Greatest risk would be what I’m about to do.
Leaving Discount Tire - Leaf doubles in value
It will not be on the ground but rather psychologically for our minds. Our thoughts determine our lives

Leaving Discount Tire - Leaf doubles in value
I mean besides having more comfortable seats I am confused about why people choose Leaf over Bolt? That said, even the Leaf is great for cheap, quiet, reliable, around-town and short-drive transportation and can deliver immense cost savings over its lifespan.
Actually A couple of car thieves in England stole a Tesla with basic tools. I wouldn't put your Teslas security on such a high pedestal.
- Signal bypass: The car is tricked into thinking the owner is nearby, causing it to unlock and allow the thieves to start the car and drive away in seconds.
- Modern vulnerabilities: This attack works even on newer Teslas equipped with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, which was initially thought to be resistant to relay attacks. Cybersecurity researchers confirmed in 2024 and 2025 that the UWB signal does not include distance checks that prevent this type of theft.
Tesla stolen with cheap radio hack
@97prizm
According to statistics Tesla's are among the least stolen in the USA. That might transpire to lower resale of BEVs in general. BEVs arent in demand for the stolen market brokers and at the present time the question would be why steal one to a thief.
I think the media has it wrong, by calling BEVs the most secure. They are saying that do to the lack of theft ignoring the fact no one wants a stolen BEV at the present time. More lucrative going mainstream with the 98% of gasoline vehicles on the road vs 2%.
It doesn't matter to me, I could care less if the car I own is stolen a lot or not. 5 decades of driving I am still waiting ...

However calling them a "tough nut to crack" is typical media know nothingness about any subject from a person who writes daily stories with no knowledge of what they are writing about.
However after the "click baiting" at least this writer goes on to say
"Car theft has been steadily on the rise for the past years, but one trend has been consistent: thieves avoid electric vehicles like the plague. While nobody bothered to ask them why, we can only speculate that it has to be an objective reason other than "range is small, charging takes too long, battery bad."
Well I will throw my two cents in that I typed at the start of this post as to why.

Back to the OP.
My wife is stupid smart. I mean, it's ridiculous. The spelling in the south and I guess most the of country in horrendous. She reads publications and on the fly, points out misspelled words from all sources of media... just off the top of her head. Heck it can be the President of our country talking and point out mis quotes.
I only say that for this background. Just yesterday she did her monthly company security 30 minute video phishing etc test. THEY like a lot of companies are CRAZY about this. Companies in her industry, some quite large, were held hostage to payouts in the 100,000s of dollars to get their network unlocked. Anyway she was forced to retake it. Some questions are tricky and almost seems sometimes there are two answers and sometimes there are. Not to long ago I used to take these tests at a back where I worked.
However to my surprise the one she got wrong was this. I dont know what she was thinking to answer wrong but sometimes that is how our mind works and I suspect moving forward AI will be very efficient figuring that out.
It was a social media post on Facebook from a employee and an official company Facebook page in her industry, promoting how excited they to be in their new building, video etc the whole works.. the test question was - Is it safe to share this? With the typical Facebook Share link. Keep in mind now if you click no and the correct answer is yes, you get an "X" for the wrong answer.
Anyway, she clicked "Yes" BAM! NOPE! So just that one mistake and one other, she had to redo the test again. They dont tell you until later which one you got wrong, once she passed she still got that one wrong.

The way I look at it NO social media is safe to share on a corporate network no matter how "official" the person or account is. Go check out the video about how four separate guys were able to fool Apples own password reset security and get access to multiple celebrities private pictures and video. Then to top it off several celebrities passwords were literally a song they created, their birthday or their dogs name all which was published publicly.
The company I work for sent out a notice last week the ALL social media apps and any other app that is not in the official company app store will be removed from all company owned devices.
I dont think anyone would disagree with that statement. Her business is promotional advertising. It's a minefield and that her company so far has avoided any interruptions is amazing. Most likely whatever they are doing they are doing well.
All day long, literally any minute of the day attachments and files are being opened on work orders, invoicing and artwork from around the world.
I never cared much to know the intricacies of how their remote network functions work. Corporate headquarters is in another state. Her work station in our home is connected to her company VPN. I dont know how they avoid issues with all the attachments being sent and received. But whatever they do I know their paranoia works to their advantage. I could say a name right now (but I wont) that everyone here would know the company instantly without even thinking about it, who's entire business was put on hold because they got locked down until ransom was paid.
I do find it fascinating, though I am sure those in the know of this forum most likely think this is just standard stuff and I am sure it is, the fascinating part for me is simply I dont know how its done and ... well ... not interested enough I guess.
This is just a general article about the industry.

Sometimes, horrifyingly, it's neither as hard nor as technical as you think:
A client of mine - a charitable community organization - had one of their staff, a young lady, barely 20, fall victim to a gift card scam. The incoming email was spoofed as [the name of the head honcho]@[their domain name] (which I administer; at least the real one!) and despite that they worked in the same office, went along with it and blew $2k of the charity's money on the scam.
