I can't help but feel for this guy having done my own reverse engineering of BMW's i-bus back in the day. You get to the point where you see such possibility if the carmaker would just open up a little damn bit. It's a real shame that automakers feel that every software or hardware integration with their vehichle should be something to monetize. Even the forward thinkers like Tesla are no better on this front.
- hippich 7y agoAnother possible explanation (other than keeping everything in case it can be monetized) is being concerned with mirriad of ways it can bring liability to the company. Perhaps, it is not a practical way to keep such risk away, but I can see how it can be most rational decision by a big company.

They figured it out by putting the android or ios app on wifi and looking at the calls. Then from there they figured out the login token. One thing Tesla hasn't done right, you can't revoke tokens (at least it didn't seem to be possible last I looked).
