A 19-year-old computer wiz claims he remotely hacked into more than 25 Teslas in 13 countries.

David Colombo, who describes himself as an “information technology specialist,” says Tesla has a software flaw that allows him to unlock doors, start the cars without keys and disable their security systems.

In a tweet posted Tuesday, Colombo says he’s information Tesla officials of the issue and the company is “taking action now.”
