You're glossing over the insurance replacement like it's free. It's not. Your replacement Tesla was paid for by everyone else's premiums. The more Teslas that get stolen, the more each Tesla will cost to insure.
I think you’re missing the other piece of the parent’s reply — the fact that Teslas are always tracked, making them easy to find, makes it easier for insurance companies (and cops) to find thieves, and makes theft much less appealing.
Aren't they tracked the whole car, not the parts? Say, the thieves would just scrap then abandon the rest somewhere else.
You can’t just cut a catalytic converter off a Tesla.
Haha. Very punny
Multiple exploits can be used together to greater effect, if they exist.
