A group of researchers from a university in Germany successfully hacked into a Tesla Model 3’s entertainment system, allowing them to use paid features for free.
Tesla, known for its advanced electric cars, has innovative technology, but it can be vulnerable to hacking. The German team used a technique called ‘voltage glitching’ to manipulate the car’s system and trick it into unlocking premium features that usually require payment.
They targeted the car’s processor and made it follow their instructions, bypassing the usual restrictions. This hack let them access features like heated rear seats without paying extra.
