My reaction was because if they can change how the brakes work without telling me and without asking me, what else can and will they do to the car. Now we’re starting to see the answer to my question.

Wasn't there a leak several years ago that Tesla employees were sharing videos and pictures taken by the cars without car owners' knowledge of consent? Everything from road rage/accidents to the inside of people's garages.
Oh yes, and they swore they were never going to do it again and it was just some employees who got access and now they don't even store that data anymore so it wouldn't even be possible anymore!
Then...you know, explicitly showing that they full store all of it.
How can I find out if you can change how the brakes work over the internet?
Back in 2015 people were messing with car brakes over the internet. I imagined was far worse now, especially if you have the software update signing key.
It isn’t. I drove a Porsche Taycan (all electric) 2020-23 and have driven a Genesis Electric GV-70 2023-today. Both of them were connected. Neither of them does OTA updates for anything safety-related. They make you bring the car in so you know what’s happening and so they know it worked right.
I agree that doing this in person is safer and better. Do you know if they have fully locked themselves out of OTA or if they choose not to use that capability?
They do updates to things like the maps OTA. So I think it’s just safety. They have lawyers who weren’t their personal divorce attorney though, so: who knows what kind of crazy non-malpractice legal advice they’re getting.
Exactly, if they can remotely make it stop quicker then the other way is 100% possible too.

Because, okay, whatever, he's a bad person, fine.
At the time those videos were recording, he wasn't doing anything weird? Sure, just going to use them for the 'bad people'. Uh huh.

I remember a friend of mine roughly 7 years ago discovered his new car (not a Tesla) had a static public IPv6 address. He has lots of fun with that.
