> Randev said the other Tesla driver told him he was able to get his number because he had printed out a document, which was in his car and it had his phone number on it.
How did the other Tesla driver get into Randev's car? Did the other Tesla driver's app also have a glitch?
It is indeed possible, but still too convenient. How many people's phones just happen to be visible in documents left in their car? And how could the owner of the driven-off Tesla not only be so confident as to the number visible inside that car belonging to its owner, but was so quickly able to deduce that the reson his own car had disappeared was that the owner of this one that remains parked must have taken the wrong car?
It just seems that the protagonists of this story were not only able to very quickly understand what should be a very confusing situation, but also somehow out of shere luck came across just the right clues and were right in their assumptions without any significant priors.
Much as I like shitting on the failures of IoT-and-adjacent overtechnification, this story raises many alarm bells in my head.
