Hackers steal a Tesla Model S car by intercepting the signal from car’s key fob with a tablet to unlock and start the car.

The car was stolen by capturing its passive entry that used to automatically unlock the car when approached with the key.

Antony Kennedy who lives in Essex had the car only for nine months, the thieves steal the car parked in his driveway and he happens to see the thieves stealing the car through security cameras.

He told Business Insider that, at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, two men stole the Tesla Model S car that cost £45,000 ($58,000) by hacking into car’s key fob with a tablet.
