'Thieves Taking Notes': Tesla Jailbreak Exposes Trick To Get Inside Locked Glovebox
Briefly

In an era dominated by advanced technology, simplicity sometimes prevails. Original Dr. Auto, a TikTok creator, demonstrated how to 'jailbreak' a Tesla's glove box security using a basic tool. By physically accessing a hidden release behind the dashboard, he bypassed the digital PIN system designed for privacy. This incident highlights how some security measures can be side-stepped without complex software hacking. Dr. A's work underlines the contrast between high-tech vehicles and the efficacy of straightforward, traditional methods to unlock functionality.
