Has this been independently verified as bullet proof by a reputable company? As I have zero trust in any assertions from Tesla based on their previous demos of this.
No. It's not bulletproof. They proved that it's not during their first demo where they tried to prove that it is. But for some reason they get to keep claiming that it is with zero repercussions.
There are plenty of videos of them being shot
That one guy who sniffs Andrew Tate's farts tested it and it didn't seem to do very well.
To clarify on these two points, Adin Ross literally sniffed the chair Andrew tate sat on after an interview, and also shot the fuck out of his cybertruck and eventually penetrated the door.
Is satire even possible when sub degenerate people exist?
Bulletproof vs small caliber rounds, and even then, it's really more like bullet resistant because if you hit the same spot twice, the second round will punch through.
Everything is only ever bullet "resistant." Have you ever seen the before/after picture of Fort Douaumont after the Battle of Verdun?
Nothing is bullet proof. The CyberTruck is just more resistant than most, although I still don't understand why. Sure he's a QAnon nutjob, but I have to think it's more secondary use for materials developed for SpaceX. They spent a bunch of time and money developing some interesting materials and decided to try to get more use it of it, and the whole bullet-proof bit was more attention-grabbing.
They were using far more than bullets at Verdun.
JerryRigEverything tested it and it stopped smaller bullets
Car doors in 1935 could stop a 38 special with FBI semi-wadcutter loads. They stopped so many bullets that the .357 magnum was developed. Tesla is failing to do something that cars were able to do 111 years ago.
Like a cap gun? Lmao
There are videos that show it's kinda bulletproof, but not really.
Bullet resistantish.
