PODCAST: THE BIG TESLA HACK, MODEL 3 FRUNK CHANGE, MODEL Y TAILLIGHTS, AND MORE

EV Channels Review

This podcast episode delves into several significant Tesla-related news items. A major focus is the "Big Tesla Hack," where a white-hat hacker gained fleet-wide access three years prior, a vulnerability that has since been patched. The discussion also covers a foiled ransomware attempt on Gigafactory Nevada, thwarted by the FBI and a Tesla employee. Additionally, the episode touches on Tesla's controversial move to patch third-party acceleration boost hacks for the Model 3, a change that has led to user alerts. Minor updates to the Model 3's frunk design and the Model Y's taillights are also briefly mentioned. The hosts express skepticism about the sustainability of the hack-and-patch cycle for performance upgrades.
