Tesla Cybertruck’s Bulletproof Armor Proven in Video Showcase
Watch as the Tesla Cybertruck withstands gunfire, highlighting its impressive durability.
In a recent demonstration video posted by Tesla on social media, the Cybertruck has officially proven its mettle against bullets. The footage showcases the electric truck’s remarkable ability to withstand certain lower-power ammunition, including 9mm rounds fired from a submachine gun.
Key Takeaways:
- The Tesla Cybertruck, featured in a Tesla video, displayed its bulletproof capabilities.
- The stainless steel exterior of the Cybertruck resisted multiple rounds of gunfire, leaving only noticeable dents.
- The video highlighted the strength of the Cybertruck’s “ultra-hard 30x cold-rolled stainless steel.”
The short video clip, which gained traction on social media, depicts the Cybertruck enduring a barrage of bullets and driving away seemingly unfazed, save for the visible dents on its stainless steel surface. These bullets, fired from a 9mm Glock handgun, a .45 caliber Tommy Gun submachine gun, and a 9mm MP5-SD submachine gun, were no match for the Cybertruck’s resilience.
What truly stands out is the slow-motion footage showing the bullets disintegrating upon impact, failing to breach the truck’s exterior. Despite the substantial dents, not a single bullet managed to penetrate the doors and enter the cabin.
However, it’s worth noting that bullets with greater firepower, especially those fired from rifles with higher velocities and more pointed profiles, could potentially breach the stainless steel body panels of the Cybertruck. This conclusion is based on videos demonstrating that rifle rounds with increased firepower can indeed penetrate stainless steel panels of similar thickness to those used in the Cybertruck.
The Cybertruck’s exterior is constructed from “ultra-hard 30x cold-rolled stainless steel,” which, according to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), measures a substantial 3mm in thickness. In contrast, conventional steel door panels typically range from 0.7mm to 1mm in thickness.
The video evidence clearly shows the resistance of stainless steel to tearing, as the bullets cause the steel to stretch inward without tearing or shredding. While the bullet-resistant feature may not be deemed highly practical by all, it could offer an additional sense of security for some individuals.
In summary, the Tesla Cybertruck’s recent video showcase demonstrates its impressive bulletproof armor, proving its ability to withstand gunfire and highlighting the strength of its “ultra-hard 30x cold-rolled stainless steel” exterior.
