It would be stupid to steal a Tesla for anything other than a joy ride and unless you're talking a hostage scenario I don't know what about a Tesla driver suggests they have a large amount of cash on them.
As for the specific place they author was at, it's directly off the interstate and other than the Hobby Lobby there is an Outback Steakhouse and a bank directly by the charger. As well as a Home Depot, a movie theatre, McDonalds, Wendy's, Best Buy and tons of other stuff. It sounds like an awful suburban strip mall, but not a place where you should be worried about a car jacking.
