They can easily shut it off, lock the doors, drive the car if needed...all through a pc.
They can do that to your gas cars today, too.
Most gas cars don't have a remote internet connection unless you pay for it.
You mean you can't use the Internet connection built in to your car unless you pay for it. It's there whether you're using it or not.
I mean yes, but they also don't connect the service, it's not active or usable by a third party unless you pay for it. At least on most cars this is true. Regardless, the other huge problem is: a Tesla is 100% able to be remotely controlled the day you buy it, AND you can't even disable that capability without destroying the thing's ability to actually function as a car (which you absolutely can on gas cars).
