It all depends exactly what the engineer is SSHing into. A bash shell with root access? BAD. A shell with only monitoring and diagnostic tools that are cleared to use while the car is running? Probably not a problem and actually sounds both useful and the right way to do it. I'd love to be able to SSH into my car and get diagnostics.
- tedivm 3y agoAccording to the engineer who leaked that ssh thing (which was years ago) they were live patching and pushing updates to the cars over ssh. It was essentially full root. That said this was also super early in the company history, so this might have been for the roadsters more than the actual commercial cars.

- red-iron-pine 3y agoThey're dropping the price hard. Probably one of the only nice things I'll say about Tesla is they're willing to wade in and compete on price. And that's mostly cuz Toyota or Ford are still charging too much.
