Why does this article leave out that this happened March of 2023…more than a year ago. They just got the footage last week. That still seems like an important detail.

Edit: added link to another article.

They don’t exactly say when this took place. A lot of places have the drive thru open later than the lobby. So the doors being locked isn’t all that shocking. If it was like 2 in the afternoon that’s a bit more strange.

They posted a link to their blog post down in the comments of the gist…

We also want to address the Bug Bounty program associated with this case. Although the researcher did initially submit the vulnerability through our established process, they violated key ethical principles by directly contacting third parties about their report prior to remediation. This was in violation of bug bounty terms of service, which are industry standard and intended to protect the white hat community while also supporting responsible disclosure. This breach of trust resulted in the forfeiture of their reward, as we maintain strict standards for responsible disclosure.

They failed to mention that the report was closed for being out of scope. Any reasonable person would expect that to mean a remediation was not coming. So really he didn’t give up his bounty because he wasn’t getting one to begin with.

Edit: cause autocorrect is dumb.

The title of the article I linked and its subtext is

“The 2023 Toyota Prius Prime Could Take 3 Weeks to Recharge—Without Plugging In

Or, put another way, you can get more than 1,000 miles of free range in a year.”

It most definitely charges the battery.

I remember looking at the Prius and it had a solar roof option. I remember reading a MotorTrend article about it. They had to make a lot of assumptions like 12 hours of sun everyday no exceptions and just to break even from the cost of the roof option it would take 5+ years. So not really worth it. You’d be better off just paying for the electricity or putting solar on your house and charging with that.

Edit…words missing
