How does keyless car theft work?
A keyless fob has an in-built transceiver, which can send and receive coded radio signals. The signal from your car key is captured or amplified and copied.
Are all keyless cars at risk of being cloned or do some cars keys e.g.Tesla emit a signal which is so short that, inside the house, it is too far away to be captured?

For cars with keyless entry that normally only unlock the car within 1m, someone has a signal repeater/booster near your door hoping your keys are close. This transmits the signal to another device close to the car.
Some manufacturer key fobs will stop transmitting the signal if stationary for x minutes. Or use other techniques.
Ultimately if you have a desirable car and someone wants it they will break into your house, car jack you etc
Unless you dominate the hallway/stairs/driveway etc
