I drove 3 different cars over 39 years that had a manual transmission. Now i drive a 22 accord. No stick shift available.

Heh, I am a 59 Year Old man, and I have only owned, or used, a manual transmission only. I refer to the manual transmission a "Passive Anti-Theft Device". My current car is a 1999 Toyota Corolla, I bought it new, and I payed the dealer in CA$H, and got a {heck} of a discount!

I am ALSO 59 and have only driven manual trans cars and trucks since 1991. They are too fun to drive to ever drive an automatic again. My current car is a 2012 Ford Focus, and without the auto trans issues its been a fantastic car and a lot of fun to drive. I agree on the anti-theft aspect of it. Heck, most of them can't even spell "manual."

I guess there is no Tesla supercharging network in the African countries where these stolen vehicles end up.

The new way to steal a car is to put a radio receiver near the house and get the radio code to run the car. Venders are selling what they call Faraday boxes witch keep the radio waves from reaching thieves receivers.

Plus once they break into a Tesla, how do they start it?

I had an 84 Ford Escort that I could park anywhere, it was absolutely glued to the pavement. What thief would be caught dead driving an Escort? Thieves apparently feel the same way about electric cars and many overseas buyers see electric cars as what they are, a mistake. An over priced impractical nerdmoble. The low resale value of electric cars reveals their true value. Electric cars are disposable unrecyclable cars with hazardous waste batteries which will turn scrapyards into toxic waste dumps.

Most of the cars on your list are too expensive, I won’t buy them. I’m kinda surprised at the slight difference in some models that thieves are less interested in. I’ve had two cars stolen one was a corvair the other a Ford F-250 pickup truck. There was a car theft ring that stole just pickup trucks and they partially stripped it Both batteries were taken and a tuner they didn’t get the wheels and tires 8 lug nuts on each wheel, I’m guessing they were interrupted. Either way I got it back. The corvair never saw it again.

Unfortunately for Tesla, this "anti-theft" pro does not outweigh all the cons I have of renting one.

If you'd be financially smart you would take in consideration the reliability and the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) statistics.
