So genuine question: are the parts like batteries/motors safe and otherwise good enough to be used in ICE conversions? Or is there some kind of software/network boobytrap to be circumvented? The car itself is a horribly flawed surveillance box, but it seems like the flaws I've seen are mostly a sort of problem by compilation, like the finished product is worse than the sum of it's parts. Is there a chance at least that this overproduction could help provide parts for conversion vehicles?
The real question is if those batteries were made by Tesla.
