The Tesla Cybertuck can really cease bullets and Tesla proved this by displaying a video of it doing so. The truck is certainly bulletproof towards some lower-power ammunition, together with 9 mm rounds from a submachine gun.
Watch the transient video under to see how the Cybertruck stops dozens of rounds of bullets after which drives away as if nothing ever occurred (other than a large quantity of dents seen on the stainless-steel exterior).
The rounds hitting the Cybertruck have been fired by a .45 caliber Tommy Gun submachine gun, a 9mm Glock handgun, and a 9mm MP5-SD submachine gun. It is shocking to see the quantity of flex within the stainless-steel physique panels because the bullets make impression. Maybe much more surprising is that not one of the rounds penetrated the outside of the truck. Certain there are some sizeable dents left behind, however not one bullet penetrated the cabin of the automobile.
It appears as if rounds extra highly effective than 9mm, particularly these fired from rifles (which have larger velocities and a extra pointed profile), can penetrate the Cybertruck’s metal. We draw this conclusion primarily based on movies that present higher-powered rifle rounds blast proper by stainless-steel of the identical thickness as that discovered on the Cybertruck.
The electrical truck’s exterior options “extremely arduous 30x cold-rolled stainless-steel.” As per the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), typical metal door panels are 0.7-1 millimeter thick, whereas the Cybertruck’s stainless-steel is 3 mm thick. Stainless-steel can also be extra resistant to ripping than typical metal doorways, as witnessed within the video when the bullet stretches the metal inward somewhat than ripping or shredding it.
We’re not so positive this bullet-resistant characteristic may be very helpful, however for some, it might present some further piece of thoughts.
