Even better, every car is vulnerable to the "brick through the window" attack, but at least PIN to drive means the car will still be there.

True, I suppose, but it's still a big deal. Walking up to a remotely-unlocked car and getting in then driving away won't incite anyone to call the police.

I am getting tired of journalists throwing "Tesla" in every headline, especially for important consumer information like this. How many people aren't going to read this because they think it doesn't affect their car?
