Another way to "hack" without even touching the computer is to fool it's inputs. It only knows the battery charge level because a sensor is telling it. Or piggyback an aftermarket charger. I don't think it has been done because up until a few weeks ago there was no reason to do it. Now there is. Also it wouldn't be as big a market when the cars are brand new but give it awhile when there are off warranty cars. As there are more and more salvage cars there will be a market or if upgrading batteries or motors in the future becomes a thing they will need computers reprogrammed or completely replaced. This will be hot rodding 10 years from now. Make a dual motor from an old single motor, make a high performance rwd version with no traction control as a drift car, make smaller battery lightweight cars for max acceleration. Mainly it will be people and independent shops that want to fix their own cars. Especially Tesla continues to fail in this area.
