I feel like that’s probably the one thing a vehicle marketed as bullet-proof needs to be… like, actually bullet-proof.
They can’t compete with a 20 year old crown vic

It’s a sad joke.
Oops. Who could’ve seen that one coming?
The original design had a 3/16" stainless shell and some very special glass, especially the windshield. I know that the production model is just a similar-shaped cast aluminum Tesla frame with appliance-grade stainless sheets glued to it. It’s basically a different vehicle from what they showed off.
I’m not convinced its appliance grade after the talks about it tarnishing
A youtube creator showed what the said was a production car being shot with various calibers, the .22 barely dented it and if I remember right it resisted everything up to .45. My issue with that is I’ve seen the body panels and seen people proving its just the same stainless that a refrigerator has, and about the thickness of any car door, and I put .22 rnds threw both of them many times.
How is this not false advertising?
When Musk does it is just puffery
I mean they are, who in their right mind would shoot a police car!? But I guess that is America. Crazy
Today? Only an idiot.
In 2029, when Trump refuses to leave? Maybe lots of people.
Trumpet himself will be removed/ excluded from power. But the team he’s put in place might not disappear so quickly.
Wait, people didn’t know that?
Various guntubers and social media influencers have been shooting up cybertrucks for like, 2 years now.
Yeah, it might stop an average pistol round from a moderate distance.
Close up? Probably not as much.
More serious, higher velocity pistol round? Also not so much.
Hits the glass? Yeah that shit ain’t bulletproof at all.
Rifle round? Swiss cheese.
… I’m confused people weren’t already widely aware of the cybertruck’s near total non-bulletproofness.
The Sheriff whose officers are presumably being trained that it is Bulletproof with a big B, that guy doesn’t know.
It’s an information-environment thing. If you go far enough to the right in the USA, you get a very different set of information sources.
Those information sources think the Cybertruck is bulletproof, because Elon said that it was (we actually talk about that piece in the article).
Imagine being a billionaire in the mood to be generous and making a large donation… and that’s the best you can come up with. Giving 10 cars to the police. WTF.
The police were probably about to open an investigation into said billionaire for child sex trafficking. Sadly, all of the evidence just suddenly went missing.
How could something go missing when it never existed. Musk has never molested a child. That’s all I have to post right or do you want a thing about how he’s good at video games as well no ats perfect alright they’ll post automatically in a minute or two unga gonna get some coffee
This is who you’re defending.
You’re silly
Not as silly as the fucking Nazi you people are defending.
Chance 3 to actually read my comment?
See, a lot of people don’t like to put the /s but sometimes it’s required. I read it the way you meant it, but I could easily see how people wouldn’t see the satire, as it’s a bit on the nose. If you wanna do satire or sarcasm, you really should throw in at least one part that is truly absurd to let people know it’s not actually defense, or throwing quotes around it if you’re wanting to be more subtle. Also you need more exclamation points if you’re going to mock the right.
They aren’t even waterproof.
That’s why they are in Las Vegas
Flash floods are a real threat in Vegas.
