The footage is said to have been recorded through the Cybertruck's cameras. Marek, the owner of the Cybertruck, released the video and emphasized, "The Cybertruck is safe even in California. The bulletproof glass can withstand attempts to break in by jumping onto the sunroof."


In the video, the thief makes numerous attempts to break the Cybertruck's windows but frequently fails. Eventually, the thief climbs onto the vehicle to break the sunroof but fails again. Ultimately, the exhausted thief gives up on the vehicle and runs away.

The thief's theft attempt was fully recorded by Tesla's 'Sentry Mode.' Sentry Mode is a security feature that uses Tesla vehicle's autopilot-assist cameras to monitor 360 degrees around the vehicle.


Earlier, Tesla CEO Elon Musk emphasized the Cybertruck's 'bulletproof performance.' At its first unveiling in 2019, a prototype's glass shattered when struck by a large metal ball, causing some embarrassment, but it is reported that the glass durability was significantly enhanced afterward.
