VIDEO: TESLA'S MODEL X GETS HACKED, BUT IT IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE!

A Chinese security firm is showing Tesla how its Model X can be hacked. Keen Security Lab, a division of Chinese web giant Tencent Holdings, announced that its technicians could remotely open the Tesla Model X's doors and trunk – as seen in the video below. The team also showed that they could remotely control the car's brakes and lights.  The tech company is working with Tesla to fix the vulnerabilities within the Tesla Model X and would not disclose how they hacked it, but they did show a proof of concept video as well as outlining the vulnerabilities that allowed them to remotely break a car while it was driving. 

Security is going to need to evolve along with the technological advances of the auto industry. We advise any owners of Teslas or other autos to keep up with security updates for their automobiles. Have a look at the video to see how Tencent Holdings controlled the Tesla Model X.
