The sheriff said Tesla CEO Elon Musk helped the investigation by having the truck unlocked after it auto-locked in the blast and giving investigators video of the suspect at charging stations along its route from Colorado to Las Vegas.


What if this hadn’t been purposeful but an accidental blast… and the doors auto-locked someone inside? Do you need Musk’s personal cell number to be able to get out alive? What even is this?

Seriously, how are Tesla’s not widely considered dangerous deathtraps at this point.

    Can Tesla just unlock any of their vehicles thirdly and access the video

    Almost always yes, but it’s the same for any modern car

    Tesla allows owners to opt out of online services, in which case the video is stored locally briefly and Tesla cannot see anything from the car or do anything to it

    Tesla employees got in trouble years ago for sharing sexy videos from random Tesla car drivers and passengers

    So don’t do anything in or near a Tesla you wouldn’t want seen by randoms
