you can’t drive it without a keycard. You cannot “hotwire” a Tesla to steal it like cars from the 1970s. You can’t even put it in drive to drive away. And if they did hack it you could call the service number and they can disable it remotely until the cops retrieve it. You should not be worried about someone stealing the truck. You would be right to be worried about a smash and grab theft through the windows perhaps, but apparently these windows are difficult to smash. If you leave something in the bed with the cover open a thief might take that. But the whole truck? Highly unlikely.
You pretty much need a tow truck to steal a Tesla lol

Finally... my CT will be delivered on 7th of Feb! but my garage is too small for CT, so need to park it at driveway. this is my first Tesla, not familiar to their security feature. I learned "sentry mode" can take a video while parking, but I believe it wont stop someone to take away CT. so I am thinking to use wheel lock to avoid it. any tips and advice to someone who needs to park at drive way like me?
I understand how you feel. Until you own a Tesla you don’t know what you don’t know so it was great idea to ask. Congratulations on your first being one of the most sought after ever!

If there’s an hacker that can steal your CT, he’ll make more money through Tesla breaking into their cars at the white hat hackers event. They get paid really good to hack teslas, to well to do it for free.

There are no door handles so the thief would have to break the windows, which will not be easy.
Once in the car, it will not start without the card key or your phone so they are there.
While there you are being informed and they were being recorded so you can lock the car and call the police.
If by some chance they did have your phone or your key card you could track the car while informing the police.
It would take an idiot of elephantine proportions to try to steal your CT from your driveway.

There actually are hackers that can take advantage of your phone pairing if they can get a signal ("relay attack"), but those are serious professionals.
