Exploiting Tesla's Infotainment System to Gain Root Access to Vehicle Systems

Researchers at technical university Berlin, along with a researcher named Oleg Droskin demonstrated that they could exploit the infotainment system on recent Tesla vehicles. They were able to transfer a driver's profile to a different Tesla vehicle using this method. It actually requires some electrical engineering, some soldering. However, if a Tesla owner has the knowledge and skill and about a hundred bucks worth of equipment, they could potentially do the same thing. Bad actors could possibly use the same method to gain access to things like data logs in a Tesla, which could include the owner's private information or otherwise tamper with someone's vehicle. But it would require physical access to the vehicle, but it is possible
