    I wouldn’t doubt he’d try that, but if he did he’d be in for a world of hurt since people need their cars to get to work. I imagine the government wouldn’t take kindly to people’s 5 digit dollar purchased not working on the whims of a crazy billionaire.

      It doesn’t have to be as blatant as turning them off. Just garnishing features. Nerfing sentinel, range, top speed, etc.

      I can almost hear the bullshit. “X state’s lithium recycling tax policy means we have to limit discharge to 80% to avoid premature battery degredation. Drivers may notice a range reduction but it is required to operate within this new regulatory environment”
