Most new cars do have a constant data connection though, including directly to the main CAN bus, where it has been proven that people can steal your car without a key or even disable it remotely. You shouldn't buy any of those cars either...
Indeed so. And I've said clearly several times that I wouldn't. I'm not actually singling Tesla out (especially not commenting on a story that is about Qualcomm, not Tesla). But Tesla's also not some sort of special exception.
