Thread: Is this Tesla issue going to be more widespread going forward?

More on the issue from this guy.



Also interesting analysis, from Phil in the video, on how the company's paranoia level is choking itself.

No.

They learned their lesson and no longer use the chip. Tesla reduced logging with an OTA update to prolong life of older MCUs.

I had an old MCU modified for root access. This takes remote control away from Tesla, you can switch off logging, access technician tools and modify/hack to your heart's content. It's a run of the mill Linux PC with a fancy GPU!

It was Phil who helped with the hack, over a year ago.

But still the older MCUs found in the S and X are not fit for purpose. The screen used is not automotive grade. The screen will delaminate and yellow in the sun!

No issues with newer MCUs or Model 3 as far as I'm aware.
