Not just Model S:

"We have only been able to verify our attack on a Tesla Model S in practice. However, Tesla did not design this system themselves but purchased it from Pektron. ... Pektron also designed keyless entry solutions for manufacturers such as McLaren, Karma and Triumph. ... This leads us to believe that the attack described here also affects the other manufacturers."

It seems odd to make that claim about other companies without actually checking. It could be true, but it also wouldn't surprise me at all if Tesla were cutting corners here in a way that McLaren doesn't for the really obvious reason that they're selling £185k cars, not £70k cars.
