Even the heated seats thing is irrelevant. I don’t get why people keep parroting this point since it’s just wrong.
They switched from Intel to an AMD for the infotainment computer sometime last year. This switchover came after Tesla stopped the heated seats upgrade nonsense — I think that was in 2020. By time they shipped the AMD boards, rear heated seats had been a standard feature. And you can’t upgrade the Intel CPU infotainment computer to an AMD either so there’s zero possibility of overlap.
Maybe in theory you could try to unlock “full self-driving” but that’s seems to be a different firmware for updates.
It’s very cool that they were able to break into the car, I can’t see this being practically usable though.
