how to crack a tesla to enable all the features including the secret "Elon" mode so.

    Curious, what was the "secret Elon Mode" about?

    Full self-driving without driver monitoring.

    Which is just fantastically dangerous and poorly advised. Very appropriate for it to be called "Elon mode," if nothing else.

    But the script that crack it never released in public AFAIK

    there is no real script to do it. They released the full research paper on it and basically you pull part of the infotainment system low as it boots and it opens the maintenance menus that allow you to grant entitlements. It's a 100% physical attack. It also probably gets reversed every so often as mothership "detects problems" with your tesla.
