A UK Tesla Model S was hacked and stolen in just under three minutes. The car jackers used a tablet to find the distant key fob's signal. Once that got the car open, they struggled trying to unplug the car's charger for about a minute, jumped inside, disabled Tesla's Remote Access system, and drove off into the night. Teslas have been stolen before, but these thieves managed to do it without any social engineering.
Check out security cam footage of the heist here.
This Model S was stolen in Epping, Essex. The key was at the back of the house, but PIN to drive was off and passive entry was enabled. EDIT: According to Tesla, even if the thieves disabled Remote Access, Tesla could still turn it back on and/or track the vehicle. The fact that they are unable to means either the thieves removed the physical SIM (apparently easy to get to) or they used a battery powered device to block Internet access in the vehicle.
