Tesla's Anti-Theft Measures: Effective or Just for Show?
Tesla is reportedly testing dye packs and metal engraving to combat Supercharger cable theft. Are these measures enough to deter thieves, or are they simply security theater? Will the added cost and complexity be worth the effort? What about the potential for false alarms and accidental dye deployments affecting Tesla owners?
Engraving cables with Property of Tesla relies on the cooperation of scrapyards. How realistically enforceable is this? Will it truly impact the black market for stolen copper? Is this a sustainable long-term solution, or will thieves simply find new ways to circumvent it?
Beyond these measures, what other innovative solutions could Tesla explore? Could technology like GPS tracking or pressure sensors play a role? What about community-based monitoring or incentivizing reporting of suspicious activity? Let's brainstorm and discuss the future of Supercharger security. Perhaps the best ideas will come from the Tesla community itself.
