    Cyber Chite - another award for not being secure

    A clever car burglar broke into a vacant Cybertruck by popping one of the windows ajar and then peeling it wide open, which should alarm any owner of the Tesla vehicle, which has been marketed for its shatter-proof glass and tank-like exterior.

    After he looked inside the vehicle, the burglar took a tool from the red car and popped ajar the driver side window of the Cybertruck. The glass shattered but the window still kept its shape, probably due to an adhesive layer that keeps the Tesla window glass layers laminated together.

    The burglar then peeled down the window and reached inside for an unattended backpack before leaving in the getaway car.

    It's a rude awakening for Thakker, who may have bought into the Cybetruck's various security features, from the alarm to the so-called shatter-resistant armor glass that's supposed to be able to withstand substantial impacts.

    Even now with the Cybertruck out in the public, the vehicle has been subject to at least four recalls for problems with its wiper motor, accelerator pedal getting stuck, trunk issues, and trim pieces falling off.
