How is this news to people? Everything you own with a camera, a tracker, a microphone or any kind of input is monitoring you. Someone has access to that data.

I really hate Elon and the first question is reasonable. But the other two are pretty stupid.
All car companies can unlock their cars. They made the locks and keys in the first place. Of course they can make more of them. Also many cars can now be remotely disabled by their manufacturers as an anti-theft tactic. This is perfectly reasonable.
As for why there’s security footage at public charging stations… there’s security cameras everywhere (including gas/petrol stations). Why wouldn’t the same apply to electric charging stations?

Modern cars all have a form of computer inside. So it means it’s hackable and that with the right tools, anyone can control it.
Nothing in this article is surprising.

Same people who said their landlines were getting listened in on by the FBI are the same people willingly lining up to buy Tesla’s and an Elon shirt

No one is going to talk about the fact a half-assed bomb went off in the bed, the car cabin burned to the point the driver was unrecognisable, yet the electrical system was functional to the point it was still communicating with its servers and able to take and action commands remotely.

I know reddit loves to hate Elon, but this isn’t something exclusive to Tesla.

Footage was from the super charging stations just like Walmart or McDonalds would do with any of there franchises and it’s believed it locked from the concussion of the blast or it was locked before the explosion is what I’ve read. Also in your navigation and trips temporally saved in the app. The owner of the truck cold provide that information easily as they was renting it to them through turo and not in the explosion.

It’s not necessarily Elon Musk himself, but Tesla the company probably has this ability. Musk is just a stand-in in the news, much like Washington is a stand-in for the US government. It’s probably not Elon Musk personally.

Every company has some sort of backdoor access to all of their electronics, Any who thinks otherwise is delusional. The real question is why would he just so willingly give this info up?

Remotely unlocking a car is nothing new. You could do that with a 20 year old car that had on star.

Next these people will be “shocked” to learn the bank knows where they have been using their credit cards, or cell provider knowing what towers they connect to.
Or that your vpn provider knows everywhere you navigate to online.
This is not conspiracy crap its just functionality of the world. Internet gives morons too much voice
