You think it's bad when Tesla do it just wait until the states get API access and deactivate your car over an unpaid ticket that doesn't actually exist because all these databases are filled with crap.

Reminds me of the story about the "NULL" license plate. The story where they got all the tickets assigned to cars where the plate reading failed.

They can already do that, considering that most (normal) cars have anti-theft systems (aka remote kill switches). The only thing missing is the API access, like you mentioned.
