I'm so confused by this image, looking at the full size image I can see what looks like the arrow, like, there but with sparks around it? Did he have Joe Rogan or whoever the gently caress hand make the arrow from flint or something lol

So at what point does he slink away when someone with a desert eagle or AR-15 opens fire at a family driving down the road in one these death traps?

The last test I saw of a cybertruck window was the original showcase of the concept where they threw a ball bearing at the side window and the window shattered, it's been explicitly battle-testing the door panels ever since.

I'd imagine the chances of dying in the truck by just driving it is an order of magnitude higher than the chances of getting shot through the doors.

Rifle calibres will just zip thru any steel thin enough to not kill the EV range.

I bet the Tommy gun claim is total bs too. .45 isn’t a real penetrating round but those dents just look like someone did it with a hammer.

Not the Cybertruck though! It's too tough even for 6.8, and Elon can prove it easily.

I've personally put 5.56 rounds through maybe a 1/4" steel plate target.

They went through like butter.

Hopefully with him in it!

Regarding the pricing the funny part is that they will almost certainly lose a ton of cash per cybertruck for the foreseeable future and scaling up production of that stupid design is probably going to be a real nightmare.

45 is a garbage round against armor and legit those dents were done with a hammer. There is no spalling visible at all.

He may or may not have shot it, but 1/8" steel will happily stop 45acp if you carefully avoid shooting the same area twice with your machine gun

Yah it would stop it for sure but it looked too clean like the poster above said, no spalling or lead residue, there would be splats all over it. Shooting steel the steel gets absolutely coated with filth.. lead and copper bits all over. The steel looked way too clean.

Have you considered that maybe the .45 was loaded with tiny hammers so Elon, in his brilliance, could perform two tests at the same time. That’s just pure efficiency

He pretty much said that exactly

When someone pressed him about gun control after the Maine shooter, he said that the problem has nothing to do with guns. The problem is that people don't take the time to learn MMA for self defense like he does. He then said that if the Maine shooter had attacked him, he would have easily disarmed him and prevented the entire thing from happening

Is there some mixture of hollow point plus undercharged load you can get for minimum penetration. Of course the simplest explanation is they never shot the car and said they did. There would absolutely be a video if they shot it.

Of loving course the Cybertruk would omit amber turn signals. Love to guess if your car is braking, turning, changing lanes, or dead stopped.

The new Elon stan argument is that bulletproof glass is bad in a road vehicle, it's good that Elon broke the glass in that demonstration, actually. Bulletproof body panels are all a normal person needs for their daily commute.
