Uh, I guess you are assuming I got this information off a web site or somewhere. When I said I know of e people that got invites, I am talking about one of my neighbors, one friend in Texas, and another in California. Two of them got invites in the last few weeks by email and the 3rd person got a phone call. So apparently the invites are going out.
I think the "3 pass wipe" only applies to mechanical disks to account for mechanical sloppiness. With eMMC, one pass should be enough.
More to not be able to pick up residual magnetism. And if things were encrypted as they should be, it would take one second to kill the key and poof goes the data. Love how the reset doesn't actually reset anything. Love Tesla QA.
Do you know if the memory is encrypted or not?More to not be able to pick up residual magnetism. And if things were encrypted as they should be, it would take one second to kill the key and poof goes the data. Love how the reset doesn't actually reset anything. Love Tesla QA.
Not sure what I would have asked Tysons to do if I'd known of this issue in March when I had this done (I was about the first one they did here in Northern Virginia), but yeah, perhaps delete home address, since that's about all I'd care about. Not that you can't google people....
It has been said many times (in this thread) the reset doesn't do anything. Not going to repeat things that have been stated above. I have no idea why it doesn't but you'd think it would...... If it WAS encrypted, it would be trivial for the reset to actually reset, as you just delete the key and poof. As I said.
We tried doing the factory reset back in March on one of our cars and after 3 or 4 attempts, it still contained all of our information. We were trading in the car and eventually gave up on Factory Reset. We tried removing as much as we could manually but you'd think the Factory Reset would do that. I think it used to work so maybe it was a temporary bug related to whatever firmware the Model 3 had on it at the time.
I really don't believe that the factory reset "doesn't do anything". (That just sounds like the standard whinging of the Tesla bashers.)
it just does
mkfs /dev/mmcblk0p4Huh. Now I'm wondering (as an old Unix geek) if they changed the name of the active user partition along the way) and forgot to change/update what the reset command 'pointed' at. Maybe at V10 or somewhere.... Someone didn't use a label for the user partition?
When you do a factory reset, it "erases" the information but as we know, "erasing" on most file systems just removes pointers to the information. A determined hacker can still read the information if it hasn't been overwritten.
