Verge reported there are signs the video may be fix and Tesla posted to confirm that it was indeed fake.

Tesla's reply: "This is fake – that’s not our screen. Tesla does NOT disable vehicles remotely."

Normally I would care that it's a fake story but in this case I don't mind spreading it. That guy needs to pay for what he has done to our country.

The reason to care is that when Tesla does pull shenanigans with their cars, now everyone's going to just call it "fake news". This incident has just bought them all the cover in the world to be assholes.
