I was at DefCon last year, and there were definitely Flipper Zeros in use - but little joy to be found from them. There was a Tesla Y and a Nissan Leaf - both with company reps there (keeping the hackers from cutting wires or metal).

I would be quite surprised if someone were able to hack in via bluetooth or the public CAN interfaces. Of course, if they could connect to the system critical CAN, then that's a different story.  Unless Tesla is using the secured CAN.

Cheers, Peter

My flipper zero is still en route, so I can't say for sure, but my reading of radio specs 
and capabilities is that anything subject to "attack" by the FZ is badly 
designed or incorrectly implemented.

This is not to say that people don't do questionable things with it, but as a long time 
subscriber to 2600 magazine ("The Hacker Quarterly"), I can tell you the vast 
majority of those things were happening for at least a decade before the FZ came on the 
scene.

It's a common man-in-the-middle attack, and you don't need a Flipper Zero
to do it, any PC, laptop, even a cellphone could do the same. See also:

The subject line is a bit frivilous, but actually I guess that this is

"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.
