As a warning to everyone...
I am not sure if the following is legitimate, but it feels wrong and worth sharing.
I received an email from someone this morning claiming that I wanted to join a Facebook tesla group, and should follow a link and enter my tesla password as log in. (paste from email below).
This feels like a really really bad idea. Surely as soon as you release the username and password anyone can install the app, and then track your car, unlock it start it, and take it!!
Apple get a lot of bad press for hacking, which is actually people cracking or guessing passwords and accessing photo streams, so there is extra authentication added to the process. I would hate for tesla to get the bad publicity, and there is no device authentication used.
Sorry if this is a legitimate email and Facebook group, but it feels like we should be really careful with the username and password!!!!!!!! So that is worth repeating
