Tesla shutting off jailbreaked cars would be illegal in Europe at least
Couldn't they add a hardware chip that acts like a tamper seal?
That's the thing that gets jailbroken.
Depending on how it's implemented, beating it will be a matter of shorting some circuits. See how PS1 and 2 were jailbroken with modchips.
Unless they find a legal workaround. They can probably do it, if they claim it makes the car unsafe.
