Thieves don’t like to drive EVs

They can't figure out how to open the door

Fully reflected in resale value

Insurance is offset by the high accident replacement costs?

lol whenever people need a ride or anything I’m always like “if you can figure out how to open the door, ill definitely give you a ride”

I've often wondered what methods/techniques would yield a successful break-in without leaving any trace, physical or otherwise, that an incursion had occurred. Aside from a contact-less replay attack, it seems that the choices are few from my layman point of view. Anybody have insights into alternatives?

Neither can my wife

Yeah I'm not surprised, the keycard and bluetooth/phone integration basically means someone would have to steal one of those keys to move the vehicle. The used to say manual transmission cars were the best deterrent, but honestly now its just having an EV!

That yahoo link is bad copy-pasta of the actual report: https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/camaro-zl1-tops-chart-of-most-stolen-vehicles (@Guss , you should update your link to the actual, readable report!)

My insurance on my 2022 MME is more than on my 2023 BMW i4...go figure.

Interesting that on the "most stolen" list, Camaro ZL1 is top and regular Camaro made the cut, but not any Mustang ICE or in fact any Ford vehicle.

As to the "least stolen" list. Lots of Tesla models. I would suggest that's due to Sentry Mode as much as just being an EV. Though it made headlines in my home town when a local celebrity's Tesla got stolen. Maybe the exception that proves the rule.

Or Tesla made the list because those cars suck and nobody wants them?

Yes. And having to carry around a fully charged 12v battery slows the theft.
