Tesla Cybertruck's Bullet Resistance Tested by YouTuber

The Tesla Cybertruck, touted as bulletproof by Elon Musk, was put to the test by YouTuber JerryRigEverything, revealing limitations in its bullet resistance.

  • YouTuber JerryRigEverything tested the Tesla Cybertruck's bullet resistance, finding it could withstand 9mm and .22-caliber rounds but not faster bullets like .223 or .50-caliber.
  • The Cybertruck's stainless steel body showed resilience against certain firearms, but faster, more powerful rounds penetrated the metal, challenging its 'bulletproof' claim.
  • Despite not being fully bulletproof, the Cybertruck's performance against some rounds was praised for its durability and resistance.
  • Elon Musk has promoted the Cybertruck as a rugged, bulletproof vehicle since its announcement in 2019, despite previous demonstrations revealing vulnerabilities.
  • The test raises questions about the practicality of the Cybertruck's bullet resistance in extreme scenarios, such as post-apocalyptic conditions or high-powered firearm attacks.
