The announcement for Flipper Zero was posted here not that long ago. Of course this is what people had in mind for it. :)

Yes really nice to see it having some real-world applications already. I might get one

This is harmless fun right? Like it's not like this will cause damage in anyway or impact security?

Yes, the port will close automatically. It is a bit fragile and vulnerable piece of thin plastic when open, but all in all a harmless prank.

No, but this is a good demonstration of how insecure Teslas are.

You can steal a parked Tesla with a $10 homemade device.

If you can manage to crawl in via the charge port? :)

I bought expensive car, which can be controlled by anyone with a remote control.

This reminds me of living in the suburbs with every wifi device using the same SSID from the manufacturer and me hosting a bunch of stuff at home (MythTV, web servers, etc) and dns pointing to internal ips — these days, I just host it all publicly with authentication). Friends had trouble staying on my WiFi because they would connect to someone else’s wifi nearby. So I wrote a phone app that connected to people’s routers, logged in with factory defaults and changed the wifi SSID to something from a random word list. Then I just went for a walk around the block…

What I find particularly humiliating is that to open the cap you have to issue a voice command, "open butthole". Really off-putting to say that sort of thing. Black mark against Tesla as far as I am concerned.

Is that the only command that works?

You're joking, right? You can basically say "open whatever" and it will open. And additionally there is a button on the screen and in the app and you can press the lid or press the button on the charger.
