JFC we really need to turn this societal acceptance of "you don't own the hardware" around.

It's always been legal to sell parts off your car. Do not buy anything that attempts to prevent you from owning what you bought through any sort of user agreement.

My understanding is you can't go to a junkyard and bring a Tesla back to life, cause they own the software. Course wonder if someone determined enough could make it work at minimal like a normal car (no self-driving). Reversing the firmware is probably a bit of effort though (I don't think reversing anything is ever truly impossible).

It's not easy, but you can.
