Teslas DyeDefender Tech Game Changer or Overkill
Teslas new DyeDefender anti-theft system for Supercharger cables has me thinking is this a necessary step or a sign of things to come While cable theft is a real issue, is exploding dye the best solution Imagine the cleanup What happens if it malfunctions and stains a car
This raises some interesting questions. Will the added cost of DyeDefender be passed onto consumers through higher Supercharging rates Could this tech be adapted for home charging setups And what about the environmental impact of the dye itself
Im curious to hear from those in Seattle who have seen this firsthand. Is it as effective as Tesla claims Does it feel like a worthwhile addition, or more of a security theater
Perhaps this is just the beginning. Maybe well see similar systems employed to protect other EV charging networks, or even other vulnerable infrastructure. Could this lead to a future where everything is booby-trapped with exploding dye It’s a fascinating, if slightly unsettling, thought. Lets discuss.
