It also doesn't transmit any IR (infrared) signals like the usual remote control key fobs or tracker do, making it difficult to deceive or hack.
The Ghost also comes with the valet-mode, which is activated if you are handing your vehicle to a valet for parking or service. This will turn off the immobiliser on the CAN for 30mph and allow you to use the vehicle as normal with your key fob or mobile app. If the vehicle is parked up again, the Ghost will return to full functionality.

They can then use this fob that was cloned to gain entry to your vehicle. A standard immobiliser for vehicles only prevents the engine from starting only if you have the original key fob, this does not offer enough security and is easy for criminals to alter or jam signals to gain access to the vehicle.
Valet mode
Standard immobilisers that are fitted to your car use an electronic chip that sends an indication. The system will look for the code that was sent by the key to start the car. If the proper signal isn't received, the system will simply cut off and stop the engine from beginning. This is the basic principle behind all immobilisers that are sold on the market and is a crucial security measure to ensure that your vehicle cannot be stolen, even if a burglar has your keys or a device that can enhance the signal of your key fob.

They may only be able to steal your car onto the flatbed truck and that's highly unlikely.
Valet mode is a useful feature that comes with your ghost immobiliser. When activated, the glove box and trunk will be locked, so that anyone stealing your car won't have any personal belongings to take. It will also limit the speed of your Tesla so that it can't be driven at speeds of more than 70mph, and it will also disable the ridiculous mode. It will also block your driver profiles and conceal your home and work addresses so that nobody other person can access your private data on your Tesla dashboard.
