Palo Alto - There is currently a trend in the automotive industry that not everyone thinks is great: In the future, extras such as seat heating or laser light will mostly be installed in the vehicle as standard - and can then be activated later using software for a fee ("Functions on Demand" the whole thing is called). This has been around for a long time at the US car manufacturer Tesla : A battery with a certain capacity is installed in the car, but limited to a certain percentage by software- for money there is more energy. This business practice has now called the Canadian company Ingenext on the scene. They “hack” the Teslas and sell the “update” much cheaper than the electric car manufacturer controlled by Elon Musk, as reported by 24auto.de. But Tesla now apparently wants to put a stop to this.

For example, a so-called "Acceleration Boost" is available for Tesla's Model 3 Dual Motor : For 2,000 US dollars (around 1,700 euros), the vehicle gets 50 additional horsepower, which means that the Stromer accelerates from zero to 100 km faster by around half a second / H. * 24auto.de  is part of the Ippen-Digital network
