They aren't shitting their pants because they can actually get to a bathroom in their cars
"Technically" bulletproof (in that some parts can't have holes poked through them by bullets), can't drive through sand or mud.
Very apocalypse-proof.
Aside from the fact that you'd be funding the nazis, it's so fucking ugly...
Beauty is subjective. Nazis are not.
Beauty may be subjective, but a very small number of subjects find the Cybertruck to be beautiful.
Maybe a hot take, but I thought it looked cool in the concept images (though those are obviously unburdened by the constraints of reality). Unfortunately, so much of that sleekness it was originally going for was killed by the time the physical product went into production, and the low build quality is very apparent from pretty much any photos of one you can find.
I guess to each their own. To me, it always looked like a fiberglass shell put on an El Camino in a 1980s straight-to-VHS Mad Max ripoff movie.
Ironically, that would make it a better and more reliable vehicle.
At least they didn't try shooting through the bulletproof windows. They woulda killed the driver.
Don't waste it on the car and use it on the nazi driving the car (but first, verify that they are, indeed, a nazi, some might have gotten it before the elon's nazi reveal)
Nobody bought a Cybertruck before Elon showed his true colours. They might have gotten a Tesla though
People reserved them years ago
They didn't need to claim their reservations, as evidenced by the million or so unclaimed Cybertruck reservations.
checks for the "I bought this before I knew Elon was a piece of shit" bumper sticker
Check for the items of clothing worn by the occupants when they exit the vehicle.
If no Maga merch, its unconfirmed so you'll have to hold the fire.
If Maga shirt or Hat is seen... BINGO TIME 😎
Yeah, if they're merely morons you gotta just throw em a thumbs down
From what I saw on a YouTube channel that tested the cyber truck. It can take anything up to a 22. Beyond that you’re screwed
Obligatory... The Cyber truck is not rated as bullet proof. This footage was most likely produced with cartridges that have just enough gun powder to cycle the gun's action. Actual bulletproof vehicles are way more expensive.
The cybertruck is an completely obese but not heavy enough to be bulletproof.
Bullets go through trees like they aren't there. What makes you think the stainless steel body panels thata are as thick as
checks notes
the steel used in literally every car is somehow bullet proof?
Didnt Aiden Ross shoot his with a 9mm? Like hes a dumbass but he actually gave good data on that one.
I’ve seen others do the same tests and anything above a 22. Goes right through
This footage was most likely produced with cartridges that have just enough gun powder to cycle the gun’s action.
Frankly, it's probably not even that much. They probably used a bolt action and really light powder loads. I'd say maybe it's a .22 but the dents look big for that.
Edit: Someone else posted this a JerryRigEverything video- it apparently stops .22 and 9mm. I'm pretty surprised.
Looking it up, the doors are 1.8mm steel. At a 90 degree angle that's enough to stop underpowered 9mm rounds reliably. It will stop most normal rounds fired at it, and especially start letting a lot through in areas with repeated stress. The second you hot load a round, use a heavy projectile or any kind of round with more potential than standard FMJ it's all going through.
And that has to be the right kind of steel too. Which is more expensive. So yeah I'm pretty sure they used underpowered rounds at the very least to create this visual.
Checked brandon herrera. Seems like its bullet resistant and can handle non hot or ap loads from 9mm and below pistols and that's it. Still hard to believe since there's all info is from big tech platforms and big youtubers who are all famous for their jorunalistic integrity.
Pellet gun dude
Good enough to run over all the liberal protestors!

"Competinion" in the EU are shitting themselves laughing at this joke of a vehicle.
There is no "competition" in the EU because this deathtrap isn't allowed on many of the roads here.
I can attest I have never seen a cybertruck and we are pretty EV heavy. Teslas are even getting rarer since they are built so shit they can't handle the winter and salted roads.
Even us in America. This is a joke of a car made by a joke of a person.
Why the fuck would 99% of people need to think about bullets hitting their car?
Good for taking kids to school and bringing them home
Sneezes in American.
Sadly, it is not bulletproof enough to save black Americans from a hail of police bullets.
do they sneeze bullets in America? wouldn't be surprised
When in America...

Probably an airgun and not a very powerful one.
Even if not, I doubt competitors are "shitting their pants" over this. Can't say the bulletproofness rating topped the list of features I was looking for in my next car purchase

At this point, do any companies seriously see the cybertruck as “competition”?
Nobody wants to replicate or compete against the Cybertruck directly, but it is the first production car to implement several key technologies like steer by wire a 48v low voltage system rather than traditional 12v one. Tesla has had a lot longer to develop these than the competition, but ultimately Elon's stupid design and love affair with Trump mean Tesla won't succeed commercially from these innovations.
