The 19-year-old claimed he can see if a driver is present in the car, turn on the vehicles’ stereo sound systems and flash their headlights.

David Colombo, a 19-year-old self-described information technology specialist, tweeted Tuesday that the software flaw allows him to unlock doors and windows, start the cars without keys and disable their security systems.

The teenager didn’t reveal the exact details of the software vulnerability, but said it wasn’t within Tesla’s software or infrastructure and added that only a small number of Tesla owners globally were affected.
