Teslas are at or very near the bottom of often stolen car lists, by a wide margin.
Now hear me out, do you think that might have something to do with their market share relative to ALL other cars on the road?
When a KIA gets stolen, the owner will likely get it back, although probably a lot more worse for wear.
Thieves using relay attacks are most likely part of, or connected to, professional auto theft groups e.g. chop shops, overseas car markets, etc.
No, because they normalize and have a relative metric.
The most stolen car is an SRT hellcat, which has a total production run well under Model 3 production in a single quarter.
So? It's not quite the point here, but it seems that even thieves got some taste.
