A Tesla owner has recorded thieves stealing his Tesla Model S in the UK, after they hacked the passive entry system of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
The thieves used a tablet to open the door by using the data captured from the passive signal from the owner’s key fob.<\/p>\n
Despite accessing the car easily enough, the two men struggled to detach the charging cable before making off with the car.<\/p>\n
Tesla has recently implemented features to deter theft by passive entry; however, the owner admitted he did not enable the features, Engadget reported.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n First, he left passive entry enabled, which unlocks the car when you approach it with the fob.<\/p>\n Second, the owner did not enable the “PIN to drive” feature, which requires the input of an extra PIN before you can drive the car.<\/p>\n The video that the owner captured of the theft is embedded below.<\/p>\n
