Comment on Discussion: Cybertruck involved in attempted bombing in Las Vegas auto-locked after explosion

Cybertrucks have a lot of problems, but this seemed to be a clearly intentional explosion by somebody.

That aside, can Tesla just unlock any of their vehicles remotely and access all the camera footage on it? That seems like a much bigger problem, especially since Mr. Musk is practically our next president.

Then I wonder why not all Teslas are banned in Europe. Damn. I wish they were. Whenever I see a Tesla, no matter if I’m a pedestrian, cyclist, bus rider or driving a car, I always assume they can do unexpected things. Be it the “drivers” using auto-park features which crashes the “car” through a bush, nearly bumping my (parked) car (that was actually scary to watch), unproven and unfinished security features kicking in or the “car” just breaking down (speeding up uncontrollably, steering wheel breaking off, etc.). All of those are things Tesla’s death machines do, that others don’t. I feel safer in a 20 year old Ford or a VW T1 Bus than I would in a Tesla.

  Whenever i see one I have no choice but to yell out “elon musk is a fucking cunt” at the top of my lungs. And it really sucks because i hate saying that chud’s name and prefer to call him “space karen”

I was trying to figure this out myself, since the article I saw mentioned fireworks. Are there better details somewhere?

can Tesla just unlock any of their vehicles remotely and access all the camera footage on it

Yes, the first one is arguably a service but the second one is a problem

Tesla employees passed around videos taken in car owners’ private garages and other interesting recordings captured by the cameras built in to the company’s vehicles, Reuters reported today. “We could see them doing laundry and really intimate things. We could see their kids,” according to one of nine former employees who told the news agency about the practice.

Can Tesla just unlock any of their vehicles thirdly and access the video

Almost always yes, but it’s the same for any modern car

Tesla allows owners to opt out of online services, in which case the video is stored locally briefly and Tesla cannot see anything from the car or do anything to it

Tesla employees got in trouble years ago for sharing sexy videos from random Tesla car drivers and passengers

So don’t do anything in or near a Tesla you wouldn’t want seen by randoms

If the car has internet connectivity and an app, then the answer to that question is yes, because that’s how the apps work.
And I very much doubt you can find a manufacturer that promises that they definitely don’t ever access that functionality or data for any reason whatsoever.
