I'm not really sure I follow this logic as when you buy a car you can do whatever you want to it without effecting the warranty as proven by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 which states that only if the modification is directly responsible for the issue could it be grounds to not service under warranty.

I heard you cannot remove the seatbelt.

Yes, but if you do remove the seatbelt that does not void the warranty on the engine.

What if you mess around with, say, the OS on a Tesla?

My argument is not about cars, really, it's just a point I'm trying to make.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 was likely created for a reason. If the same reason is valid for modifying the OS on a Tesla, then either the law still apply or the law need to be updated to include the words "also valid if done in software".

If it doesn't cause an accident, I don't see the issue. I'd love to hack on a Tesla OS.
