The Tesla Forums

Are Teslas truly undesirable to thieves, or is something else at play? The prevailing theory seems to be that low demand for used Tesla parts makes them less profitable to chop shops. But does this fully explain the low theft rates? Could Tesla's advanced security features, despite known vulnerabilities, be a stronger deterrent than we give them credit for? Perhaps the real reason lies in the demographics of Tesla ownership. Are thieves simply less likely to encounter these vehicles in vulnerable situations? Or maybe there's an unspoken understanding among thieves – a professional courtesy, if you will – to avoid the complexities of Tesla's tech. I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Is this a matter of economics, security, demographics, or something else entirely? What’s the real story here?
