Teen hacker claims ability to control 25 Teslas worldwide

David Colombo claimed he can see if a driver is present in the car, turn on the vehicles’ stereo sound systems and flash their headlights.

A 19-year-old security researcher claims to have hacked remotely into more than 25 Tesla cars in 13 countries, saying in a series of tweets that a software flaw allowed him to access the electric vehicle pioneer’s systems.

David Colombo, a self-described information technology specialist, tweeted that the software flaw allows him to unlock doors and windows, start the cars without keys and disable their security systems.
