Articles like this feed on the idea that someone could just swoop in and magically steal your car, but magine how difficult it would be to not get caught when stealing an electric car. There are several uniquely identify components, not to mention the car fully understands it's own location.

It would take a serious criminal organization to get away with the theft and sell it for profit, and at that point you're gonna lose regardless of the type of exploit invoked.

If someone moved my car 200 m away, i would then be forced to go get it. If someone moved my car and parked it where parking wasn't allowed, i pay a fine.
