[CMc1]

No known rollout as of yet (TeslaFi/TeslaScope etc) but this article references 2020.48 will fix the confirmed Model X relay security attack:

Two weaknesses exposed

“To summarize, we can steal a Tesla Model X vehicle by first approaching a victim key fob within about 5 meters to wake up the key fob. Afterwards we can send our own software to the key fob in order to gain full control over it. This process takes 1.5 minutes but can be easily performed over a range of more than 30 meters. After compromising the key fob, we can obtain valid commands that will allow unlocking the target vehicle. After approaching the vehicle and unlocking it we can access the diagnostic connector inside the vehicle. By connecting to the diagnostic connector, we can pair a modified key fob to the car. The newly paired key fob allows us to then start the car and drive off. By exploiting these two weaknesses in the Tesla Model X keyless entry system we are thus able to steal the car in a few minutes”, says Dr. Benedikt Gierlichs, researcher at COSIC.

The proof of concept attack was realized using a self-made device (see the video) built from inexpensive equipment: a Raspberry Pi computer ($35) with a CAN shield ($30), a modified key fob and ECU from a salvage vehicle ($100 on eBay) and a LiPo battery ($30).

The Belgian researchers first informed Tesla of the identified issues on the 17th of August 2020. Tesla confirmed the vulnerabilities, awarded their findings with a bug bounty and started working on security updates. As part of the 2020.48 over-the-air software update, that is now being rolled out, a firmware update will be pushed to the key fob.

Week 48 is this week so expect to see limited rollout

This in 2020.48 could be very nice indeed:

If it is, I’m guessing it will need premium connectivity or wifi

That'll be the internal camera to see whose knickers they were....

Imagine the possibilities if it was 2 way with voice!

Heavens no! It's bad enough with people yacking away on phones and not payign attention ..

Heavens no! It's bad enough with people yacking away on phones and not payign attention .. until FSD actually works the thought of all you ladies having to tidy up your make-up and pick the cabbage out of your teeth....."Oh, look at the shoes I bought"

Oh Lord... not dogging mode

2020.48.5 in the wild in early stage but significant numbers across whole range of vehicles and regions including UK.

Software version 2020.48.5 was just detected on a Tesla Model Y Long Range in Massachusetts United States. The highest previous version was 2020.44.25. Follow the 2020.48.5 release at TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker

 

[MrBadger]

5G on some new cars looks to be the interesting one.

green on Twitter: "2020.48.5 is rolling out. Junction mode for improved navigation, but only for China now. Needs new maps. In Canada running a red light/stop sign warning on hw2.x Blinking taillight on strong braking on model 3/Y in China. Text messages improvements. https://t.co/iD7E6sJvpA" / Twitter

Release notes here 2020.48.5 Official Tesla Release Notes - Tesla Software Updates (notateslaapp.com)

Basically
Text mode improvements - group by sender, steering button override
Trax v0.2
Sentry mode improvements - looks like last event can now be saved internally
Unlatch a charge cable from button inside charge port - Model S and X only - recent only?

Some nice looking visualisations for China. An indication of what v11 may bring?

2020.48.5 now installed over here on M3LR. But can't get out to try it as trapped in Zoom meetings all morning!

Sentry mode improvements - looks like last event can now be saved internally

I'm assuming this is a pre-cursor to being able to stream live sentry events to the phone app. I think streaming from an external drive would be a step too far.

 

[m3gt2]

Wonder how long it'll be before we get the updated maps with photos of junctions? Also would be interesting if they were done by third party or if they use images from the fleet cameras?

 

[Tony Hoyle]

From the previews they're not photos, just drawings.

Presumably a set of half a dozen standard drawings the same as tomtom did it years ago. Hopefully better than that implementation though (it would pick the wrong one half the time and be more confusing than helpful).

 

[Columbo]

The charge port unlock button is interesting, shame the M3 hasn't something similar. This would help a great deal with non Tesla chargers.

My take is that it prevents anyone from nicking the drive with their ugly mug on it. Only latest 2021 cars have any form of security for the media drives so it will benefit the cars that can have sentry but not stored in a secure place.

48.5 just dropped in here (2018 S)... need and excuse for a drive tomorrow

 

[MrBadger]

Unlatch a charge cable from button inside charge port - Model S and X only - recent only?

The charge port button seems to be a long standing, little noticed feature on Model S and X - at least in US. Some seemed to previously think it was a bump stop. So hopefully similar on UK cars.

I don't understand why they can't implement simple logic here? If the car is unlocked and it has stopped charging, unlock the charge port. If the charge needs to resume or the car locks, then lock the charge port. Other cars do this but maybe I'm not thinking of a scenario where this doesn't work well?

I noted that this occurring back in August in the 2020.32 thread for v2020.28 but looks like it’s been removed since. (Maybe was a bug- that was actually useful).

If the power source is stopped and “charging stopped” is showing on screen, the car unlocks the type two after about 10 seconds of car door being open. Just confirmed on 2020.28.(but I’ve only got 2020.28, so must have been there on 2020.24 as it’s occurred a few times)
