On March 7, a Tesla owner in Vancouver, Canada, successfully unlocked a vehicle other than his and was able to drive out.
A cause for concern for Tesla owners. On March 7, Canadian Rajesh Pandev accidentally borrowed a different car than his. The latter was holding a white Tesla Model 3 and didn’t change his habits before getting into what he thought was his vehicle.
In fact, the man got into his car automatically using the brand’s app, which allowed him to use his smartphone as a key.

It wasn’t until 15 minutes later that Rajesh Pandev realized it wasn’t his Tesla when he discovered a crack in the windshield.
In his misfortune, he decided to film his adventure before contacting the vehicle’s owner, who had apparently also managed to unlock another device. “I think you’re driving the wrong car,” he sent after information gathered Washington Post.
Rajesh Pandev tried to contact Tesla for answers. Before warning the press, he also wanted to protest this dysfunction on social media.
“It’s such an expensive technology. More than 70,000 dollars (around 66,000 euros, editor’s note) are available for this car. We don’t feel safe at the moment,” he said.
