I don't see that they told him anything, they just asked.

They remotely disabled the port, that isn't asking.

They remotely disabled the port? I can't see anything in the article to suggest that…where did you read this?

To clarify, they disabled it for everyone in a software update[1]. Some comments made it appear they just disabled it for this guy due to his hacking, but it was for everyone.

They shouldn't even know that he plugged anything into the ethernet port, let alone have a problem with that and ask him to stop... It's his car!

He could have disconnected the car from the internet before he started fiddling around if he wanted to hide his activities. The car makes no secret of the fact that it's always connected.

He didn't want to hide his activities, and shouldn't have to. They shouldn't be able to watch.
