You can bypass vehicle restrictions. You could potentially then use it for J1772-compatible EVs (like a Chevy Bolt or Nissan Leaf)

Or just for the spirit of actually owning the shit you pay for.

Publicly accessible piece of equipment that could have a pseudo-trusted connection to an internal network (since they're connected to the Tesla Cloud(tm)).

Picturing someone rolling up to a charger outside of a large office building, 'plugging in', exploiting the charger via the communications, then using the charger to pivot inwards.
