Proprietary software strikes again.

It shouldn't be radical to say that you should control the software that runs on physical devices like cars you own.

No car currently has that and there’s no way government safety bodies would just let anyone install whatever they like on their car.

Is it tho? Battery degradation is a big problem. if your supper charging and doing 0-60 launches often your battery is going to go to shit.

People should be able to control the ratio of battery degradation to charging time.

Anyone or their business who depended on the old charging speed for mission-critical functions is screwed.

But there are more-clear warranty rules about battery degradation/lifetime. They optimized for those.
