The Ministry of State Security, same guys suspected to have sponsored the recent
US patient data hack( BBC News - Community Health Systems data hack hits 4.5 million ) ,
should not have a problem renewing its ranks with these guys around:

All of the things described are available via the app, so assuming this isn't a social hack, perhaps they've found a hole in the API.

Wow, incredibly lame and boring. I was expecting so much more from the title of the article. Excerpt:

Reportedly, the hackers were able to take control of the vehicle’s operating system letting them honk the horn, unlock the doors and flash the headlights, even whilst the Model S was moving. - See more at: Hackers gain access to Tesla Model S | Next Green Car

Seriously hope the "hackers" didn't win the prize money.

Old news. That was dated from July (and thoroughly discussed / dismissed on the forum shortly thereafter).
