Lastly, why is the headline "Tesla car hacked" rather than "Tesla infotainment system hacked"? Not as clickbaity?
Bingo. Same reason the last line of TFS might as well be "We think a lot of other cars use connman and might still be vulnerable but we didn't bother to test any of them because Tesla = clicks".
Yeah, the traffic counter they just bought can't do it, but the new ones they purchase next year will have to, and it's about bloody time.

It's past time for everyone to stop accepting crap that can't be upgraded from vendors that will disappear (or pretend to have never heard of a product you bought from them) in 2-3 years. Amazon and Walmart won't enforce standards, but governments might and they buy enough stuff to move the needle, unlike a few cloud-skeptical nerds choosing not to buy Hue lights or whatever now.
Internet of Things
devices are devices that--
(A) have at least one transducer (sensor or
actuator) for interacting directly with the physical
world, have at least one network interface, and are not
conventional Information Technology devices, such as
smartphones and laptops, for which the identification
and implementation of cybersecurity features is already
well understood; and
(B) can function on their own and are not only able
to function when acting as a component of another
device, such as a processor.
