    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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?
