Are the bullet holes shopped on instead of shot on?
It looks like the same hole with the same shadows pasted all over the car.
The spread is also weird. Not random, not cluster. Like someone tried to evenly space them, but only on the door panels.
“A Typical Day Buying a Car in America”
So, there I was, minding my own business, when I decide it’s about time I get myself a new set of wheels. You know, something reliable, maybe a little bulletproof? Can’t be too careful out there, right?
Walked into this dealership, looking sharp as ever in my sunglasses and a trench coat, ready to flip the script. The salesman, guy named Greg, looked up from his desk like I’d just walked into the sun. “Can I help you?” he says, polite but cautious. “Sure, buddy,” I said, sliding my .45 onto the counter. “I’m in the market for a car that can take a hit.”
Greg’s eyes widened. “Uh… we’ve got models that can handle themselves. How about the Honda Civic? It’s pretty tough for its size—bulletproof up to 9mm!” “9mm?” I repeated, unimpressed. “Buddy, my gun’s got a hair more punch.”
We went through the lineup: the Ford F-150 with its armor-like doors (though it admitted it’d leave a dent or two), the Subaru Outback with its reinforced undercarriage (can’t trust cars that hide), and then… there was the Tesla Cybertruck. “Think you’re funny,” I said, sliding behind the wheel. “Let’s see what this thing’s got.”
Pulled out my SIG Sauer, popped off a few rounds. The Civic? Dented like a can of beans. The F-150? A bulletproof glass shattered, but it held up… kinda. And then the Cybertruck. “Bullets,” I said, aiming dead center. “Go ahead. Hit it.”
Greg let out a breath he probably hadn’t taken since 2012. The bullets hit, and… nothing. Not a scratch, not a dent. Just like that, the Cybertruck became my new ride. “Sure, why not,” I said, shrugging. “It’s got range, style, and now, apparently, it’s bulletproof.”
Drove off, leaving Greg staring after me like I’d just pulled a heist or something.
The fuck they shoot it with? Paintballs?
FWIW, IIRC it’s only bulletproof to subsonic 9mm. If you’re using normal range ammo (115gr), it’s not going to stop the bullet. It’s definitely not going to stop any rifle more powerful than a .22lr.
And super-rigid body panels are actually a bad thing; it likely doesn’t have crumple zones, which means that more energy is going into the passengers in a crash.
If it’s on fire and the autolocks, you know the doors are strong enough to not budge when you try to kick them open.
Is this like those dimples on golf balls, to make an air cushion layer to improve aerodynamics?
Yes let’s all make cars ridiculously strong and kill pedestrians because fuck them!
Seriously, the cyber truck is an embarrassment. The only positive thing I can say about its design is at least it doesn’t have a tall, blunt front end that minimizes pedestrian visibility while maximizing pedestrian fatality, as seems to be the current trend.
“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.
Ah, that’s why there are never any cybertrucks in Mad Max.
Aside from the fact that you’d be funding the nazis, it’s so fucking ugly…
They are ugly, but I’d love to have them on some zombie apocalypse survival games ^^
Beauty is subjective. Nazis are not.
I know of no one who think’s that’s an attractive car. it must be the exception.
Looks cool, has many flaws. I’ll wait for v2
Von Braun already beat him to it.
I don’t want a rocket i want an electric vehicle that sort of reminds me of the warthog from halo
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.
And you know what, I’m a fan of the rugged look with the brushed steel and all that. I just can’t get past the lines, they are so terrible. It really looks like a kid drew it but in a bad way. If they’d made it square it would be nice imho
It’s like he was trying to draw a Delorian from memory and forgot it wasn’t a truck.
It looks like the car from the video for “You Got Lucky Babe” by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
They aren’t shitting their pants because they can actually get to a bathroom in their cars
At least they didn’t try shooting through the bulletproof windows. They woulda killed the driver.
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
As someone relatively ignorant of firearms I couldn’t name a smaller caliber. Isn’t 22 a very lightweight round?
Lightweight and low-energy.
.308 maybe… From 600 yards.
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
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?
because most car panels aren’t steel as that’s a. dangerously bad choice compared to aluminium.
They are definetly steel cause aluminium is very expensive. Otherwise cars wouldn’t rust.
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!
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
Can conform cyber truck is not bulletproof. It didnt stop anything that we shot at. It.
“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.
