According to foreign media Electrek, there have been two cases of Tesla Model S theft in Germany recently, which is extremely bizarre.
Two cases of theft occurred in Germany's city of Essen and Düsseldorf. In Essen it was a brand new silver-gray Model S 90D. The theft took place on August 2 and the Model S was driven directly from the owner's own parking space. As of August 18, the owner claimed that the police had not found any clues.
Düsseldorf was a Model S P90D. The owner claimed that the theft occurred on June 11 and the stolen car had not yet been found.

After the theft was reported, the German Tesla Club website received more than 300 messages asking how the vehicle was stolen. This repercussions are caused because these two thefts are very unusual.
Last year, Vancouver, Canada, also had a Model S stolen, but at that time it was because the owner bought a new car key and forgot it in the car. The thieves drove away the car without any technical content. However, ultimately relying on Tesla's App real-time tracking and positioning system, the police successfully found the stolen vehicle.
However, the two cases are different. The key is still in the hands of the owner .
The main point in the forum is that thieves are very likely to crack the owner’s Tesla account and use the mobile app to drive the car away. Because one of the losers admitted that he used a very simple password and usually use the phone App to open the Model S door.
In addition, thieves should also intercept the GPS signal or remove the SIM card, thus blocking the owner's tracking of the vehicle. In this case, the rogue's skills are very skillful, but this is a $ 100,000 worth of vehicles, thieves are certainly prepared.
The Electrek reporter also contacted Tesla about the reason for the theft, but the company’s responsible person did not respond.
