It's a rude awakening for Thakker, who may have bought into the Cybetruck's various security features
May?
They don’t know? They didn’t, like, ask him?
who shared the upsetting news on Facebook a few days ago
Oh. They wrote an article about a Facebook post without any follow-up questions.
Modern ‘journalism.’
You don’t expect me to eat a car peel and all, do you? How else do I get at that delicious sweet car meat?
Jaws of life.
I should feel bad but I don't.
I hope the Kia Boyz take notice
I don't even think the Kia Boyz would be caught in a cyber truck. And that's saying something
Could be fun for few minutes I’m sure
You want those teenagers joy riding a 100,000 yacht around town?
Better then some working mom’s 10 year old GMC Yukon. Both are fucking tanks but one belongs to a douche bag and one doesn’t
Lol holy shit cybertrucks are 1k lbs MORE than an old Yukon (6.6k to 6.8k lbs)
PS1-ass car
PS1 cars had more polygons, this is something out of an early 3D experiment for the MS-DOS.
CUBE!
PS1 ass-car?
Oh, he shattered the window and peeled it down. I was picturing peeling the whole side of the vehicle down.
Not the whole side, but several high end German cars in our neighborhood where attacked with a can opener to access the wiring to the alarm. Once that is off the car is gutted. Steering wheel, center console, dash.. everything gone. While on your driveway.
Just take a comically large tuna can opener and peel it like a can lid
But if you've been following the development of the Cybertruck, the glass window's failure does not come as a huge surprise.
That right there is the best sentence in the article
Okay, everybody! Who wants some fresh, hot brain implants?! Line up!
The burglar then peeled down the window and reached inside for an unattended backpack…
I don’t care what kind of vehicle you drive - if you leave thief-bait in plain view, don’t be surprised when your shit gets broken into.
Well he also shattered the window with a crowbar and the bullet proof sticker or whatever kept it together instead of a million pieces. It's actually a win for cyber truck the fail is the alarm didn't go off and there was no notification to the owner. Window peel is the least interesting part of the story.
upsetting?
TBF all cars are susceptible to broken windows
Not without the alarm going off
Not necessarily true, most alarms only go off when a door is opened. If they break a window to open the door from the inside the alarm will sound, but if they break the window and leave the door shut: silence.
Source: multiple cars broken into this way outside my apartment building, not one alarm went off
I thought those alarms were mainly triggered by movement? Every time I've been on a ferry with a car they tell everyone to turn their alarms off for that reason.
I used to have an Audi. It had a button that you could press to disable its motion sensor.
From what I’ve read, some cars do have movement/shock sensors, but they can be defeated by breaking the window in such a way as to cause minimal vibration to the vehicle, like a spring-loaded glass breaker. The guy who broke into my neighbour’s car took a metal rod or something, stuck it down between the glass and the dew wiper, and pulled back, putting pressure on the bit of tempered glass inside the door and causing it to shatter.
But it takes more effort and make more noise to break cat windows than "peeling" it
Sure, but a 100.000 dollar car that is sold as a bulletproof car that can drive over other cars in an apocalypse?
He didn't use a bullet.
Cybertruck is only cool and practical in Fortnite
Isn't the car not actually driveable or something in Fortnite?
It drives for up to four hours before suffering a mechanical fault, then you have to get it towed and wait six months for repairs. The game is hyper realistic.
