IIRC, Massachusetts passed a right-to-repair law a few years ago. Based upon the text of the law, all new cars purchased there have the spying disabled because they did not want to give up their proprietary info.

There have been a lot of court cases about that law by the manufacturers, so I do not know the status at this point.

So I wonder if that is still the case. If it is and an out of state person buys new there, will that "spying" remain disabled when they bring the car home ?

Theoretically, that should be a catch-22, right?

How would they know you're no longer in Massachusetts, without the spying enabled while within Massachusetts?
