Where do all the keyless car thefts go?

[MikeInWimbledon]

Still a few countries down in south east Africa use RHD too. plenty of vids around of sea containers full of stolen cars.

A third of the world drives RHD. Call it 300 million cars.

My original question was querying the huge volumes of very new luxury keyless sports cars and Rollers disappearing, the sort of things you don't normally see in South Africa and Cyprus: Rollers, Bentley, Ferrari.

Only the poorest third perhaps.?

Richest third, more like.

Tesla have been failing to sell both the S and the X outside of the States for several years now. With EV prices dropping fast, they do have to cut their cloth accordingly.

Out of all of the types of vehicles out there surely EV's (Tesla in particular , no dashboard) should be the cheapest of all to build with the steering wheel any side you want , even in the middle !

But Elon moves in mysterious ways.

Some people say Elon is a shape shifting lizard...

I am currently working in California just outside 'silicone valley' there are a number of TESLA facilities nearby and I work with a few ex TESLA technicians.

They would agree with you Kam . One of the guys has been in conversation with him on a number of occasions , usually when he turns up in the factory (unannounced and at all kinds of times ).

Defiantly an oddball in their eyes, But don't they say that of all with genius ?

Reviving an older thread as a reminder, not another post to start off all the Keyless negativity that will inevitably follow.
If you have Keyless entry, double click the fob and put it in a Faraday pouch or tin overnight.
This Bournemouth couple did neither and lost their C63. Not far away from me either.

Cross fingers that they recover it when the kids stop having their fun by hooning it on neighbouring streets.

It is easy to earn nu money illegitimately but not so easy to spend it legitimately in certain countries. I've seen plenty of high end cars packed in containers with my pi££ stained mattresses destined for Lagos. Strangely the high end cars were always stacked on Toyota Corollas. Seeing a brand new w220 full up with pots and pans (no space unused) stacked on another car was certainly something......
