The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are the least stolen vehicles in America. That’s delberate design at work again, they’re extremely difficult cars to steal. Every movement of a potential thief is captured automatically by 8 or more cameras. There are no keys, the car operates via your phone or a key card. You can set a PIN to use to begin driving too, so if somebody steals your phone or card they need to know a PIN to drive. The PIN pad shifts its position on the screen every time it appears so a thief can’t use fingerprint marks to figure out the PIN. An internal camera can capture the identity and activity of the thief. If the car is stolen its location can be tracked at every moment and various controls like speed limit can be accessed by the owner remotely. The owner can open the boot or front bonnet, blast the horn and do a range of things to make the thief give up.
