How is this an RCE? The only way I can think of exploiting this is having access to the code. You can "exploit" JSON.parse with the same methodology. Perhaps if someone was using a serializer that uses eval but that shouldn't be a vuln in jsonwebtoken but in the library that passes user input into eval.

Not true, Texas wind. 75k EV miles already. To clarify, you can choose your energy source (at least choose who gets the money for your consumption).

Some people are so cynical of information that doesn't fit their beliefs they end up spreading lies.

> As taxpayers are only 15 percent

Only because they are very successfully at monetizing their content which was originally bootstrapped by tax and donations. After this exclusive deal that percentage may drop further.

They did this with the 40kwh option when they first offered the S. They didn't produce this battery and shipped a 60kwh battery that was software limited to 40kwh. I had a 40 on order and was delighted by this. I got the speed of a 60 for free and also not charging your battery to capacity can increase it's longevity. Plus, this gave me or future owners the option to unlock if they wished (I never did).

I think this is fair for when they transition to larger packs. You will get upset customers if you introduce a larger pack right after they bought the smaller. This gives customers the option to upgrade in that transition period.

Also, I noticed a comment:

"Are they hoping some people are going to buy the upgrade when they’re about to out of juice".

It doesn't work like that, you pay to unlock the extra capacity which needs to be charged. When your battery is depleted it won't matter.

"username or password incorrect" does not imply that the username was correct or incorrect. The system is saying one or both fields are incorrect.
