The same researchers who figured out how to clone a Tesla Model S key fob have done it again, cracking the replacement that was meant to fix the problem.

Tesla is no longer including key fobs as standard on the Tesla Model S and X. The cost-cutting move came into effect on July 1.

Weak encryption in Tesla Model S key fobs allowed all-too-easy theft, but you can set a PIN code on your Tesla to protect it.

According to researchers, despite Tesla's code checking and security updating, it's easy to clone a Model S key and drive away with the car.

Tesla's Model S was found to have more key fob security blues, report says A research team at a Belgian university found another vulnerability in Tesla's Pektron-sourced key fobs.

They previously hacked into the key fob of a Passive Keyless Entry and Start (PKES) system of a Tesla Model S, and then devised another attack that was successful on the same model after Tesla ...

Last year, researchers discovered a vulnerability in the Tesla Model S key fob that would've allowed thieves to clone it in just a couple of seconds. The automaker and the key fob's manufacturer ...

KU Leuven researchers have detailed a technique that let them bypass the encryption on Tesla's key fob for the Model S, making it trivial to clone the key, get inside and start the vehicle.
