Researchers have found that Tesla vehicles equipped with ultra-wideband radio, a technology heralded as a solution to 'relay attacks,' remain vulnerable to these types of thefts. A Chinese automotive cybersecurity firm, GoGoByte, demonstrated that a Tesla Model 3 can still be unlocked using a cheap and simple relay attack. This revelation suggests that despite the upgrade to ultra-wideband keyless systems, Teslas can still be stolen with relative ease using a cheap radio hack. The findings emphasize the need for Tesla owners to activate additional security measures such as PIN-to-drive to better protect their vehicles.
This story/research is not really intended to dunk on Tesla's cybersecurity. It is intended as a warning to turn on PIN-to-drive instead of mistaken relying on Tesla's ultra-wideband radio upgrade to protect your car from getting stolen, which it currently will not. https://t.co/YMoRaGO2ai
The latest Tesla Model 3 can still be stolen using a cheap and common radio hack known as a "relay attack." That's despite it using ultra-wideband radio in its keyless entry system, an upgrade widely seen as a fix for relay attacks. Not yet, apparently. https://t.co/MBKILOXng3
