The subject line is a bit frivilous, but actually I guess that this is potentially serious.
----- "Security researchers report they uncovered a design flaw that let them hijack a Tesla using a Flipper Zero, a controversial $169 hacking tool ... "Using a Flipper, the researchers set up a WiFi network called 'Tesla Guest,' the name Tesla uses for its guest networks at service centers ... "[The thief] could broadcast the network near a charging station, where a bored driver might be looking for entertainment. The victim connects to the WiFi network and enters their username and password on the fake Tesla website. The [thief] then uses the credentials to log in to the real Tesla app, which triggers a two-factor authentication code. The victim enters that code into the fake website, and the thief gains access to their account. Once you´re logged into the Tesla app, you can set up a "phone key" which lets you unlock and control the car over Bluetooth with a smartphone. From there, the car is yours." Yikes.
