Trying to defeat hands on the wheel check with wheel weights is doomed unless its very sophisticated .
Tesla relied on the torque sensor on the steering column to detect if the hands are on the wheel. For a good detection implementation, the software will first calibrate the system initial torque magnitude at start of drive. Then it will sense the increase in torque with the hands on. This sensing could be done by turning the steering wheels clock wise or counter clock wise. The sensing frequency and magnitude could be variable. Human will not be able to give a "constant" torque increase all the time, but a wheel weight would. The presence of a "constant" torque increase is a tell tale sign of the presence of a wheel weight. Hence immediate strike out!
