Sounds like the person who wrote the article didn't do his/her homework... and that David doesn't know some of Tesla's security enhancements.
Whenever a new driver is added to the Tesla app and is given potential control of the car, in this case the 'thief', the app lists the new driver, in this case the 'thief', the new driver, in this case the 'thief' will show up in the 'Security & Drivers' part of the app and the owner of the car will also receive a notification that there is a new driver, in this case the 'thief'. So hopefully the owner will be smart enough to realize that he is being conned and will delete the new driver, in this case the 'thief', and change his password to the account.
