I think it's good to separate the drivetrain from the infotainment in these discussions. Hacking the infotainment is a world of difference in a tesla where you have basically software impacting driving a lot; the tesla doesn't deliver all the power, it's too much. There have been people who have gotten service mode access and disabled traction control etc, many wrecks resulted from spinouts.

On the other hand, the infotainment can be rebooted even while driving. The drive train is much more protected and controlled, for a reason.
