Exploding dye to combat Supercharger cable theft a trial run or the future of charger security? Tesla’s experimenting with DyeDefender, a dye-filled sleeve that detonates on attempted cable cutting. Intriguing, but is it a sustainable solution long-term? Will it deter thieves or just create a bigger mess? More importantly, how does this impact us, the owners? Will we see price hikes to cover these security measures? What other anti-theft solutions should Tesla explore? Let’s discuss the pros, cons, and potential unintended consequences. Personally, I predict a move towards more robust, integrated security systems within the chargers themselves. Thoughts?
