You can drive your Tesla using your smartphone app or other devices.
unless if their servers go down, in which case you can't unlock your car

There is an Android app which allows Android users to see the same notifications.
Yea, but philosophically, you shouldn't have to opt in (to opt out) - if I don't want to any part of apple's ecosystem, this forces me to actively opt out.
These feel like welcome changes. Don't think it addresses all the past concerns.

What do you want them to do? Shoot brain waves in to your skull to notify you without any device?
Just keep nerfing it Apple. They made the beeps louder with this new update too. So every time my wife borrows keys, my car, etc it's gonna go nuts. I guess I'm going to have to rip the speaker coils out of all of them at this point.
Apple don't care a jot about privacy. This became clear with the CSAM debacle. That's why I left their ecosystem, and I'm very happy with my new phone running GrapheneOS.

Have any of the AirTag stalking mitigations actually been defeated by hackers? Besides physically removing the speaker. The “an AirTag is traveling with you” alerts haven’t been defeated as far as I can tell. Apple tweaked some of the time periods after launch but the core technical mitigations are the same. I agree the current situation is non-ideal, but it’s not clear to me this is from a lack of sufficient pre-rel…

Perhaps not, but they're meaningless to the >50% of the population that doesn't have a modern enough iPhone as their daily carry phone.

Are airtags still useful for eg. tracking a stolen bike? Or will it now alert the thief within minutes that the bike contains a tracker?

I've said this in other threads, but I'm probably done buying AirTags, because the anti-stalking features, that I assume you're aware of, are so annoying, that I don't want to add any more to my life. When I get in my car with my wife, we both get a notification that an AirTag is following us, because my wife is potentially stalking me with her purse and keys. I can silence this notification for only one day. I can't…
Apple just needs to add shared AirTags to iClould family sharing. I think that’d solve your issue and ~90% of other unwanted stalking alerts. They already allow shared “Find My iDevice” and just need to add AirTags to the mix.
99% of the tracking notifications are given to my family members. It’s hilarious that you can’t “join” a family members tag so it can be shared within the family.
