    It’s an ev so immune to the old theft style. Any Hyundai or Kia with push button start would be immune as well.

    I think also just an immobilizer stops it? I can’t remember the specific thing they didn’t do, but in the US they cheaped out on a security part so that’s why they were easily stolen with literally a usb

            Yeah and those ones are immune to the theft style of removing the ignition barrel and using a USB to start it. Anything push button is immune.

                You do understand that the statement of ‘EVs are immune to this’ is factually accurate though, right? The entire point being that the problem of Hyundais and Kias being extremely stealable won’t effect the car in this post.

                  You do realize that has nothing to do with them being EVs, right? What you said was “It’s an ev so immune to the old theft style”, indicating that they’re “immune” because they’re EVs.

                  It’s like saying turquoise cars are “immune”. Sure, purely out of the fact that turquoise cars don’t exist.
