Its time to shoot a bulletproof Tesla. And thanks to ArmorMax for letting us borrow their Model S.
Adding bulletproof glass and paneling to a Tesla does add some weight to the body. BUT since Teslas are already pretty heavy its not a big deal. Losing a few miles of range due to the extra weight might be worth it for the added protection.

Might be useful if your neighbor has a pet cassowary.
A cassowary has been following me all day.
Cassowary, very dangerous!
There a few articles posted on just how deadly they can be!
Why take the chance, get your Tesla armored up, for late night runs to the local White Castle.
How would it stand up to a full-charge .44 magnum?
An aftermarket option for your consideration.
TESLA... The preferred car for Rappers.
When selling scams like electric cars, never declare failure. Always keep the scam moving by selling different versions of it, such as, a Bulletproof Tesla, Space Tesla, or a Weiner Mobile Tesla.
Apparently, YES.

not really. all someone has to do is follow it for a few minutes until it runs out of juice ...
When selling scams like electric cars
So EV’s are a scam?
The cost/benefits ratio may or may not be there?
Other than that what is the problem?
If you do not like them, do not buy them.
“A cassowary has been following me all day.”
A cassowary once bit my sister.
“How would it stand up to a full-charge .44 magnum?”
The car or the cassowary?
TESLA... The preferred car for Rappers.
True?
My only connection to rap is when the jamoke next to me has his speakers rattle my windows, and being hearing impaired, I can still hear something.
Is this real or, you simply tugging at my chain?
The neighbor’s cassowary made you do this?
Since when were Tesla owners worth shooting at? If Al Capone owned a Tesla, I’d see their point.
There’s a farm around here that grows Emus; what for, I don’t know.
Handgun shoots car!
Why do you call electric cars a scam? IF you don’t like them, don’t buy them. Electric cars are not for everyone, but they work great for some.
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, did you like the play?
Tesla’s problem is that they don’t have a decent director of strategic planning. Car sales are in free fall. So what did Tesla do? Come out with a new car model.
What Tesla should have done was come out with a PIE luxury pick up truck. They could have grabbed a big chunk of the rich - but - stupid Suburban Cowboy pickup market.
And it shouldn’t be hard to out-perform something like the Mercedes Benz X class for marketing purposes.
