Or someone running a couple of 3D printers.

We’re talking about opening the door, not starting the engine.

…Or if there were an alternative option that didn’t rely on software and electronics is my point.

Cars have had electronic remote keyless entry for decades. It’s not new. Some of them even have phone apps that duplicate that functionality. No one but Tesla has been stupid enough to remove the keyhole, though.

If it’s implemented correctly, a physical metal key does not require electricity or a functioning computer to work, either…

As if I needed yet another reason to never ever own a Tesla.

My car has this crazy technology in it: You can stick the key in the door and twist and it’ll unlock. Even if the network is down or the battery is dead. Arcane, right?

Yeah, they can fuck off. When their opening salvo was threats and legal bluster, I don’t see why anyone should trust an alleged olive branch now. The right thing to do was not to send this email second.

I have to work with Haier in my business now as well ever since they bought GE. They’re a shitty company that goes back on their word constantly (at least within the B2B space), and nobody should be giving them one thin dime.
