Totally. But that seems to be a fairly solved problem; at least on Apple devices the blue location circle shows the precision of it's measurement fix (and works well).
If the GPS fixes are not accurate then just ignore them for proximity unlock.

I think Apple supplements location information with wifi signals (not positive on this, though)
Not when u switch to uwb instead of blue tooth.It has been well-documented that a stranger can open your car with the wrong key/fob/phone.
In this Vancouver case, the police were also called, so it's not fake!

This thread is not the first case. Tesla has not addressed the issue so don't expect the case to be solved soon.
While waiting for a solution, you can start using the PIN-to-drive. A stranger's key/fob/phone can access your doors but not the glovebox or propulsion system without the correct PIN. Most likely, the stranger's PIN and yours are different. But if both of you use the same Year of Birth like 1970, then that won't help either!
