Seriously odd story. Some thieves claimed to be members of the “Tesla family”. Someone else got handed the keys to obviously stolen cars and drove it around. And a police chase ended when the battery died. Talk about your range anxiety.

That is pretty strange.

I would think a Tesla would be about the worst car to steal. They are very easily tracked.

It doesn’t appear that any part of their plot (if you could even call it that) was very thought through.

You can’t say that for sure. Just because something was a bad idea, that doesn’t mean a lot of thinking didn’t go into it.

A stolen Tesla is called an “Edison”.

Wow. Nutty. Of course the story is wrong because there are no tesla “dealerships” in Utah. But that’s by far the least wierd thing about this story

What’s more off is that the first story I read about this said the Tesla “sputtered to a stop” because it needed a charge.
