In a video shared with WIRED, researchers at the Beijing-based automotive cybersecurity firm GoGoByte demonstrated that they could carry out a relay attack against the latest Tesla Model 3 despite its upgrade to an ultra-wideband keyless entry system, instantly unlocking it with less than a hundred dollars worth of radio equipment. Since the Tesla 3’s keyless entry system also controls the car’s immobilizer feature designed to prevent its theft, that means a radio hacker could start the car and drive it away in seconds—unless the driver has enabled Tesla’s optional, off-by-default PIN-to-drive feature that requires the owner to enter a four-digit code before starting the car.
Car thieves: “You know, I just don’t feel right supporting a company like Tesla by stealing from people who purchased their products.”
Lol. My point is more that Tesla is going into the Prius side of the market.

It’s not about the sales, it’s about the image. No one is bragging about owning a Prius. It’s a smart choice, not a cool choice.
