It is an interesting question. A while a go, 2 guys made a presentation at DEFCON with a presentation about their findings on hacking a Tesla Model S.<p>They were able to successfully get root access to the car&#x27;s system (not chroot, real full root access) and with that they were able to fully access to the car&#x27;s API within Tesla OS. They even showed a video about one of the guys driving the car at low speed and the other one remotely accessing to the car&#x27;s Linux shell by SSH and shutting down the whole car while the first guy was riding.<p>The interesting thing is that for higher speeds, for example more than 50 km&#x2F;h, the car seems to override any of the Linux systems and the root access becomes useless, it stops working.<p>In another words, the car is able to decouple itself from the Tesla OS.<p>You can check the presentation from those guys here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;KX_0c9R4Fng?t=39m51s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;KX_0c9R4Fng?t=39m51s</a>
