The only list I have - Top 10 most stolen cars in the UK 2021 - see the list
The fiesta is so far in front it's insane, if you combine the different fiesta models.. not sure it's entirely explained by it being common.

didn't read the whole thread but on MCU1 u can root it thru Fakra cable hiding under MCU, no need to mess with harness n such, just pop the tray out.
with root, u can remove P2D/glovebox n program new key without the presence of another key
how i know? cause my car was rooted (ironically by a person from UK) remotely n pins removed, among other cool things.
its a good n bad. i like having vulnerabilities so i can have full control of my car but then u also get theft...

I’m glad Tesla participates in these events to make their systems more secure. Every automaker should do so.

These hackers revealed security vulnerabilities in a Tesla—and won a car
The so-called "white hat" hackers were participating as a team in a security competition, and they won a Tesla Model 3 for their efforts.

From what I’ve read here (and elsewhere) the vulnerability that’s being exploited is only present in MCU1 vehicles.
So, is everyone considering buying a club for their Teslas? I'm just going to get one because there are too many variables and ways that thieves seem to get access to the cars.
Tesla tops list of least stolen vehicles – GPS tracking will do that
All of Tesla’s vehicles have topped the list of least stolen vehicles in the US, thanks to having GPS tracking...

Pin to drive also can prevent thefts.

Here in the UK, whatever tracking ability our Tesla may have is not recognised by our insurance companies. It would have to be endorsed by Thatcham. The insurance underwriters are also deaf to the pin to drive feature.Tesla tops list of least stolen vehicles – GPS tracking will do that

Tesla are entering the age of subscription services for software value adds. It they were to offer a fast response tracking service accessed by a dedicated access number, I would pay. This could be easier to achieve and perhaps more useful than FSD.( contentious
).Of course, I could just subscibe to a Thatcham approved service.

I use Pin to drive just because I don’t want someone to steal my car (regardless of insurance). My insurance provider doesn’t care if I have it either.

Of course! Nothing I said suggested that I do not value (and use ) the PIN and whatever tracker ability the car has.

Not sure what the purpose of resurrecting this thread is, but the fact remains Teslas are incredibly difficult to steal. Far more likely for a Range Rover, Merc or BMW to go walkies.

LV projected 2023 to be 28% higher for car thefts than 2022.
From Sept 2021–2023 they found Lexus at top, rising by 513%, Toyota up 103%, Hyundai up 81% and Kia up 76%
Hyundai’s most stolen model the Tucson (45% of respective manufacturer thefts), Kia’s Sportage (45%). Lexus’s RX at 54% share and their NX at 21%
Toyota’s RAV4 making up 47% of their theft claims. Petrol forecourt thefts also increased 77%
DVLA revealed that 43 Ferraris and 51 Porsche 911s were stolen last year, along with 14 Lamborghinis and 29 Teslas.
The latest trend appears to be CAN injection attack via front bumper headlights. 40% theft recovery rate overall.

That's 29 against 130,000 cars stolen a year. It's too early to do the math but it seems expensive cars have better security out of the gate.. insurance companies can't be looking at that data and classify tesla as a high risk, it's repair costs that let it down.
