Tesla is taking proactive steps to counteract vandalism and theft at its Supercharger stations, which have become targets for thieves seeking copper wiring. The company is trialing anti-theft technologies such as DyeDefender wraps, which release blue dye when cut, making stolen cables less desirable. Tesla’s Max de Zegher confirmed that the cables will also feature engravings to assert ownership, aiming to prevent the acceptance of these materials at recycling centers. This initiative reflects Tesla's ongoing commitment to enhancing the security of its infrastructure amid troubling trends in vandalism.
