Despite claims that Cybertrucks can survive even the most hostile environments, one petty criminal figured out how to break into the $120,000 electric vehicle (EV) without breaking a sweat.
On the popular Cybertruck forum ‘Cybertruck Owners Club,’ a user posted a video of a petty thief successfully peeling the window of the EV and clambering inside.
Tesla’s “intelligent vehicle security system,” Sentry Mode, captured the entire ordeal at an angle. The thief can clearly be seen in the footage but has not yet been identified.
In the video, a red Nissan pulls up next to the “Cyberbeast." Two men are in the car, and the man in the passenger seat exits the vehicle to scope out a route into the EV.
With little to no force, the thief peels the Cybertruck’s front left window, which is barely cracked in the process and bends like cheap plastic.
It looks like the criminal used a tool that he took out of his jeans pocket to unhinge the window in order to pull it away from its frame.
The criminal then hoists himself into the Cybertruck and swiftly exits moments later, carrying what appears to be a black backpack.
The driver of the red Nissan attempts to drive off but seems to have some technical difficulties before eventually leaving the parking lot.
One forum user mentioned that thieves used to do the same thing with Honda Civics in the '90s, which prompted an impatient and frustrated response from a Cybertruck owner.
“I’ve never owned a Honda. But I’m pretty sure a Civic doesn’t cost $120,000, and I’ve never heard anybody boast about how apocalypse-proof Honda Civics are. My Cyberbeast has a lot going for it, but Tesla (mainly Elon) needs to learn how to under-promise and over-deliver instead of doing it bass-ackwards,” said Cybertruck Owners Club member Dalton.
Another user mentioned that in the footage, there's no indication that a car alarm went off.
“Wow, that was fast. Absolutely insane that the alarm didn’t go off. Sentry Mode for the fail.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a Cybertruck defy its apocalypse-proof status. One Tesla owner attempted to test out the truck’s ‘Wade Mode’ and managed to get stuck in a river in Bratislava, Slovakia.
Cybertrucks are seemingly no match for the Chinese desert either, as one user alleged that the vehicle “rolled down a steep hill, and it appears badly damaged.”
Users have even beaten, bruised, and abused their vehicles to test their durability.
YouTuber WhistlinDiesel took a stab at the Cybertruck to test its durability. Safe to say the truck didn’t survive the onslaught.
Although this thief managed to break into the Cybertruck without a hitch, feral animals are no match for the EV, as one Cybertruck managed to protect precious cargo from furry thieves.
