Ah yes, pulling the logs from superchargers which already have to log usage to charge customers, and interacting with the same API every owner has access to via the Tesla app (a similar door unlock capability like OnStar had 20 years ago).
Yeah that’s totally the same as a conspiracy theory requiring uploading one-off software variations to specific owner vehicles in the hope they die without anyone else that interacts with the software update system noticing. Totally the same. Not a batshit conspiracy theory at all because you don’t like the CEO.
Do you ever actually read back what you post?
It’s sad to see the voice of reason getting downvoted (currently +4/-8) while the baseless conspiracy theory is wildly upvoted.
Is Musk a piece of shit? Absolutely. Is he playing a major part in enshittifying the entire country? Also absolutely. But is he using custom software in Teslas in an embarrassingly bad attempt to murder random people he’s likely never even heard of, in a way that would generate incredibly bad press for his company whether it succeeds or fails? Are the people upvoting this fucking serious?
It used to be that every village has an idiot. And everyone in the village knew who that was. They’d talk about whatever they thought and everyone else would ignore them, because they were clearly an idiot. Then came the internet, and these idiots started to find each other. They formed a group of idiots, sharing their idiotic ideas. Everyone else ignored this group because it was clearly filled with idiots.
Then the villagers who weren’t quite that stupid started to see this group of people talking. The group was large enough that they didn’t notice their village idiot in the group. Of course there’s a bunch of them in there, so they must know what they’re talking about, right? So the next level of stupid up the chain joins, and this continues on up until you have a large enough group following these idiotic ideas with no basis in reality, and a faux belief in being right solely because they’re in a large group and no one knows that it was started by the obvious idiots.
These groups merge and meld ideas, occasionally grabbing onto conspiracies that have legitimate roots, usually not. Sometimes they’re right just by sheer chance.
For what it’s worth, the police/media spin about pulling data from the Superchargers was likely a disinformation ruse. The cars are broadcasting telematics over the AT&T cellular modem all the time. I can’t find a source right now but there’s some data in the past about employees being able to SSH into Teslas whenever they want. All these V2C modems on AT&T are also partly why their network is so slow for phones all the time.
Tesla is a more extreme transmitter of data though, others do transmit telematics for when driving events occur and other diagnostic data, but not as extreme as how Teslas transmit camera views when the car is parked, and such.
tl;dr: The capability is there. Whether President Edgelord would do such a thing is up in the air. He has manipulated Starlink before to affect Russia’s invasion into Ukraine, but even for the crazy people, manipulating nameless faceless nation-states versus actively attempting to kill individual humans is a bit of a psychological leap. (Maybe.)
Car yearns to become train.
Car knows trains is optimised transport, even if Phony Stark insists on “self crashing autonomous pods”.
Tesla vehicle experiencing transportation dysphoria?
I have this image in my mind of Elon Musk sitting in one of those arcade driving cabinets and dialing up random Teslas to see what he can do.
You fantasize about Elon?
In a technical sense of the word? I suppose? Do you never imagine something evil some evil person might be doing in secret?
If you’re too lazy to drive your own car… take the damn bus.
Was it someone who is a perceived business threat to Elon?
Lyu, the founder and CEO of artificial intelligence gadget startup Rabbit
Without looking into it any more than that I’m leaning with a “highly possible”.
Is this Mariokart?
