>Let's say someone does modify the code.

Let's not. These farmers don't want to change the software. They only want to fix their hardware.

And because of the close tightness with the software, they can't.

Do you think I can pull the electric motor from my Model S to replace it?

When John Deere does this, HN is up in arms. When Tesla does it, it's part of an "innovative business model".

As someone in the car repair industry I can assure you that Teslas hostility regarding non-authorised-repair is a big issue and will only blow up when Teslas become more common. At least here in Europe, this won't fly.

I think if you had the part and replaced it, your car would turn on without a Tesla engineer recertifying it.
