jeffwTeslas Can Still Be Stolen With a Cheap Radio Hack—Despite New Keyless Tech
NexzAs a Tesla owner I’m probably biased, but I do not fear these attacks at all. Thing is, because a Tesla is so connected to the mothership (and I definitely realise that’s both a good and a bad thing), chances of a thief actually being able to use or sell the vehicle are very slim. Tesla always knows where their cars are, and urning off GPS and LTE ruins 90% of the features in the car. I think thieves know this because I haven’t heard of any Tesla getting stolen and not being retrieved (but n=1).
redcalciumUsed Tesla battery is actually in demand though. Is the exploit is accessible enough, eventually thieves would target it to sell the battery in the used market for electric car conversion kits, solar power storage kits, etc.
Put me on the waiting list, I’d buy a battery that’s been strategically re-located from some rich fucks car to my solar setup.

A fat electrician enjoyer I see
You would have to chop up the whole car to get the battery out
