I cannot image what if Tesla has a similar vulnerability issue, and someone took over all of its vehicles.. Or maybe someone is already able to do that, and just waiting.
Why only mention Tesla when the market for EVs is getting quite broad? How about Hyundai, VW, one of the many Stellantis brands, Lynk, BYD, XPeng, Xiaomi or any of the others?
I think Tesla would still be a different beast given how much 1) they are constantly touted for having the best software on the market and 2) being frequently promoted as being „basically ready for self driving, its just a regulatory issue“.
Companies like VW have had their somewhat embarassing issues in the not so distant past, but nobody I know likes (or valuates their stocks) based on their software capabilities
Owning a Tesla myself, I think the mention is valid since it's the only brand I know of with a decent share of people regularly letting the car drive itself. I am not aware of any other brand being in that same situation
