    I love that one of the prizes for hacking a Tesla is a Tesla. Like here’s one of the privacy nightmares on wheels that you’ve just demonstrated is full of holes. Enjoy!

    Just to be very clear: Tesla is not as special. A lot of modern cars are incredibly susceptible to being pwned because “car companies” repeatedly demonstrate that they are car companies and not tech companies because they keep making rookie errors when it comes to security.

      Car companies out source to 3rd parties for their car apps. And these 3rd parties just pump things out on aggressive deadlines. A couple former coworkers work(ed?) at one.

      Edit - although, given the amount of in house tech at tesla, I’d expect them to mostly do their own software

      It’s funny to me that every 100 dollar tablet is better than any in car display i have ever seen.

        Shit on Tesla all you want, but the new ones come with a Ryzen processor. Beats any 100 dollar, and any 300 dollar tablet.

      Not that “real” tech companies have a better record when speaking about IT security, tbh…
