According to media reports, Tesla cars have topped the list as the least stolen vehicles in the USA.

Tesla's electric cars come with GPS tracking as a standard feature, which combined with the fact that it has been publicised has resulted in very few Teslas being stolen. Reports also suggest, that even if a Tesla car has been stolen, it can be found relatively quickly thanks to the feature.



The result is from a study by Highway Loss Data Institute, called 'Whole Vehicle Theft Loss' which covers over 40 million vehicles with 18,000 theft claims.

As per the study, the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are top two least stolen vehicles in the USA. This is followed by the Volvo XC90, GMC Acadia and the Tesla Model Y completing the top 5.

Reports also state that while Tesla thefts in the USA are rare in the USA, they are comparatively higher in Europe. However, the carmaker is said to have started rolling out extra layers of security to counteract this. These include an "improved cryptography" key fob and an optional "PIN to Drive" feature.

Tesla also put motion sensing cameras all around the car. They're always recording, and it's made known to anyone who comes near a parked car.

Nissan Leaf too is in the list. I think car thieves don't want to put in time and effort breaking into an EV only to find 10% or 20% charge remaining

That's an April Fools day prank.

It is very easy to make people believe impossible things are possible with Tesla, and this includes both the good and the bad.

Like the following thread for example, https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/elect...ow-change.html (Tesla Mechanic calls to say "Sir your tail-lamp is not working, can I come now to change it?")

Tesla is giving 1M$ and a model3 as prize money for hackers who could unlock their cars. This guy who hacked the car with 2$ Pokémon card also deserve this prize.
