Computer hackers are being offered a $10,000 prize if they successfully hack into the electronic brain of the Tesla Model S electric car.

A Model S will be on-hand at the show and the organisers reportedly want to see if any hackers can manipulate either the 17-inch tablet-style central screen that controls all the car's entertainment, climate and navigation equipment, or its digital dashboard.

According to a report from Forbes, the contest does not have the support of Tesla and the organisers haven't made it clear what they will do with the information if anyone successfully hacks the car.

Case: NZXT Phantom PSU: EVGA G2 650w Motherboard: Asus Z97-Pro (Wifi-AC) CPU: 4690K @4.2ghz/1.2V Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Ram: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB 1866mhz GPU: Gigabyte G1 GTX970 Storage: (2x) WD Caviar Blue 1TB, Crucial MX100 256GB SSD, Samsung 840 SSD Wifi: TP Link WDN4800

This is a super low reward for the value of the information. I remember a while back there was a million dollar reward set for anyone that was able to hack and decipher an encrypted phoneline. The value of the prize has to outweigh the value of using the hack or otherwise selling the information
