The night before Tuesday was stolen another Tesla, this time in Löddeköpinge in Skåne. Earlier in August, five cars were stolen, in Laholm, Halmstad Ljungby and Västra Frölunda.

Now the police in consultation with Alarmtjänst goes out on social media with tips on some things you can do to at least make it a little more responsive for the thief to drive away with your car. These are functions that are already in the car, but which you have to switch on or off yourself.

  • Activate pin to drive - you have to enter a code to start the car
  • Disable passive entry - you have to press the key to open the car
  • Disable "auto-present handles setting is turned on" and set it "off" - then the door handle is not folded out / the door does not open automatically (applies to some models)
