Hackers could steal a Tesla Model X in minutes, security researchers say - The Washington Post

Case in point: Belgian researchers found they could hack and steal a Tesla Model X SUV in a matter of minutes through a Bluetooth-connected key fob. They said that forced Tesla to push out a fix.
It was the latest security experiment from the COSIC, a research group of Imec and the University of Leuven in Belgium, which had previously found a similar vulnerability with Tesla's Model S luxury sedan, where a key fob was also to blame.
