Someone posted this is another thread, but there was never an in depth analysis. How does this work?
Tesla is working on a new software update to help prevent theft after spike in stolen Teslas in Europe
Firstly, how can the laptop "relay" the key fob signal if is out of range? Secondly, if it does somehow relay a legitimate signal, how can Tesla possibly address this via software?
Also, removing the SIM quickly is not trivial. Even a professional would take over 1 hour to remove the dash and MCU to remove the SIM. I am skeptical that these car thieves were able to do this.
