The primary example that he might be referring to is this one [1]. It's someone reporting on their experience connecting to an ethernet port in his tesla and getting a call from Tesla to please stop.

- mynameisvlad 11y agoMore like "getting a call from Tesla to stop and then getting the port disabled".
- mikeash 11y agoFun! At least it sounds like they were nice about it.
- michaelmrose 11y agoNice about telling you how you could use the car you purchased from them in what universe is this reasonable.
- mikeash 11y agoI don't see that they told him anything, they just asked.
- zanny 11y agoThey remotely disabled the port, that isn't asking.
- manarth 11y agoThey remotely disabled the port? I can't see anything in the article to suggest that…where did you read this?
- cowsandmilk 11y agoTo clarify, they disabled it for everyone in a software update[1]. Some comments made it appear they just disabled it for this guy due to his hacking, but it was for everyone. [1] https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/691884/ https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/691884/
- jstanley 11y agoThey shouldn't even know that he plugged anything into the ethernet port, let alone have a problem with that and ask him to stop... It's his car!
- mikeash 11y agoHe could have disconnected the car from the internet before he started fiddling around if he wanted to hide his activities. The car makes no secret of the fact that it's always connected.
- jstanley 11y agoHe didn't want to hide his activities, and shouldn't have to. They shouldn't be able to watch.
