Telsa's Twitter account and website were temporarily hacked as the hackers posted a phone number on the Twitter handle saying that those who called could get a free car.

According to the Verge, a strange tweet popped up on the company's official Twitter account, suggesting the company was no longer in control of what was being posted.

The account name of Telsa was changed to "#RIPPRGANG".

It is likely that the security flaws were a little more widespread because Tesla's website was compromised like Chipotle's and Twitter employees'.
