Tesla is increasingly facing vandalism and theft issues at its Supercharger stations, prompting the company to adopt new security measures. With copper prices rising and government dynamics affecting funding, Tesla's charging infrastructure has become a target for copper thieves. The company plans to introduce tougher casings for cables, which may include dye that explodes if cut, making stolen components traceable. Additionally, engraved wiring indicating ownership may help deter crime, as thieves could face scrutiny if attempting to sell. This comes amidst a broader decline in Tesla's sales and growing concerns about vandalism across the brand's operations.
Tesla is working to deter future crimes against its Supercharger network by implementing new cables and innovative deterrents like dyes and engraved wiring.
Max de Zegher emphasized the importance of the new harder-to-cut casings that would contain dye, which would explode upon tampering.
