Tesla updates iPhone app to boost precision tracking and security akin to Apple AirTag tech

[ad_1] Tesla has rolled out a significant update to its iPhone app, introducing ultra-wideband (UWB) support in version 2024.2.3. This enhancement, highlighted by Not a Tesla App, brings a more robust and secure digital key experience compared to Bluetooth technology. UWB's precision tracking enables the car to pinpoint the exact location of the key, minimising the risk of replay spoofing attacks. What are replay spoofing attacks?Replay spoofing attacks involve cybercriminals intercepting secure network communications, then fraudulently delaying or resending them to misdirect receivers. Spoofing entails pretending to be something else to gain trust or access, steal data, or spread malware. Improved Precision and SecurityThe implementation of UWB extends beyond mere security measures. I...

Elon Musk’s controversial Tesla drive breaks laws, has terrifying moment, but police unmoved

[ad_1] When Elon Musk left the Tesla Engineering HQ in Palo Alto on Friday clutching his smartphone and a livestream, he would not have anticipated the controversy it might cause. For 45 minutes, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO drove around the city and demonstrated the capabilities of Tesla's newest Full Self-Driving (FSD) update, FSD v12, thereby breaking several laws of the land in the process. Here's everything that happened during the eventful Musk live stream.Tesla FSD demo: What went downEverything was going fine initially, with Musk's Tesla coursing through roads, corners and roundabouts autonomously with relative ease, but that changed in the 19th minute as the vehicle almost jumped a red light and ran head-on into a busy intersection, causing Musk to intervene. It was a scary moment!...

Elon Musk in talks to set up Tesla factory in India; car prices may start at Rs. 20 lakh

[ad_1] Tesla is in talks with the Indian government to set up a Gigafactory in India with the capacity for manufacturing 500,000 electric vehicles annually.

Tesla Isn’t Having the Epic End to the Year Elon Musk Predicted

[ad_1] Price and production cuts contribute to the CEO squandering his status as world’s richest person. Elon Musk's prediction that Tesla would have an “epic” end of year looks more off base by the day. The ebullient outlook the CEO offered during the carmaker's last earnings call has given way to price and production cuts in China. In the US, Tesla is offering consumers something previously unthinkable: a $3,750 incentive to take delivery of certain vehicles now, rather than wait for the new year. “Tesla increasingly appears to have a demand issue,” Toni Sacconaghi, a Bernstein analyst with the equivalent of a sell rating on the stock, wrote in a report last week. He believes Tesla will need to slash prices further to stimulate demand in China, plus make permanent cuts to the c...

Tesla Teasing a Robotaxi Must Leave Customers Scratching Their Heads

[ad_1] What ever happened to turning cars purchased years ago into autonomous vehicles that would earn owners $30,000 a year? A Tesla event touting one product wouldn't be complete without Elon Musk teasing a next one. While marking the initial delivery of Tesla Semi trucks last week, Musk offered a first, vague glimpse of a product he divulged was in the pipeline back in April: a dedicated robotaxi. There wasn't much to glean from a computer-generated white sheet over a rendering of a vehicle. But looks are the least of what's mysterious about this product for Tesla owners. What ever happened to the cars customers bought years ago being an eventual software update away from becoming robotaxis that would earn them $30,000 in gross profits a year? That was among the claims Musk ...

Tesla Inc. is changing its marketing approach in China as fierce competition from domestic rivals and uneven demand puts its growth plans in the world's biggest electric-car market at risk. The EV pioneer has extended insurance subsidies of as much as 8,000 yuan ($1,100) for new buyers, according to a post on its Weibo account, reinstated a user referral program and even advertised on a local TV shopping channel -- a rare move for a company that's proudly eschewed traditional advertising avenues.  The moves come after Tesla cut prices across its Chinese lineup for the first time in 15 months in October, as it faces a slew of headwinds the...
