Tesla vehicles are jam-packed with advanced technologies and stringent
security measures, but the cars still aren't 100% safe from crafty thieves
intent on stealing one. To that point, security cam footage uploaded to
YouTube over the weekend shows two thieves stealing a Tesla Model S in
England, albeit with a little bit of difficulty.
The owner, who wrote about the incident via a tweet to Elon Musk, said
that the thieves used a tablet and a phone to grab the signal transmitted
by the Model S's key fob, an attack that is becoming more and more popular
with each passing year. Somewhat comically, the pair of thieves initially
couldn’t figure out how to disengage the car’s charging cable, thus
prolonging what was supposed to be a quick getaway.
It’s worth mentioning that Tesla vehicles have a few extra layers of
theft-protection that this particular Model S owner did not employ. As the
Model S owner conceded in his tweet, he did not turn on the PIN To Drive
