I'm pretty sure with the fact that Tesla can remote control their robots in 90% of circumstances that we have the same effect with Tesla is being remotely driven and they're just not admitting to it either.
So the link I posted was about proving Waymo truly can remote control them if needed even though they deny it, but I would be pretty surprised if Tesla said it wasn't possible, because their car has the "summon" feature and literally any owner can remotely drive their car with a forward/back button. So regardless of if they do or don't, they clearly can.
Again, others have said that they don't keep it a secret that their card can be remote driven. Apparently when you ride in them they give you a button to all for help specifically to be driven. Tesla I'm positive do this, but they are going to hide it all day long.
