Tesla allows users to setup a 4 digit security code that must be entered to
use drive mode.What's nice if you hope out of the car and back in even the
thought the tesla did not fully shut off you need to re-enter the code so if a
bad guy yanked you out of the car and then tried to drive off they would need
the code entered again. Even with a Tesla card key and enabled phone you must
have the code to enable drive mode.

"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.

I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and
he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had
stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.
