In a video shared with WIRED, researchers at the Beijing-based automotive cybersecurity firm GoGoByte demonstrated that they could carry out a relay attack against the latest Tesla Model 3 despite its upgrade to an ultra-wideband keyless entry system, instantly unlocking it with less than a hundred dollars worth of radio equipment. Since the Tesla 3’s keyless entry system also controls the car’s immobilizer feature designed to prevent its theft, that means a radio hacker could start the car and drive it away in seconds—unless the driver has enabled Tesla’s optional, off-by-default PIN-to-drive feature that requires the owner to enter a four-digit code before starting the car.

    I dunno. Have you seen the resale prices on some of those tractors, even when used? I sure want to steal one and hawk it. (I would never actually, just, I get the temptation)

      Even tractors are tracked by the manufacturer these days.

      The high prices for used tractors are only for the old ones in specific nostalgic colours, like Grey Ferguson. Nobody wants a blue Ferguson?
