Cancel valet mode without pin

[Glitch]

I have found the following:


Tesla bug Report:

Severity: Major

Valet Mode can be disabled when rebooting the car using the 2 steeringwheel buttons.


How to reproduce: Enable Valet in your Tesla App.

Go to the car, Valet mode is enabled. Now Reboot the car using the steeringwheel buttons, car restarts: Result Valet Mode Disabled.



Thus meaning that although there is a pincode it has no use as reboot disables Valet mode.


Bug was found in software V8.1 V8.1 (17.11.10)

While that's a disturbing find, if true, you should always give the vendor (Tesla) time to respond to/fix issues related to security of the product. Otherwise we're all at an increased risk of someone using that information to cause harm. Of course if you reported it a while ago and the vendor is not doing anything about it, that's another issue. Anyways...

I tested this on my Model S, 17.17.4, and rebooting did not disable Valet mode. I rebooted the main display, it was still enabled. Then I rebooted the instrument cluster, and it was still enabled.

I just checked on my X, running 17.17.4. Valet mode did NOT disable when rebooting the main display or the instrument cluster. Are you running the latest software, @Glitch ?

Clearly, then, it was just a (wince) @Glitch.
