I don't own a Tesla and dont have access to a US contract, but it wouldnt be far fetched that there's something in there about Tesla reserving the right to use a kill switch at their discretion.

In any sane country, one of the hundreds of consumer protection laws would have a judge laugh as they threw it out.
