A few years ago, when buying a car, options were often about physical items that could not be added after delivery. But in recent years, everything has changed, and now you can get the keys to the car, and then buy comfortable things through an online store. The system is becoming increasingly popular among brands such as BMW and Mercedes. Tesla does it a little differently, but there are also features that are present in the car but cannot be activated unless the customer has paid for it. And, of course, it can disappoint some.

There is one exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

Hacking in order

So much so that a small group of students decided to look into this issue and took it to heart to break the brand’s car. The goal? Unlock standard paid features to use them for free. This is called jailbreaking and is a well-known method, especially in the field of video games. This practice is obviously completely illegal, which doesn’t stop some from trying it. Especially since the test worked here. Thus, they managed to unlock a Beta version of FSDeven in Europe, when the latter is not offered there.

Reasonable value

But that’s not all, because a flaw in the system discovered by the students also allowed them to activate the heated seats for free or even more acceleration in the Long Autonomy version. If this hack may seem complicated, the young people explain that it only cost them a hundred dollars for the equipment. For this they simply pulled out cryptographic key which Tesla uses to identify computers on its network.
