Yes let's all make cars ridiculously strong and kill pedestrians because fuck them!
"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.
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.
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)
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?
Didnt Aiden Ross shoot his with a 9mm? Like hes a dumbass but he actually gave good data on that one.
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.
Pellet gun dude
Good enough to run over all the liberal protestors!
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?
Good for taking kids to school and bringing them home
Sneezes in American.
Sadly, it is not bulletproof enough to save black Americans from a hail of police bullets.
do they sneeze bullets in America? wouldn't be surprised
When in America...
"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.
Probably an airgun and not a very powerful one.
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)
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”?
Nobody wants to replicate or compete against the Cybertruck directly, but it is the first production car to implement several key technologies like steer by wire a 48v low voltage system rather than traditional 12v one. Tesla has had a lot longer to develop these than the competition, but ultimately Elon's stupid design and love affair with Trump mean Tesla won't succeed commercially from these innovations.
Yes. These selling assault rifles and inflatable dolls. Cash is limited.
SAAB. Maybe.
Sorry, I don't see cybertrucks getting off the ground.
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.
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?
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.
One of the many problems with our time is people say shit like this just to get reactions now. Irony is dead.
Imagine making a social media account just to rusty trombone a corporation
There’s even a Lemmy user that’s done that @threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works
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."
whistling douche bag
Yeah I saw that one, TBH that guy has major ADHD (which I can sympathize with).
This guy is in to Telsa. Like enough to make an account for them. Odd.
This was done with a hammer.
There was just stronger wind picking up some pebbles...
Perfect for the mall ninja crowd
Pity it can't hold up to a guy tugging on the bezel with one hand
that just means you need to bring a bigger bullet
