How long before Elon blocks them from doing this

These guys are mostly doing salvaged cars which Tesla doesn't support anyway. They disable DC charging entirely.

It's completely legal and fair to then modify your own vehicle, which is no longer using Tesla services, to re-enable that functionality and maybe even improve it.

they are selling mod packs for normal cars, rich rebuilds has a video on them as well

its legal for you to repair a car, does not stop elon killing supercharging if he finds out

You will also than have zero chance of getting Tesla to fix anything on the car, and probably even a hard time sourcing OEM parts.

If your car is out of warranty, and you are confident you can access a decent third party garage than rooting the cars software would be a fine game - even the £5K (or how ever much it costs now) FSD feature is just a software switch.

Given the fact our not even 3 year old car goes back to Tesla every quarter for something else to be fixed, giving up official OEM support (even out of warranty) is a big gamble currently in the UK. You could easily end up a 2ton brick on your driveway.
