    Wdym by “backdoor into all Teslas”

    • This could mean “taking an industry standard sorfware update feature and making it abusively aggressive to or push malware to end users”
    • it could mean “grants tesla 25-75% of the car’s controls from the internet”
    • it could mean the former AND “grants access to diagnostics, settings and controls the consumer cannot access themselves”
    • it could also mean “can run arbitrary code on your tesla at any time with little or no notice”

      What I know from publicly-confirmed information: Tesla (hence Musk) have access to the camera feeds, GPS location, remote unlock, remote control of the driving at least sufficient to back the car out of a parking stall to facilitate repossession, and, of course, remote software update. The latter could provide full remote access to everything through new software.
