Musk uses Cybertruck explosion to show Tesla can remotely unlock monitor vehicle

AI summary of the linked article

Elon Musk remotely unlocked the Cybertruck involved in the explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas and provided video from Tesla charging stations it had visited, according to law enforcement. Clark County Police sheriff Kevin McKahill thanked Musk at a press conference, saying the vehicle was locked due to the force of the explosion and that the video was sent directly to police. The article argues that owners do not truly own their Teslas and that the episode shows the company can intervene in vehicles and share private data with law enforcement. It notes that it is unclear whether Musk personally performed these actions or directed Tesla employees to do so.

the remote investigative actions taken by Elon Musk in Wednesday’s Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas are a warning and a reminder that Tesla owners do not actually own their Teslas, and that cars, broadly speaking, are increasingly spying on their owners and the people around them.
