    1. Because the damage also includes labor and overhead, not just material.
    2. We’re not talking about Tesla specifically.
    3. Even if the stolen cable was left undamaged, who are you gonna sell it to? The company that owns the charging station?

        An electrician isn’t gonna charge a tenner for his time. He’s not your nephew who mows your lawn after school.

          So you’re saying they’re designed with more than a LOTO point and some bolted lugs?

          I mean the other guy is being a dweeb, but his core point seems fair. If it’s a big standard cable manufactured in bulk for a charger, shouldn’t it have less overhead relative to the core component and built to be easier to replace?
