I guess he will be offered a position at Tesla, then. Great way to find a new job.

Of course this is dangerous but the website presents it as if a flaw in Tesla software was abused. This hack is done through TeslaMate which is a third party open source project.

Even so, the fact that he was able to take over the cars means there's a security flaw in the cars themselves.

Not really.
The owners need to give the third party app access to the car if they want to use it.

If you install something on your phone which allows internet to see it and modify things on it, would you blame parent OS or manufacturer for it? You could of course say that they should make sure such apps are not allowed. Manufacturer can try to stop these things but we are now getting into "violation of privacy" debate.
Hence the simplest approach by any hardware/software provider is: "We own what we sell and we assume you know what you do with our product. As soon as you fiddle with it, you own it; not us."
In this case, it is assumed that whosoever is installing TeslaMate knows what it is and what it does. Tesla does not need to baby sit the drivers. That care is a computer with some really sophisticated software in the end. It is prone to all problems any other computer device is. In my opinion, it is stupid to install random stuff on a car since it can kill you and/or others. We install random stuff on VMs to save a, compared to life, useless hard disk but we install anything on cars. Great.
Do I mean Tesla software is bug free? Hell no. Nothing is (awaits jokes like "my code is"). But their software is less risk compared to anything 3rd party simply because I believe Tesla has more resources to test things better.
Rant over.

Honestly it's not an issue only on Teslas. Most new cars have a telematic ECU which is always connected to the LTE network (through an hardwired SIM prepaid by the manifacturer) + an infotainment system that can easiuly be connected to smartphones.
Any new car has attack vectors - usually mitigated by placing the connected components in private CAN buses and the integration of security gateways before any ECU (a security gateway is an external ECU that acts as a firewall filtering any message that is not specifically manageds in the dbc of the protected ECU).
Said protection though is not impassable, so everyone beware. And to compound on it, in the NAFTA (American) market new cares are mandated to have a connected ECU to perform the so called legislative E-Call in case of crash, which calls the emergency number sending the GPS coordinates of the vehicle.

Honestly, as a software developer, I'm underwhelmed by the software loaded into today's cars. My car goes back to 2006, and frankly I dread the day I have no choice but to replace it with something that's got so much stuff that can go wrong...

that's swamp gas as in "methane" ... arising from the festering egos of tech-titans fermenting under layers of over-valued stock-options ... that ...
spontaneously ignites as the horde of symbiotic, sycophantic, tech media-flacks, dazzled by video cards they can't afford, and promises of perks, spew torrents of hype ... which is consumed by a species of pig named "influencers," and, then, regurgitated into the open, expectant, mouths of social-media-wanna-be digerati.
the shimmering, translucent, flames burn all the 1's in the bytes, and they fall, pathetic, null, becoming slightly stinky coprolites in nanoseconds.
don't ask me how i really feel.

My sister told me to begin investing in companies that are working on META because she believes the hype.
I was able to see through it all, however.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Invest with her money and get out as soon as it peaks. Keep the profits and give her portion back.  If enough fools get on, it will go up. And there are a lot of fools out there.

Given the impossibly-high valuations given to start-up companies ... that don't have any non-fungible IP or products ... by VC's ... I can see the temptation.

Fonthill Gifford and Maiden Bradley are both in Wiltshire - they are both just off the A303 which goes past Stonehenge.

I created a data collector and configured it to run for 2 hours. After hour and 30 minutes, I stop it and I see "generating report" and then poof everything is gone. I see a menu item to show latest report and it tells me invalid parameter. Is this the way it works?

I could if there was any etl file in the folder. Surprisingly, there is nothing. At all. It is strange since there was data and UI of perfmon did show "generating report" and then while generating report, looks like everything was deleted.

Move along, obviously there wasn't anything important to report!
