If a Model 3 had an analogous bug, then everything from the windshield washers to the climate control and rear view mirrors would be borked (I'd guess phone-based unlock would be too, at a minimum.)
Many Priuses integrate parts of the power train into the radio. I suspect they'd have serious issues too.
Of course, what matters is how integrated all this stuff is in a Mazda. That, I don't know.
Priuses can display powertrain data on the screen (such as which engines are operating, whether regen is happening, etc.) but I have never seen anything in the screen on any Prius that actually sends control data to the powertrain.

Actually it's possible to phone-unlock and drive a Model 3 with the screen completely turned off or broken. I've done it.
I’m sorry, they do what now? Why would you even do that?
I could make a VAG car hand brake turn going into a corner all from a computer remotely, just by switching on the ABS braking on the rear wheel on the opposite side to a turn. I could control the throttle remotely as well.
Why are people shocked at the way these global corporations are treating security and privacy?
Its only their lawyers that are protecting them.
