Tesla

The Cybertruck is Tesla's most American car - it's a huge truck, for one, it's made of stainless steel, and it's bulletproof. But to what extent?

Zack from JerryRigEverything took the Cybertruck over to the gun range where he proceeded to test the 1.8mm stainless steel against bullets ranging from 9mm, through 17mm, all the way to a 50 caliber bullet from an assault rifle.

Long story short, the Tesla Cybertruck's steel panels are bulletproof until 9mm - the most common bullet. And even those can pierce the cabin if multiple bullets are shot at the same spot. Speedier bullets managed to pierce the Cybertruck's steel panel. A 17mm bullet managed to pass through the panel and remain in the door panel, while the 50 caliber pierced right through.

Important reminder - the Cybertruck's windows are strong, but they're not even close to bulletproof.
