Comment on Tesla Model S Ethernet Network Exploredparent

Given that the fires were blown out of proportion by the media, I'm totally not surprised that they reacted this way.

Imagine headlines if someone would be killed due to not correctly operating component because the owner used a buggy mod.

If that's possible from the entertainment system bus rather than hotwiring chips and critical inaccessible wires, they deserve such headlines.

The only thing blown out of proportion is the reaction by Tesla and their supporters to the media. The media is doing what they do. Presenting stories that people care about. Major incidents to a brand that is new and popular is absolutely newsworthy.

But just because there maybe a bad story or two doesn't mean that Tesla should prevent people from doing whatever they want to their own car.
