Don't waste it on the car and use it on the nazi driving the car (but first, verify that they are, indeed, a nazi, some might have gotten it before the elon's nazi reveal)

I mean, aim for the windows?

From what I saw on a YouTube channel that tested the cyber truck. It can take anything up to a 22. Beyond that you’re screwed

FWIW, IIRC it's only bulletproof to subsonic 9mm. If you're using normal range ammo (115gr), it's not going to stop the bullet. It's definitely not going to stop any rifle more powerful than a .22lr.

And super-rigid body panels are actually a bad thing; it likely doesn't have crumple zones, which means that more energy is going into the passengers in a crash.

This guy is in to Telsa. Like enough to make an account for them. Odd.

I don't get the whole car being someone's identity thing. Whether it's their whole identity or just a part of it, doesn't matter.

A vehicle is a tool to get things done. Transporting people and things from location to location. But so many people are making it into a statement. I have no idea why.

I never wanted my car to make any statements, nor stand out in any way whatsoever. The reason of simple: no matter who you are, what you value, what you believe, there's always going to be people that disagree with you. A nontrivial number of those that disagree with your viewpoint, have the aptitude and willingness to mess with your property, especially when you're not looking.

So you're going to leave your opinion, on one of the most expensive things you own, while it is parked in public spaces with (more often than not) zero security against people's access to your shit.

I just.... I don't get it.

There was just stronger wind picking up some pebbles...

"A Typical Day Buying a Car in America"

So, there I was, minding my own business, when I decide it's about time I get myself a new set of wheels. You know, something reliable, maybe a little bulletproof? Can’t be too careful out there, right?

Walked into this dealership, looking sharp as ever in my sunglasses and a trench coat, ready to flip the script. The salesman, guy named Greg, looked up from his desk like I’d just walked into the sun. "Can I help you?" he says, polite but cautious. "Sure, buddy," I said, sliding my .45 onto the counter. "I’m in the market for a car that can take a hit."

Greg’s eyes widened. "Uh... we’ve got models that can handle themselves. How about the Honda Civic? It’s pretty tough for its size—bulletproof up to 9mm!" "9mm?" I repeated, unimpressed. "Buddy, my gun’s got a hair more punch."

We went through the lineup: the Ford F-150 with its armor-like doors (though it admitted it’d leave a dent or two), the Subaru Outback with its reinforced undercarriage (can’t trust cars that hide), and then… there was the Tesla Cybertruck. "Think you’re funny," I said, sliding behind the wheel. "Let’s see what this thing’s got."

Pulled out my SIG Sauer, popped off a few rounds. The Civic? Dented like a can of beans. The F-150? A bulletproof glass shattered, but it held up… kinda. And then the Cybertruck. "Bullets," I said, aiming dead center. "Go ahead. Hit it."

Greg let out a breath he probably hadn’t taken since 2012. The bullets hit, and… nothing. Not a scratch, not a dent. Just like that, the Cybertruck became my new ride. "Sure, why not," I said, shrugging. "It’s got range, style, and now, apparently, it’s bulletproof."

Drove off, leaving Greg staring after me like I’d just pulled a heist or something.

Is this like those dimples on golf balls, to make an air cushion layer to improve aerodynamics?

Testing? Testing with what? The cheapest crappiest frangible 9mm they could find?

The real ballsy move is riding two wheels, where I'm going I don't need imaginary armor panels around me.

This was done with a hammer.

that just means you need to bring a bigger bullet
