Tesla had thrown away computers without wiping them which left some customer accounts compromised.
With the Tesla Autopilot computer upgrade and a recently announced MCU2 upgrade on top of regular replacements for performance issues, Tesla changed a lot of computers in its vehicles.
It contained sensitive information, like Google or Spotify usernames and passwords.
These passwords were not encrypted.
