Can I disguise my car as a Tesla?
“EVs Still So Unpopular that Car Thieves Won’t Even Steal Them”
Brings up an interesting point - if an EV is stolen or just happens to ‘light up’, will your insurance force you to spend the money you get from them to buy another EV, or will you be able to buy a normal car?
(p.s., I know that Progressive will force you to buy an EV, as it’s a political thing to them)
I've never owned a Tesla but I'd guess they have a bunch of smart features that would make stealing one difficult.
Yes. First question is does the list of most and least stolen correlate with easiest and hardest to steal.
I thought this sounded like a Babylon Bee headline.
But this is an actual story. Amazing
And similarly, do thieves know how to hot wire an electric car?
there’s no way to fence a tesla, I’m sure. not in the civilized world, at least. and they probably don’t have charges in haiti.
lol thought this was the Bee
Take my EV for example......
Please.
[Thank you. Thank you very much, I’ll be here all week....
Try the soy.]
I heard it’s because the Tesla security system is programmed to start a thermal breakdown runaway conflagration if the car is stolen.
There was a car theft ring in Portland that specialized in stealing Teslas (they got busted).
My SIL owns a Tesla, and according to him the anti-theft features on the car are excellent. He can disable the car remotely if it was stolen!
I want a Tesla, but I can’t justify the cost for my use. Still just too expensive for a local beater.
Love the idea of overnight plug in for a days errands.
Maybe soon?
WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO?
Finally a reason to get one!
Guess what happens when you drive into a street flooded with salt water in Florida with an EV? Or in your garage that gets flooded with salt water? EV scooters burn up even quicker.
Eventually they can hack an EV. But no one is doing that because at this moment, an EV is worthless. But that may change in the future.

Can you imagine the claims otherwise?
