Everyone commenting on this should be aware that Tesla has different generations of keyfob technology. The Model 3 keyfobs for instance make a different tradeoff with convenience versus security, being slightly less convenient and way more secure. The car in the story was a Model S.
- makomk 7y agoThe main problem with the earlier Tesla keyfobs is that they used a known-broken 40-bit encryption scheme that allowed them to simply be cloned by an attacker. I'm not sure what they fixed other than upgrading the crypto to something that wasn'y horribly insecure. That's also the reason they introduced the PIN feature.
