The mode they're asking Tesla to remove isn't included in production cars. It's a development flag found by an outside hacker. This is giving me bad flashbacks to the Grand Theft Auto Hot Coffee incident where Rockstar got their game rating changed and fines issued for something not accessible in the game

A development flag...that was found in a production car. That it requires developer access to enable is irrelevant, since it was clearly enabled in a production car traversing public streets in the video Musk shared this past weekend.
Given that the whole point of the video was to demo pre-production software, it obviously wasn't a production car. It might have been production hardware, but if it's running pre-production software, it's not a production car.
