> 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.
I agree. But driving around in a very expensive car is a great way to signal you have other very expensive things like fancy phones, laptops, watches, etc., that can be quickly disposed of for cash.
> It sounds like an awful suburban strip mall, but not a place where you should be worried about a car jacking.
Violent crimes of all sorts happen in suburban strip malls all the time. Guess it never happened for you. Didn't find any crime maps available for the area. I would expect Tesla to locate stations in good areas based solely on good business sense.
I get that Teslas are interesting cars and their owners like to defend them, but to pretend there are no personal security considerations for Supercharger stations strikes me as irrational.
