I feel like that’s probably the one thing a vehicle marketed as bullet-proof needs to be… like, actually bullet-proof.
Wait until the first LEO can’t get out of one of these when it catches on fire.
Musk will STILL be treated with kid gloves. We simply cannot hold billionaires to the same standards.
The Musk phenomenon is so strange. I live in Canada, and I’ve made multiple people absolutely melt down over the smallest criticism of him.
Teach us your ways. This sounds almost blissful.
Oops. Who could’ve seen that one coming?
Yeah. A vehicle known for trapping occupants when damaged, then burning them alive. Are you sure that’s the kind of vehicle you want to be in when it gets shot at?
That is exactly the kind of vehicle I want ICE to find themselves in. Makes em’ melt like butter.
Not melt like ice?
It was right there.
Tbf, they’re probably left handed.
Good
they are giant charcuterie saw though.
Problem? Idk, personally I kinda prefer Nazis to not be bullet proof.
They are just about as bullet proof as the cars are self driving. Dunno why anyone might think that they would actually be bullet proof, given Musk’s track record…

They can’t compete with a 20 year old crown vic

It’s a sad joke.
I mean they are, who in their right mind would shoot a police car!? But I guess that is America. Crazy
Today? Only an idiot.
In 2029, when Trump refuses to leave? Maybe lots of people.
Trumpet himself will be removed/ excluded from power. But the team he’s put in place might not disappear so quickly.
Someone who is or is about to be attacked or killed by the police I’d imagine.

Are you sure that’s the only problem?
I need more proof. I don’t believe they aren’t, someone prove it.
Probably not what you’re looking for, but…
I appreciate you, Gollum, and I agree that that is a great video…
… Which is why that video is linked in the article under the heading:
“Cybertrucks Are Not Bulletproof. Watch This Guy Shoot Holes in One to Prove It.”
It probably doesn’t matter if they are actually bulletproof. They’ll be used as propaganda show cars, or personal vehicles for the brass, and never called into actual service.
No one in their right mind is going to pick the “bulletproof” cybertruck over an armored Bearcat in a scenario where they expect to be shot at. For non-tactical applications they’re no more or less bulletproof than a standard potrol vehicle.
For non-tactical applications they’re no more or less bulletproof
You sure about that? I mean, they’re made of thin stainless steel glued to a plastic shell.
Yeah. Any car that isn’t armored should be assumed 0% bulletproof. I wouldn’t trust a car door to protect me from a .22.
The engine block is the only thing on a regular cop car that would reliably stop, deflect, or at least slow most bullets.
And yet it also missed on cybertruck.
I think you missed the whoosh
These things look even dumber as cop cars.
robocop was supposed to be absurd and cautionary :(
It was a satire, but the wrong people took it as aspirational
Just like Starship Troopers.
But…but… They are doing their part, right?
