It looks like a science fiction movie, but it’s not. The company is investigating what may be behind this bizarre threat.
We live in a time when It’s hard to keep secrets. To begin with, nowadays we all carry a camera in our pocket at all times, so it is easy for strange situations not to escape and for us to be unwitting protagonists in other people’s films. Our phone knows everything about us: where we are, who we talk to, the photos we save, who we chat with… and, thanks to the connectivity of the latest generation cars, our cars spy on us tooThey even know where we’re going.
The models of Tesla they have become famous for being the first best-selling electric cars and also for their sophisticated technology that allows them to offer one of the most advanced and efficient autonomous driving systems on the market. This is possible thanks to the permanent connection of Tesla models with their environment.
What at first seems like a great advantage turned into a nightmare for Francis Whoremonger from Connecticut ( United States) who ended up getting divorced because of his Tesla Model S after he was blackmailed by his own car and asked for $100,000 in exchange for his silence.
Tesla’s threat to its driver
The infotainment system saves more data than we think.
On the morning of August 28, 2022, everything changed for Mr. Whoremonger. By turning on the ignition in your Tesla Model S everything seemed normal, but on the screen of his multimedia system appeared a message that puzzled him: “I can tell Sally.” At first Francis thought it was one of the “Easter eggs” that are hidden among the functions of his Tesla, but when he accepted that message, a nightmare began that ended his marriage with Sally, his until then wife.
From that moment the Model S began to threaten Francis Whoremonger with sending the recordings made by the cameras to his wife’s phone of her husband’s own Tesla parking at several well-known Connecticut strip clubs and even at two of them picking up several female workers and taking them to a nearby motel.
In exchange for his silence, the Tesla Model S asked Francis to accept a charge of $100,000 for activation of certain services and vehicle software updates.
Whoremonger immediately contacted the technical service of the brand, but from Tesla they did not find (or perhaps they did not want to investigate in depth thinking it was a joke) any indication, trace or anomaly in their vehicle or in the communications from it.
The messages were repeated for 4 days, until finally on September 2, Sally’s phone received via Telegram the videos recorded by the Tesla Model S from her husband.
In barely three months there is already an end to this story, which ends with a divorce in which the videos recorded by his own car have served as incriminating evidence for Mr. Whoremonger, who has had to assume a million-dollar compensation for what is already his ex wife.
Now begins another trial that is sure to be much longer and in which Francis Whoremonger hopes to obtain even greater compensation by accusing Tesla of violating his privacy.
How could the car make such a threat? Tesla is looking into it
Tesla is investigating what happened.
The trial has been one of the most notorious cases in the US and as soon as it became something in the media and, furthermore, it was shown that the car did indeed extort money from its owner, Tesla has opened an investigation to find out what is wrong. what could have actually happened.
The most logical thing is to rule out that the car could have developed its own consciousness to carry out such an act. Initial investigations are focusing on finding the person or persons who may have hacked the encryption system used by Tesla for all the data your vehicles constantly collect.
To this day, everything seems to indicate that the one behind all this has been yourself, that you are INNOCENT.
HAPPY INNOCENT SAINTS DAY!
