The post falsely claims that the truck is ‘bulletproof’, a term not used in Tesla’s own marketing. It was a marketing gimmick by Musk himself for which he lost $768M the day after the botched reveal.

It is LIE - I presume you cite FAKE NEWS since you refuse to submit source - and deserved of deleting your comment or the whole thread.

Before my first comment, I went to your link. Tesla itself: NOT A WORD ABOUT “BULLETPROOF”.

To-wit:
“ULTRA-HARD 30X COLD-ROLLED STAINLESS STEEL

If there was something better, we’d use it. Help eliminate dents, damage and long-term corrosion with a smooth monochrome exoskeleton that puts the shell on the outside of the car and provides you and your passengers maximum protection.”

“EXOSKELETON
Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection. Starting with a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, every component is designed for superior strength and endurance, from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin to Tesla armor glass.”

Reporting me for abuse for calling you out is a very liberal thing to do.

For the rest of us, if you want bulletproof, I submit the BMW X5 VR6.

It will be interesting to see how such a hard stainless steel works out. I have seen stainless used in automotive applications and it work hardens over time due to vibration and twisting and ends up cracking.

I also remember replacing late 70’s era aluminum frame rails in OTR trucks that cracked due to work hardening and improper initial heat treat. Not a fun job for the record. Hardness is not necessarily your friend in automotive applications.

Again, Asking politely would have gotten you interesting videos and links on the subject from respected sources.

Instead you attack, threaten, and tattle.
