Assume the Bad Guys have figured out how to send the brick-yourself code to an arbitrary Zoe. Which do you think is going to happen more often: bricked because you couldn't afford your monthly payment, or bricked until you transfer 100 BTC to the haxx0r?

The fact that Renault is trying to sell a tangible, vendor-locked, remote-privileged/DRM-reliant device is more interesting than the "what if some jerk hacks the protocol?"
