New "Teslakee" hack gives thieves their own personal key. Martin Herfurt, a security researcher in Austria, quickly noticed something odd about the new feature: Not only did it allow the car to automatically start within 130 seconds of being unlocked with the NFC card, but it also put the car in...

What I wanted: Normal operation when desired Force off mode when making short trips below ERDTT temp. Force on mode when making long trips (further than full charge) but still want SOME heat (ie: ~34°) Well, this is exactly what I've got now. :D I've got 3 resistors I can choose from: a fixed...

I've hacked together a small script to emulate the OnStar's remote start feature. The big advantage this has to what OnStar offers is that this can be configured (via Windows "Scheduled Tasks" feature) to run automatically at a set schedule. Because that was my intended purpose, it...
