Your probably right, but I’d love to see the data on the successful theft rate of a Tesla car.

  I saw some numbers a while back and it's very, very low. The real theft ends up being people stealing the mirrors since those go for some $$ on ebay and the like. I think would-be car-jackers know stealing a Tesla is pointless. Sure, they could stick it into a shipping container.... but then what? All of the electronics are signed and can be traced, the car as gps and will phone home the moment it leaves the container. Too much work for too little reward.

      We're talking the 12v battery right? Would be pretty impressive if they lifted the car up and got the high voltage pack out.

        Yes, regular starter battery.

      What luck!

      You probably just bought your stolen battery straight back...
