>Imaging Tesla

That's not even the same thing. That's like saying imagine Apple won't let you peel fruit with an iPad.

It would be much closer to imagine Tesla not letting you install whatever custom OS onto the computer so that you can enable all features, bypass any safety features builtin to the stock system.

Except one is a goddamn car and the other is a portable general-purpose computer.

is an iPad a general-purpose computer?

Yes? In what way would it not live up to that title? It has plenty strong CPU and enough memory to put a lower-middle-end laptop to shame. Hell, before tablets, PDAs were also computers - they just only became much better. Also, for a significant percentage of people, their mobile phone is the only computer they own.
