I'm pretty sure that anything where a car manufacturer puts a limiter on a car like this, you will be able to hack it to take the limiter off.
Probably. Watch them make it illegal to do so though. Then it just becomes a matter of how trackable and enforceable it is.
but then they'd put in DRM, which won't stop the hackers but will flip out on normies trying to use it perfectly legally.

I only know BMWs. Normally it is pretty easy to turn on and off factory options and seat belt chimes and DVD playing and autolocking. You need a bit of pir8ed software and a soldered or ebay cable, but that's all. The question is what will they do in the case of DLC BS to prevent what you can do now.
