The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Hacking group demonstrates Teslas can be unlocked remotely by relaying bluetooth from phone” – below is their description.

Tesla owners have been warned that criminals can remotely unlock and steal their cars after hackers exposed a security flaw in the smartphone app which opens the doors.

Model 3 and Model Y vehicles are at risk from a vulnerability in the technology, which is powered by Bluetooth, which allows thieves to unlock a Tesla from 25 metres away.

Teslas are only supposed to unlock if the owner’s mobile phone is within one metre of the vehicle, according to the carmaker.
