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.

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.
Pellet gun dude
Can conform cyber truck is not bulletproof. It didnt stop anything that we shot at. It.
Why the fuck would 99% of people need to think about bullets hitting their car?
When in America…

“Competinion” in the EU are shitting themselves laughing at this joke of a vehicle.
Even us in America. This is a joke of a car made by a joke of a person.
Actually, that damage happened because I’m allergic to bullshit and I sneezed on it.
The sheer speed of winds coming out of your nose is quite a environmental disaster.
So I’ve been told.
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
If I could afford a new car, I might consider that feature given the potential of the next few years…
More important will be the ability to repair it yourself when things inevitably break. Given that musk is insanely petty and political, you would need to count on whittling Tesla parts from a piece of wood.
Or the fact that Cyber trucks rarely make it more than a few hundred miles (if that) before they shut themselves off. Also, if you are ever in an accident and it loses power, it may very well lock you in the vehicle while it burns you to death.
You can DIY bulletproof your own car with phone books if it really matters to you.
I haven’t seen one of those in years. Lol.
The local ibrary might need to weed some outdated encyclopedias though. 🤔
Man I’m so glad I was tired of throwing them away.
However, as Clarkson demonstrated in Iraq, you can’t bulletproof a car with sandbags.
If I could afford a new car, I’d rather move to a neighborhood where my car doesn’t get shot at.
according to some dude with a lots of guns, youtube channel and a cybertruck it will stop 9x19mm and .22 LR, but not .17 HMR, .223/5.56x45mm, or presumably anything bigger. .17 HMR will stop in doors, but will go through external plate
anyway this is movie plot scenario relevant only to edgelords. maybe it’ll be easier to avoid being shot at by not being in a car associated with shitheads
Places that have metal protecting you (legs), places not bullet proof, head and chest.
Doesn’t sound that useful. Also the bridge I currently take to go to work as the main bridge is closed for updating for the next few months only supports 3 tons. So a cyber truck couldn’t get to my residence without taking a 7 mile detour each way.(Not that I was ever considering one nor could afford one)
Edit to also add fun fact for those that maybe didn’t understand the size of a .22lr or a .223 listed above. .223 is also known as 5.56 NATO. though they sound similar in size, a .223 round has 10x the energy of a .22 (they are much larger and travel much faster)
wait how come this thing is over three tons (metric)
who is this thing for and for what purpose
4wd swastika
Not sure who they are for. I have seen a few. I have never seen one tow or haul anything yet though. So I think they are just for looking strange.
Kadyrov put a NSV machinegun on it, but it’s only for celebratory gunfire and joyrides, it’s nowhere near capable of frontline use
Wait are the windows Bulletproof? Because I don’t think you can do that and still comply with safety regulations.
comply with safety regulations
Given that the Swastikkkars haven’t had any sort of certification from NHTSA or any other testing institute, I think we can safely say they don’t.
Cars with bulletproof windows definitely exist and can be driven on the street?
Interesting. Must be some sort of safety exemption?
I guess you could have a bullet proof layer seperated by some air and some extra layers of plastic in-between, sounds like it would be hella chunky though.
Back a couple decades ago in the industry it was kind of a trade off between splattering your skull on the window, or stopping rifle rounds. Seems like improvements might have been made.
They definitely look to be dents from spheres to me. Maybe just a slingshot.
I went down a rabbithole recently because I was convinced of the same. Apparently this is the only claim that’s actually true. You can take your pick of videos on youtube. You can find things that will pen it, but not your random 9mm or other handgun.
Having said that, it makes complete sense to me that the “I must be ready to dispense death at any moment” crowd also thinks they need a vehicle that is prepared to repel other people dispensing death at any moment.
Most of that crowd seem to be against the idea of electric vehicles though.
At this point, do any companies seriously see the cybertruck as “competition”?
SAAB. Maybe.
Sorry, I don’t see cybertrucks getting off the ground.
Yes. These selling assault rifles and inflatable dolls. Cash is limited.
it’d be a neat idea if cars actually regularly had to interact with projectiles! y’know what cars DO have to interact ALL THE TIME?
water.
In fact, when they do interact with other projectiles, those projectiles are other cars. But I guess no one knew crumple zones could be so complicated.
Why the fuck would someone be deluded enough to think this attribute of a vehicle is important enough for any established manufacturer to even give it the courtesy of a thought.
Adding something nobody asked for, for no reason, that nobody would ever be in a situation to find it useful only underscores just how impulsive and idiotic of a poseur Musk is. Though, I guess if I was some Nazi cunt, I might add “bullet-resistant transportation” to my list of requirements too.
Lol Luigi proof doors but not windows.
One of the many problems with our time is people say shit like this just to get reactions now. Irony is dead.
I don’t know how anyone thinks buying a Tesla, and in any way supporting the guy supporting the Nazis in the EU, is acceptable.
Other nazis and those who won’t admit they are nazis are okay with it.
This ☝️. Even buying a BMW, VW, or Porsche (former Nazi conspirators) probably isn’t as bad as buying a Tesla from a current-day Nazi
This is what I don’t get. BMW, VW, and Porsche are all companies that supported the Nazis. Assuming that 99% of all employees at those companies when they supported the Nazis are no longer working there, what does it matter that they supported the Nazis? BMW, VW, and Porsche aren’t a real person each. There’s no Mr. BMW going into a secret mountain lair snickering while rubbing their hands together. It’s really just a name for an economic system. The people all change like the boards on the ship of Theseus. And it wasn’t BMW’s, VW’s, or Porsche’s fault for not having just ethics. The entire country was taken over by Nazi’s. Surely the people that resisted were removed or punished. Maybe some employees pulled a Schindler and protected people as best they could. Others tried that CIA sabotage manual shit that’s hilarious. Some were all about Nazis. But, none of those people are there anymore in any effectual number. In other words, BMW is just a name as I understand it. Is there something I’m missing? Do we need to rename it to something else so that suddenly the root essence that supported the Nazi’s is removed? While we’re at it, do we need to rename Germany/Deutchland or shame them until they change their name?
I agree with many of your points. My last car was a BMW and I currently drive an Audi. This article from 2022 about David de Jong’s book Nazi Billionaires goes into pretty good depth about this
I mean, aim for the windows?
Where people’s heads and hearts are? That doesn’t seem fair.
I wonder what a Super soaker full of hydrogen peroxide would do. I’m assuming it would rust like hell, but maybe not
Imagine making a social media account just to rusty trombone a corporation
There’s even a Lemmy user that’s done that Elon musketeers or something
This looks more like desperation. An “investor” desperately trying to keep themselves afloat.
My mother in laws car looked like that after a heavy hail storm, this is not a gun being used lol. What a pathetic publicity stunt.
They re did that stunt at release. They changed it up to gingerly throwing a tennis ball instead.
Everyone should watch the Top Gear Hilux episodes, and ask if a Cybertruck could go through that.
Some YouTubers have beaten up more modern trucks too.
Some youtuber got a wankpanzer and, I think, an f150 to do “durability tests” with. Since the actual point is to create internet content, and the creator might kinda like elon for some reason, it’s obvious that the tests and their results are ridiculous. It’s like:
“Oh, no! The cybertruck’s frame snapped off! There goes your trailer! The air suspension broke! The stupid tablet became a disco party of red warnings! …but the f150 couldn’t jump 5 feet into the air, and also the door has a hole in it from when we used explosives, issues which the cybertruck doesn’t have. So they’re neck and neck, really.”
Yeah I saw that one, TBH that guy has major ADHD (which I can sympathize with).
whistling douche bag
This was done with a hammer.
