The Tesla Cybertruck, well known for its futuristic design and innovative features, is attracting public attention due to its possible ability to resist bullets. Let’s find out how well this amazing property has been put to the test and what implications it could have for the future of electric vehicles.
THE Tesla Cybertruck has just made its official entrance onto the automotive scene. Her avant-garde design and futuristic design captivates the attention of electric vehicle enthusiasts. It stands out in particular for its clean lines and its look straight out of a science fiction film.
Among the particularities that make the Cybertruck a lively subject of discussion, the resistance of Tesla vehicles to firearms has always been highlighted by Elon Musk. The idea of driving a vehicle rivaling a tank in terms of protection aroused as much astonishment as curiosity. We also remember this slightly failed lunar demonstration: Elon Musk broke a window of the Cybertruck with a pétanque ball while wanting to test its solidity.
A new Cybertruck strength test has recently emerged, adding a layer of fascination to this vehicle. In this video we see him doing facing direct fire. An individual can be seen using various calibers, from a pistol firing 9mm bullets to automatic weapons firing 9mm and .45 calibers. In this experiment, the balls bounce off the body of the Cybertruck without being able to penetrate its stainless steel structure. The video thus offers an impressive perspective of the Cybertruck’s ability to resist projectiles.
A closer look at the Cybertruck’s features reveals a synergy between safety and innovation. Armor that provides protection against bullets raises questions about overall weight of the vehicle and by extension, its autonomy. Remember that depending on the choice of the number of engines: 1, 2 or 3, its weight varies from 3400 to 6350 kg. Its range, up to 800 km for the 3-motor model, has not yet been officially approved.
