Hacker received information about a new product Tesla - P100D

This is not about a new electric car, but, most likely, about a better battery for it.

Now Tesla Model S comes with Li-Ion 70, 85 and 90 kW⋅h batteries. Maybe. Soon more advanced batteries will appear. This was not told by representatives of Tesla, but a third-party person for the company. This is Jason Hughes, an information security specialist who has studied the new Tesla firmware. Now he claims that there are a lot of interesting things there, including references to a new product of the company.

The craftsman himself considers himself a “hacker in a white hat” (that is, someone who tests networks and computers, examining their performance and determining their vulnerabilities for hacking). Hacker claims to have studied Tesla 7.1 firmware. He does not tell about everything that he found, believing that Ilon Musk should speak about new products. But some things still decided to show.

TheSHA256 hash was studied by other information security specialists, and it turned out that “5fc38436ec295b0049f186651ebba5fd55e8d7b81eb61cbd00d3f1bf18dd9c81” is decoded into “P100D”.



After it became known about decrypting the hash, the hacker posted this picture on Twitter.



He argues that the mention of the P100D appeared in the Tesla firmware 2 months ago. And the graphics was added in 2.13.77. The craftsman also reports the following: “There are other things in the firmware that I am not ready to talk about publicly. About P100D I was also silent for a long time. I will not spoil, telling about all the Tesla surprises. ”

In his twitter account, Jason (if his real name is so) turned to Ilon Mask, saying that they tried to remotely replace the firmware on his Tesla with version 2.12.45.



And he answered:



Probably this almost detective story is far from over.
