I'm actually really surprised that something like this surfaces almost 5 years after Model 3's release. Around that time, there was quite a bit of publicity of people being able to steal Model S and X just by being in proximity of the keyfob. It's no secret that Model 3 was using BLE for phone-as-key. If this was a known weakness of BLE, why did it take so long for someone to demonstrate an exploit?
Also worth calling out that despite the exploit for S and X being easier to execute, we never saw any significant amount of thefts.
Not sure I'm concerned enough to use PIN to Drive, although my wife does have PIN enabled on her 2014 S.
