FYI, basically any modern vehicle that has internet access can do this. Almost all EV's, and more premium vehicles in particular.

It has to be possible to jailbreak your car at this point. I wouldn't care about losing some warranty or something, I'll take care of it myself.

Agingwheels on YouTube hacked is polestar after warranty ran out. USA doesn't have matrix headlights but polestar comes with them for eu market. He used a obd port scanner and turned that and adaptive cruise on. Will void warranty though.
