No, "Dude, you rule" is definitely gender-neutral by now.
That would be the second person to which I was referring. [Edit, to clarify:] first person: me second person: you third person: him/her

This should be handled like we handle replacing the breaks in your car if you do it yourself.
How is that handled?
In effect, the manufacturer can only deny warranty claims for a specific part iff the consumer's aftermarket repair/modifications were responsible for the warrantied part failing. i.e. "I tinted the windows, and now the brakes are failing" does not result in warranty claims on the brakes being denied. However, "I replaced the brake pads [with faulty pads], and now the brake rotors are failing" can result in a denied warranty claim.
I'm all for rooting my phones, media devices, gaming consoles...but I think I'd stop short of rooting my car. I think back to the Toyota electronic throttle control system bugs--we can hardly trust manufacturers to develop robust automotive software on their own, long before rooting and customization are thrown into the mix. The media system modded in this post _should_ be completely separate from the "brains" of the…
If you read, he's running in a chroot within the TelsaOS (which I'm guessing controls a lot of the sensor in/outs for displays and can't really be removed). So it's like running an X server and external display on your Android in a chroot, so it looks like you're running Ubuntu and Android.

gjolunds post was definitely in the second person though.
[Edit] and I now realize that this whole subthread could have been avoided had my original comment lead with "In this case yes, but...", live and learn :P

I wouldn't be so sure. I don't know enough about CAN bus to speak authoritatively about this, nor do I know the specifics of what the dashboard has access to, but given that the dash displays information like charge level and speed, I'd guess that the dash is getting that information directly from the CAN. And I do know that CAN bus is very vulnerable. [1][2]... So you may be able to kill someone through /dev/can0, v…
Sensible cars have a device bridging high and low security networks, forwarding data from one to the other, specifically so that a misbehaving media device or light system can't clobber the brakes or ECU. No idea if the Tesla does this or not, but it's a fairly standard approach.

I wonder what happens when you get into a bad crash, somebody decides to sue, and it comes out that your car was running modified software. Would you be exposing yourself to any liability?
I guess it's like if you replace the breaks yourself.
I can't tell if the pull quotes are satire or not. "With Gentoo, my 5s 0-60 is so much faster than your 5s 0-60." Combined with the stated 3 day compile time, I'm thinking yes? Maybe?
If you look at the bottom of my blog you'll see that the captions and jokes are referencing http://funroll-loops.info/ I even took some of my favorites from there and modified them to reference Tesla, and that's what the captions are.
Context for some of the jokes: https://fun.irq.dk/funroll-loops.org/ Internet culture throwback.
When I was 15 I started my linux days using gentoo, back in 2003/2004. While the hassle of compiling and all the effort it took is laughable looking back on it, I still credit it for teaching me the command line and unix in general, these are skills I carry though with me to this day.
