“No Alarm, No Notifications to my phone… literally nothing happened just found it like this…” wrote Cybertruck owner Anuj Thakker, who shared the upsetting news on Facebook a few days ago.

    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.’

        Imagine if you subscribed to a YouTuber and they had good content. You subscribe to their patreon. At some point later, they take on a bunch of sponsorships, and eventually they just become a corporate mouthpiece for their sponsors. Then their entire channel just gets bought by the corporation and is ran as a corporate social media account. At what point would you cancel your Patreon subscription? Would you say that refusing to pay that YouTuber for their videos means that you have a part to play in the process whereby they ultimately ended up as a corporate social media account?

        Because that is ultimately what happened with the media, in my opinion.

                It’s great once you get it. Draw lots of magic to junction to stats. GF assigned to your character enable the junctioning. Remember to tell your GFs to learn stuff.

                I recommend following a missables guide at least for GF draws.

      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.

    But if you’ve been following the development of the Cybertruck, the glass window’s failure does not come as a huge surprise.

    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.

    The burglar then peeled down the window and reached inside for an unattended backpack…

        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.

          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

        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.
