Well it's been a long time since I watched the show so maybe these were bait
cars that the police had installed transmitters in.
I know they can do it through onstage and I have seen where hackers did it
through the cars phone connections so if hackers can do it so can the
manufacturer.

I read some years ago that GM had built this capability into Onstar, and

They are locked by virtue of the fact you would have to hack it to use it. It's

Nothing 'snarky' at all David. Just pointing out that the reason you stated for
not buying a Tesla is pretty pointless in today's age of information exchange.
Which I might add is going to get worse with the new Internet deregulations
being signed into place.

I checked Otmar's blog and saw that his "Wreckla" is not disabled
And he should be able to continue to build his "StretchLa" bus,
But Tesla is not allowing him to purchase any of their spare parts for his car,
So he is limited to buying salvage parts from dismantlers.

This, and the creepy constant monitoring, are the main reasons I will never
buy a Tesla. NEVER.
You don't ever really own your Tesla, you're just
Lawrence,
I think the FAQ you quoted explains pretty well that the Supercharging network
communicates constantly with the car in order to charge:
"Your vehicle and the Superchargers communicate to select the appropriate
charging rate for your car. Supercharging rate may vary due to battery
It seems to me there are plenty of loopholes in which to possibly be able to
use the Tesla super charger system. You need an account to pay so it won't be
stealing. Some hacked software and hardware. Probably from a wrecked Tesla. So
proceed at your own risk.

Yes it is a shame, but it is a good competitive advantage
If they aren't locked then why do I need to hack them to get them to
work? My car doesn't have a cut metal key but an electronic key, I
still consider the Tesla supercharger as being locked, just by an
electronic key.

Here's some totally uninformed speculation. Anyone who knows otherwise,

I'm pretty serious. What is the worst that could happen? One man was charged

So by this logic if I can figure out a "hack" I could take your car
since it doesn't have a sign saying "don't take my car" or "for Lawrence
only"?
I also think I read that the Tesla chargers actually "read" the VIN
number as part of the connection communications. It must have something
If the car talks the the charger it should be able to dictate the flow of

said I never thought of the stealing aspect. The III is
Can it be done in reverse? Almost certainly it can. The super charger
talks over single wire CAN to the car. People have done some captures.
To the best of my knowledge nobody has tried to charge on a super
