It's not like it's an iPad or a computer, it's a 15" monitor. Very low motivation to steal it.

How do you know all this technical information?
How do you know it cannot be used as a regular tablet with maybe an android os?

I get what you're saying.
We should all remember that someone breaking into a car LIKELY isn't going to take many things into account that a rational person would.
If they smash your window and attempt to take it, it's not like you "win" because they couldn't sell it....you still have a busted window and a damaged interior.

Ah I see what you are saying. I still think it's extremely unlikely and easy for a thief to verify that it's not an iPad, but sorry for misunderstanding what you meant. I strongly doubt this will be an issue. Plus, I'm going to program my FSD Mod3 to run thieves down like the Terminator anyways, so let them try!

That's exactly that I'm saying.
They don't know that it's useless outside the car or even that it's non removable
You still end up with a broken window

Or do what that April fools video of a model S moving away from a cop trying to give it a parking ticket

No storage built in? No RAM? No built in CPU? All of these are located on Nvidia board. No tablet. (Sorry for double post, this reply came up while I was finding a terminator pic!)
Not really too technical. They wouldn't incur the significant extra costs for the functionality. Idiotic idea as well, since it's the only source of info for driving the car.

I guess there may be a market for a window sticker saying the screen in the car is not removable? and also list that it has no memory, wifi, etc.

You misunderstood my question. I asked you HOW DO YOU KNOW ITS NOT A REGULAR TABLET?
Let me make it easier for you, you know this because you've been reading up on the details of the vehicle. Had you not, you would not know.
Now let me ask you how many crackheads surf the web and read up on future vehicle details and developments? .. let me make it easy on you again, very low amount of crackhead thieves read up on future vehicle details and developments.
To them it looks like a tablet that can be removed.

Maybe we can just cover it with a beach towel? That's what I do with my iPad...
This reminds me of when Iraq invaded Kuwait and the military stole all the monitors and left the CPUs.

Interesting, hadn't noticed that. The original display with the molded and curved pedestal looks a lot more solid and obviously undetachable. Hard to really discern from the blow-up photo of the release candidate, but there appears to be a seam where the display connects to the pedestal, which may give the impression that it is detachable even if it really isn't. I wonder if that's a manufacturing decision or if it serves some functional purpose (e.g., swivel point)?
It's funny, but I can already tell at a glance (at least from the front) between the old prototype and the release candidate. Does the duck bill swoop below the fog lights or above?
Of course you could say the same thing about Audis. I haven't heard about their screens getting ripped off.

I would bet touchscreen. It seems to be elon's solution to everything, unfortunately.

Looking at that Audi picture reminds me that at least the Model 3 won't have any physical radio a potential thief might target.Of course you could say the same thing about Audis. I haven't heard about their screens getting ripped off.

or when now-former New England Patriot murdered some people and when he came home, realized his own security system caught him walking into the house with the murder weapon in his hand.
he proceeded to smash the cameras.
the video footage on the untouched hard drive was key to his conviction, though.
I did notice that, but did not think I knew enough to conjecture. Might be a shark fin antenna. The more car that is in front of them the better they work.

More of the blue release candidate: Tesla Model 3: new blue release candidate spotted testing on the highway
Nothing really new to see except that it's driving at freeway speeds. Is that the black one coming up behind the blue one toward the end of the video?
