hmmm not sure how i feel about this. parents suing Tesla due to a tech removing the speed limiter and 18 year old sone dies in 116mph crash.

yes, if the tech just did this without reason and didnt mention it. sue for sure.

however, it's a tesla. you can update and change everything in the car whilst in the car. it's not like it was tearing the car apart to put a new set of batteries in. or rewiring the whole brain of the car. you could have reset the limiter and if i had a dumbass 18 year old son driving a powerful model S i would be checking that limiter multiple times a day.

also, 116mph crash doesnt seem outlandish considering 98% of cars in the Tesla price range, buyer group, performance category, all have speed limiters around 160+ mph.

No one takes responsibility for their actions anymore. It's always blame someone else. And that attitude is incentivized by our litigious society. Why take responsibility when you can instead sue someone and potentially get a bunch of money that you don't deserve?

100%

Think this chit started when they allowed lawyers to advertise on tv and radio. That's when the ambulance chasers came out of the wood work.

We have some lawyer group advertising " Even if it's your fault call us and we'll get you money ".

I think the "how" part is the most critical. For example, would it be possible to do this in the car while on a test drive?

the fact that the article addresses that the "speed limiter" function came over as an "over the air" update, i am assuming it's just added to the main controls. possibly password protected because why set a limiter if your kid can just shut it off?

Sounds like they are blaming the fire for his death, not hitting two brick walls and a pole at 116.
