I just hope that the musk-o-vites wake the hell up before he actually manages (some how) to dump 100 people on Mars but then (naturally) fails to include that one special critical thing that they actually need...like , maybe oxygen or water or space suit helmets...."oh, no, they had to sign up and pay extra for that option".....@@AdrianOkay
And especially bulletproof glass is supposed to get spiderweb cracks, to dissipate the energy of the bullet to stop it before it goes through the glass.
if you're saving a 50 year old scotch for that purpose, you'll be waiting for eternity. why not share it with a sweet girl instead (me)? at least a woman will provide a much smoother ride than a damn cybertruck
A 3mm steel hood (in a crash) would deform for the first few milliseconds then release from the front end, break the hinge mounts and scythe back thru the passenger compartment. A bullet won't get you but a front end collision would decapitate everybody. "Genius" at work......
Well up side, at lest no one has to worry how to break the glass if their body is already in two peaces 😊 But the real question? How fast can that truck go? Wasn't it like 6,669 lbs. That's pretty heavy think they would be dead by the impact before they get cut in half by the hood. But I feel more sorry for the other car.
Most funny is, how many people is killed in car accidents compare to killed by bullets shoting when u sit in your car around the world? I presume that is around 10 000 to 1 or something. Musk thinks bullet proof car is the best thing... He is frankly stupid
17:56 Musk is so irritating, because you can tell he's trying desperately to be cool. Wearing a leather jacket or a cowboy hat, swearing in interviews etc. He's trying to be edgy and cool, when he's so far from cool it's actually impressive.
You don't need to pretend to be cool when you are the worlds richest man who sold the worlds best selling car last year and launched the worlds most launched rocket after buying Twitter with some loose change in your pocket. Hey hows ThunderFails cats going?
I am confused. Normally, Elon Musk is accused of beguiling woeful victims with his charisma and charm. I guess, his companies just make compelling products. Because I agree, he's kind of a dork; brilliant and accomplished, and yet a dork.
He’s disrupting small truck design by creating something truck aficionados have only dreamed of: a truck that not only serves no useful purpose(like a blinged out 150), but a truck that cannot serve a useful purpose. Elon fans are understandably excited because they also serve no useful purpose.
Ok, having a trillion dollar company and selling millions of cars a year = no cattle? Explain someone who has cattle. He literally has the most influence out of anyone alive today.
We laughed about the Russians paying their car decades in advance and then getting junk. And here we are, 2024, paying for a car that doesn't deliver what was promised when the car was paid 2017. Not by far. How would the finances of Tesla look like without the cult members blowing money up Musks a$$?
The windows can break and there is a manual door catch inside. I suspect the bomb proof glass got forgotten about when someone said that would be a massive liability and add a lot of weight.
Musk: I want to throw a ball at the windows again, without breaking them this time. Engineer: We will have to redesign the glass, that will take time and money. Must: What if we redesign the ball? Engineer: Any metal ball will break the glass. Musk: What if we use a non-metal ball -a baseball for example. Engineer: Baseballs are pretty hard. The glass could still break. Musk: Ok. What about a rubber ball that looks like a baseball. Engineer: I guess that would work. As long as it's a toy ball, the kind kids play with, and you don't throw it very hard. Musk: Fine. Do that. The idiots in the audience won't notice anything.
Someone should tell Elon Musk what "bulletproof glass" means. Bulletproof glass just stops bullets. The glass absorbs the kinetic energy of the bullet, so the bullet stop and therefore doesn't travel through the glass. During the absorption, the glass (actually glass-plastic compound) changes shape. Just like the crumple zone of - it sacrifices itself to protect you from going to pieces. Sadly, "the smartest man on Earth" seems to have forgotten that constant learning is what keeps you smart. Like, ya know, checking the Wikipedia article about bulletproof glass before you try funny things. Well, of course, Musk's failed demonstration just provided more free marketing. I must admit I fell for it. Can't wait to buy the Cybertruck, $40000, 500+ miles range *and* as fast as a Porsche (yes, *and,* not *or,* 210+ mph for 500+ miles straight!). Only funny thing is that, at the delivery event, the range was 320 miles (estimated). WTF? Estimated? Did no one ever try to drive a Cybertruck for 320 miles before it got delivered? I need to reconsider my, uh, "fanboy attitude"...
I use square glasses cuz they stack better in the cupboard. So listen to me, instead of a square cup older, make a rectangular rack and then make and sell square cups. Now you not only sold a car, it also repeating customers
@HomoLegalMedic Camel is better than a horse to have in a desert. Your point is so non-existent that i think it was designed by safety committee for use by children.
@yesno9592 it's impressive how massively you missed the point. The community wasn't designing a camel for the desert, they were designing an animal to do what horses do and ended up with a camel - aka an animal not fit for its inded purpose, not an animal with no purpose.
More like his marketing. It feels like business tactic that probably worked for him in the past which is why he continues with it. Overpromising and creating hype and making people want to invest and buy even if the final products is half as good.
@@tatata1543Can you name anyone else who has done more? He’s pushed the entire world’s auto industry towards electrification and has one of the most successful solar panel companies.
Yeah the whole I've done more for the environment than any human alive bit during that interview does make him look like the biggest narcissistic cock of all time. Saying that it was the same interview in which he was throwing his toys out of the pram because advertisers had opted to jump ship from TWITTER, so lets say he was just over compensating to make up for being a total and utter idiot.
The fact he used a fake baseball shows his contempt for other human beings. This is a man who really believes he is intellectually superior and no one will see through his brilliant deception.

Ya says a lot about how stupid people are when people has to tell them not being able to break the glass could be a bad thing in an emergency. And with how Tesla cars are built. If it went into the water they better have scuba gear lol If their car is on fire? Well I'll bring the hot dog. Lol
That sounded more like a soft rubber ball. The rubber balls my son plays with make a similar sound. And they also do not want to give the appearance of a rock-hard baseball. That was simply deception.
regular toughened glass can take a steel ball drop impact with relative ease. partially because of the amount a toughened glass can flex before breaking. (youtube comment section does not like links but search for "News Reporter Can't Break Into Car FAIL!" for some lols and demonstrration of what a toughened glass panel can take and what it cant.) armored glass on the other hand is laminated, multiple layer normal untoughened glass. partly because if you manage to break toughened glass it shatters into pinky tip sized pieces that are very hard to see thu. you do not want toughened glass in your armored glass panel.
That was probably a rubber baseball that's used in tee ball. Those are made so little kids don't get hurt while they learn how to play baseball. A perfect test of strength for such a special little guy's special little toy.
-30% less range + 30% higher cost = 100% dissatisfaction. Sounds about right for the times. p.s. exciting news! CyberTruck owners have discovered their Stainless Steel trucks are capable of changing color (rust stains) shortly after exposure to water. dealer mitigation consists of buffing out the blemishes which will return if a protective barrier hasn't been applied.
I remember being told once that if someone dings the paint on your car, you should touch it up IMMEDIATELY, because if you don't, the exposed spot will rust through surprisingly quickly. Cybertrucks don't have ANY paint. At all. Genius engineer Elongated One, everybody.
The 30X stainless steels (that includes V2A) are less corrosion resistant than 31X steels (like V4A). If you ever expect saltwater or bird dropping, uncoated 30X is a no-go. De-icing salt? Well, Elon Musks works on improving global warming, so we might not need it any more in the future! And funny how you "can't dent" the "special stainless steel", but how it's already kin of less than smooth when the Cybertruck comes right out of the factory...
"Scale that no company has ever achieved." I take it Elon has never heard of Willow Run. They built four engine B-24 liberators, which had over 1 million parts, and turned out 1 an hour. With 1940s technology!
If this is true that is truly impressive. And done by people with less than 0.0000001% of Musks intelligence. Of course, not as impressive as whatever Musk does, promises, or doesn't do, but impressive nonetheless.
I don't like the aesthetics of any electric car but the Cybertruck will be mentioned on the same list as the Aztek as some of the most ugly cars ever made.
I'm constantly shocked at the kind of false marketing that is allowed in the USA. The fake prices, the false promises, these would literally be illegal in my country. The USA has zero consumer protection. It's like the Wild Wild West in advertising.
I believe all of this is staged. I remember they used to have these events at Space X when a rocket took off, and I saw women gasping and crying in the "audience". Hmm...didn't this already happen in 1969, and it was a piece of cake?!
When he "forcefully" threw the "baseball" at the window I almost spit out my coffee. Shattering the window with the steel ball was awkward, but this was comedy gold.
The first one looked like it hit the metal below the glass too. But, why would they even do that with a baseball or fake baseball? It just make them look worse. They would have been better off just ignoring the strength of the glass and hope that no one remembered the first time when it broke.
The fact this guy isn't in jail for insider trading, false advertising and market manipulation is a testament to the fact the us Judicial system is a joke. A facsimile of real justice that applies heavily to poor people and stops working when you reach high enough wealth.
They sold us a vaccine that hadn't been properly tested yet and told us it stopped transmission when it didn't, after banning all the alternative therapies! Against that, Musk is small potatoes.
Whenever the stock tanks, he pulls a BS new product out of his carnival-barker sack. The stock rises, and he doesn't deliver. It has to be his minions who own the stock. They are as dumb and loyal, as MAGATS are to their NFT rapist.
I have high hopes accountability is coming. When, I don't know. But it will be during our lifetime. And not just Elon.... A lot of corruption slips through the cracks especially with the wealthy and well connected but at least in America good does usually prevail in the end. It just takes too long unfortunately.
From the 'X' fixation to the Cybertruck title in graffiti tag style, I wonder if all of Musk's marketing is aping what was considered "cool" in the mid 90s.
he's just pandering to millenial sensibilities. Which in itself is not really that bad, it's just marketing 101. You gotta recognize trends if you want to get ahead in market, and the most certain trend is going to be that the main customer base for consumer items is going to be 30-somethings so what is going to appeal to your main customers is going to be what the cool kids did 20 years ago. I guess the main thing is the general attitude of contempt and loathing towards millenials. because what the cybertruck essentially is, is that early 2000's scifi aesthetic slapped on a pretentious toy version of something that should be a quite significant asset on your daily life. With apparently full expectation that everyone it's targeted at is so meek and controllable that they just CONSOOM the product just because someone said on stage that he's a nerd like you i swear. Weirdly reminiscent of 2010's videogames.
@@sanghelian I'm a millennial, I grew up watching the X files and playing Tomb Raider 1 (from which the Cybertruck got its polygon count apparently), and all of this stuff haven't been a trend since 1998. Cool kids grew up and want cool stuff from our current day and age.
What exactly has Thunderfoot done? I know he has a whiny TH-cam channel where he EXPOSES FRAUD WITH FACTS AND LOGIC. But really. What has he done? He has a PhD in Chemistry from a no-name university, doesn’t have any notable papers published, and hasn’t invented anything. He’s great at being a whiny cunt on the sidelines criticizing people who are actually doing stuff. He’s a bit of a tool.
@mipmipmipmipmip cam goes back to 1957 cad 1960 solid modeling 1969 if you follow it all the way back, cup holders 1983. So Elon is a leader of hype edge design.

@Zigest There's a huge difference between mass producing (relatively) lightweight cars using machinery that can stamp out 4-6 body panels a minute and forming 3mm stainless steel into shape. If you've ever worked metal you'd know. This would not be easily mass produced but we'll never actually know as it won't get that far. What will happen is that the first (hand-assembled) few will be sold and those that are actually used instead of becoming garage queens will experience problems. They won't have the claimed range (you already have to buy a second battery that takes up half the load bed for that and even then it's not the range Musk first claimed). The bodywork will begin to tarnish as road grit (which contains flint and quartz which are both harder than stainless steel) and that's before the other systems show whether or not they are robust enough for everyday use. Oh, and let's not forget those 'bulletproof' windows that failed. Did you see the re-run where instead of a steel ball they used a tennis ball disguised as a baseball? Hilarious. Let's meet back here a year after the eventual release date, whenever that gets put back to.
Just some facts, the Euro NCAP tests for Teslas shows them the highest among all cars. The Tesla safety engineers know what they are doing, and have arguably the best track record in the auto industry for creating safe vehicles in a crash. Thunderfoot is a scientist, I wouldn't challenge his expertise in his field because I'm an engineer. He shouldn't be critical of engineering decisions when he doesn't fully understand them.
Seriously, trucks have changed a LOT in 100 years. If he's referring to a truck as a vehicle with a cab and a bed, then this hasn't changed that either, because that is what a pickup truck is! Get rid of either and it's not a pickup truck anymore.
Should have just painted it silver in the dark and claimed it was the same metal ball as before! That way, when it bounced we could have laughed to the moon!
@@theduckster1980don’t think that would hold up in court with false advertising, you can’t claim something Is thermonuclear proof then have it break to a metal ball, then claim you fixed it and throw a tennis ball disguised as a baseball at it. Even if it was a joke they should have just idk used a tenis ball because at least it wouldn’t be misleading.
It's a meat slicer on the outside and a death trap on the inside. This is the stuff lawsuits are made of. Sadly yes it will include some horrible deaths and injuries. And to top it off the thing is really ugly.
Recreating the smash test with a tennis ball is more embarrasing than the original fail. You can see it on the guys face. I bet he has nightmares about that.
A joke? Why did they use a fake baseball, if it was a joke they would have made it clear that it was a tennis ball or something softer than a baseball @qurqo
@@qurqo If it was supposed to be a joke, why use a fake baseball at all? Why not use an actual tennis ball, or tennis ball faked as a steel ball. The way it was set up makes no sense if it was supposed to be a joke, and we know for a fact that Elon and Tesla constantly fake things to make everything look better. Just look at the glass drop test at 9:51 and that all the clamps was undone so that the glass would flex and absorb the impact.
@Zigest ...because no one else tired to sell the cars trough pre-order seriously like ever? And that is not even a real pre-order, cause you still need to buy it, instead of receiving ready product for your pre-paid money.
@Zigest There is no way he will ever sell 2 million of those lemons in the USA. He can't sell them outside of the USA because they're such dangerous monstrosities. The two million figure is just more Elon BS.
I love the drop test on the “armored glass” you can clearly see the sheet glass bounce. Since the glass in the truck can’t bounce it can’t dissipate the energy from the impact so it cracks. The guy didn’t even throw the metal ball that hard, it just has lots of inertia.
Yeah, I’d never seen that part of the demo before… and it was immediately apparent why the same glass broke when actually mounted in a stiff frame instead of loosely mounted… lol
@@SeanPorterPDX Yes, I haven't seen this before, but it was immediately apparent: that energy has to go somewhere. How was this ball throwing demo included in the unveil event? Is it possible that they didn't get it and also didn't test this even once?
apparently what happened is that they had actually tested throwing the ball at the windows and it hadn't broken; but when they came to the demo, they had already hit the doors with sledge hammers, and this had the effect of loosening the shoddily inserted windows in their casings; thus they were less able to withstand the force of the blow
@@RichardHunter-m4uIt's the old saying, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. What happens if someone shoots the door first then the window?
It can't be sold anyway it doesn't meet safety regulations. It can't be modified it's intrinsic because of its flat panels. Weight wise it's not true electric vehicles can be heavier.
my drivers licence still allows me to drive anything up to 7,5 t. i think they changed that during the nineties, for everyone that got his licence after that. so quite a few old guys who would be allowed to drive a cybertruck, if it was safe and if anyone wanted it.
I would say a bigger issue is that most roads aren't designed to handle that amount of weight with such a small area of distribution.... ever seen what happens to a road where heavy trucks and busses turn a lot and it wasn't meant for it? the road starts warping in a way that looks like wax.
He's the same guy who broke the windows with a metal ball on the 1st demo. btw .... that's NOT a baseball. That "demo" was a real David Copperfield stage magic show.
"Trucks have been the same for 100 years, so we wanted to try something different." I believe another man said something similar about a submarine. Maybe there's a reason some things haven't changed much?
"Engineers said we can't do it." -- Elon Musk "Engineers said we can't do it." -- Stockton Rush So far, the Titan has killed more passengers than the Cybertruck so far. But I guess that was just luck. The Titan had room for 5 passengers, the Cybertruck for 6. Had the Cybertruck been "fully manned", six persons would have been incinerated.
'As a leader of the company, I've done more for the environment than any sigle human... Especially with every Falon 9 and Starship launch, which dump about 300 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per launch. Let me be clear, NO OTHER rocket company dumps that much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. None. And this is something we can do... NOW. You would have to be a fool to think that any other rocket company is generating as much CO2. That's like... owning a horse.' - Elon Musk.
@@AndrewSarchus-f2sgasgftter here,what are you trying to imply ? Ch4 comes from oil wells, it sits on top of the oil generally, there srr man made sources but ch4 is present anywhere organic decay happens. Its oropertiesas nentioned are 1 part carbon and 4 parts hydrogen.. this means nothing against its constituent values after combustion
@@AndrewSarchus-f2s Right. It's a fossil fuel. He talks about saving the planet and eliminating fossil fuel use, while at the same time burning obscene amounts of it with his rockets. Falcon 9 burns RP-1, which is kerosene, a fossil fuel, while Starship burns LNG (liquid natural gas, or methane).
@@MrDmadness That's right. So I'm "implying" that methalox rockets are largely carbon neutral. If you even think trace compounds in the atmosphere are any kind of problem in the first place that is.
The thick body panels are required for the flat angular design. Normally car's have lots of curves to make the thin panels stiffer. The problem with flat panels is they tend to vibrate in the wind unless they are ridiculously thick.🙂
Well, isn't that something someone who calls himself a genius and someone who knows more about production than anyone else on the planet should have thought of? Elon Musk is the King of Overpromising and Underachieving, as he does it over and over again. But finally, finally more and more people are catching on that Musk simply sells double baked air sandwiches.
Did you watch the video? They aren't thick at all in reality. PS Aircraft manage to use very thin flat panels that don't vibrate in the wind... certainly not at the speeds a road vehicle travels at.
What bothers me the most about the glass thing is that no ordinary person has even asked for toughened armored glass on their truck. If anything, normal car glass is safer since you can actually break it to get out of a car in a bind. Trying to design a glass that can't break on a car is dangerous and should be illegal if it isn't already.
I understand your point, but I think tougher glass is perfectly fine to stay legal. It gives extra protection against break-ins, I.E "Bipping" which has seen a stark rise in recent years.
Have you seen the crash test videos? It crumples the same way as other large trucks do. Just because it looks sharp and strong doesn’t mean it can’t crumple.
I wish to remind everyone that Tesla is currently fighting Swedish unions on their demand for collective bargaining rights. And Tesla is losing it badly. In fact, workers in the postal union has joined which means Tesla isn't getting any post in Sweden, including new licence plates.
LOL, without Unions everyone would be getting paid 5c an hour and living in a box. As an Australian who has been in many proud union movements that got everyone the rightful amount of pay they deserve, ''Unions suck, Good for Tesla'' is a comment that you can take to China and stay there@Zigest
Tesla buyers is getting the licence plates but they have to order the plates themself after getting the car so it will be about a week delay. The post embargo is illegal and Tesla is expected to win the case.
All we need to know about Elon is that he blames anybody but himself for his own failures. It's always because of somebody else. He caused advertisers to flee Twitter like rats from a sinking ship, and then he blamed the advertisers for fleeing rather than taking responsibility for the ship he sank, AS CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP. Imagine the Captain of the Titanic running to the life boats going "It wasn't me! The rats chewed the cables! They drank the fuel! They ate a hole in the side! It wasn't MEEEEEEEE!"
The mainstream media was already pushing the “Twitter is filled with Nazis now” propaganda before Elon even changed any of the content moderation policies. It’s all a coordinated effort to keep social media companies in line. The vast majority of our speech takes place online. I don’t really want to live in a world where advertisers control what I’m able to say.
It's actually worse, in your analogy Musk as captain would first berate everyone around him as he sailed directly into the iceberg claiming his ship could survive anything and bragging that he reinvented ships. Then even as they hit it and started to sink, half the people would cheer and clap as he abandoned them.
You sound deranged. Tesla makes the best and most popular electric vehicles in the world, not to mention the most popular car in general, the model Y. Cults are irrational, believing in whatever someone tells them to rather than obvious truths.
Nothing is unbreakable everything has a breaking point. So to say you have unbearable glass is a stupid claim plus isn’t unsafe what if you got into a crash and couldn’t get out because the glass wouldn’t break.
as a glassworker, the amount of stuff people and specially hollywood gets wrong about glass is truely irritating. armored glass is not unbreakable, its not meant to be unbreakable. the whole point is that as it breaks, bullets lose their kinetic energy to breaking the glass instead of penetrating it. its hard and brittle. toughened glass, which the panel where they drop the steel balls on can take much harder hits without shattering than the armored glass panels. but if you break it, it shatters into pinky tip sized pieces due to the internal stresses, and if you have that on top of armored glass, it pretty much becomes impossible to see thu. once it does break not to mention the amount of flex it has plays a part in its durability, which isnt the case with armored glass, its too thick to flex, so all the energy that goes into moving the panel goes into breaking it. so yeah, armored glass, easy to break, but good luck trying to break it enough to get anything inside the vehicle.
Confident means he has no clue about the real world and what real people want because trucks have been made for what real people want in trucks not what Elon Musk wants in a truck because if people wanted a bullet proof truck that would have been builtin trucks long ago if they wanted that designed into the truck
The part about cupholders being designed in CAD always cracks me up, congratulations your designers did design 😂 what's next, making Tesla tyres in a rubber factory?
Looking at the tires, I think he's just grabbing them from a junkyard somewhere and shipping his cars with them. And I do mean _he._ I could absolutely see Elon putting on gloves and a balaclava, jumping a half-fence in the night while humming his _I am a ninja_ theme song to himself and personally stealing old tires "like a badass". The only cognitive dissonance is that this would imply he does any actual work for himself, so I'd put the odds at 50/50.
Pretty sure any military would want a word if it actually was thermo nuclear proof... amazing laws that he still isn't bankrupt and in prison for the rest of his life.
The ability of this cult leader to keep the Muskboys enthralled in the face of repeated failures is quite astonishing, the denouement will be memorable. So many Muskboys will need therapy after their cult collapses.
Except for SpaceX. That is beyond astonishing. They as a private company are launching more mass to orbit than the rest of the World combined - and by a massive margin.
@AndyGKaufman Musk doesn't have a trillion $ empire, the moron overpaid for twitter then proceeded to devalue it further. Space X is only afloat because of massive taxpayer funded subsidies which he will no longer be getting.
@AndyGKaufman Nah, I don’t touch anything that Elon does. How he hasn’t been arrested for stock manipulation, and defrauding is beyond me. Guess he’s been paying off the right people. And I didn’t even know about thunderfoot 10 years ago. Sorry to disappoint ya.
They will cheer for anything, literally seen them cheering and clapping like there was a huge success while watching one of spacex's rockets fail to separate and explode complete fail and they still have no idea why.
The "thermonuclear explosion proof glass" gives me so much cringe that I think if I watch it 3 times in a row, my life expectancy will be reduced by 1 year
I cannot believe the number of people these days that do not have the ability to think for themselves and the number of grown men that stand around and go "woo woo" after every word uttered by a massive BS artist.
"it didn't go through.....It didn't go through" 🤣🤣 What a con. Note during the drop test, their colleagues are actually LOOSENING the clamps for the higher drops so the movement absorbs the impact. Shameless
Not gonna lie. In response to the clip of him saying, "I've done more for the environment than any human on earth," my instinct is to punch him in the face rather than Jonah Jameson laugh at him.
Which is hilarious when you you know the SpaceX "starbase" is situated next to a protected nature reserve which is home to numerous endangered plant and animal species. Which gets polluted regularly by his test fires and exploding test articles.
In a lot of countries, you aren't even allowed to drive a car this heavy unless you have a truck license. Something insanely expensive to get, unless you are a professional driver and your company pays for it. That will be great for sales!
Americans would consider a regular driving licence insanely expensive to get here in Germany. Prices are currently at 3-4k Euro (roughly the same as the usd, but Euro is worth 9% more)
@@DON666 similarly important for me is that they teach OTHERS to drive here. I wouldn't wanna share the road with someone who isn't trained and examined.
@@DON666I mean they do teach you how to drive if you get in while you're still young enough to be in the graduated license program, you have to pay a couple hundred for drivers Ed, but yeah, I really wish we didn't just think maturity of age is suitable substitute for education, even if you do gotta pass one quick exam 💀
As a euro that depitcs that every american is always sueing someone, I wonder how a company can build a rolling stainless steel slicer that not only will severly hurt pedestrians but also the people inside it. Tesla had the record of being one of the safest vehicles but they threw so much away for the " cool look" that has no benefits. Pedestrians will get hurt, accidents will happen with bad results. Why produce such a huge liability?
It was a customers vehicle at a delivery event. They were never going to throw a steel ball at it. The owner was standing right next to it. This is too much thinking for haters though. Unfortunately for Thunderfake this Truck is sold out for three years easily.
@@simpleton8148wait, your reasoning is like saying they didn't throw water on a raincoat because it was a customer's. If they advertise the glass is strong to withstand a metal ball, then it's within specs to withstand it a metal ball regardless if it is a customer's or not. Just don't throw any balm and retract the statements about it
Those safety features won't be standard. The Cybertruck will be able to pulverize concrete obstacles to protect it's driver from head trauma and a ruptured spleen. It will also have an automated, built in pedestrian counter for the laughs.
Ok I used to do studies on steel and in a way... Sure some steels are produced that had never been made before in that exact composition. But yeah calling it a whole new metal is very silly. Very very silly.
According to an unconfirmed source, it's DIN 1.4310 (X10CrNi18-8), also known as AISI 301 or V2A. More vulnerable to corrosion than for example V4A or AISI 31X steels. Saltwater would be a killer. Versuchsschmelze 2 Austenit (V2A) was patented in Germany more than 100 years ago. Surprisingly, Elon Musk is nowhere mentioned in the patent. Anyway, this is the preferred stainless steel for automotive applications (like stainless steel mufflers). DIN 1.4401 (X5CrNiMo17-12-2), aka AISI 316 or V4A, can be stamped and is more resistent against corrosion. You might find it in marine applications. I guess it was too expensive for Musk. Note that the German standards specify tighter tolerances on the composition than the AISI standards. Maybe Elon Musk *did* really invent a new steel...similar to AISI 301, but with "extended tolerances"? Sorry Mr. Musk, "second winner" again.

If you thought that incident was embarrassing, just wait till you find out that guy is the Chief Designer at Tesla and the Cybertruck was his brain child.
Yes,if he'd thrown it with any less effort it would have just dropped to the floor.But it's ok now they've fixed the glass by using a softer lighter ball.PS.It's still bullet proof.
Omg that was hilarious plus the fact the lighting did not capture his face so he was speaking in the dark lmao. If this was scripted in a comedic movie it wouldn’t have felt believable lol.
Nice it has no crumple zones. Might as well drive a 52 Buick. It can be "recharged" in 5 minutes, it runs, easier to get serviced than a Tesla, costs half as much and you get all the benefits of Tesla's no-crumple technology. 😂
Not a chance even though I wish you the best of luck,but I can see "E-troll" pack the room with musK-Rats. So it it have to be a 1on1 debate, futile because ETrollKing must of flunked math.
Something else no one is mentioning. Flat panels, flat glass, brushed metal, unibody design are all factors to cut costs. Case in point, the DeLorean was originally supposed to be painted but after ~30 they switched to the brushed steel to save money. Flat panels and glass is cheap to buy and make. One big reason why companies don't stick to flat designs is to make parts proprietary. So a cracked windshield goes from $50 to buy to $500. So with that in mind it screams cheap to me. Hell I won't be surprised that single light bar for the headlights is significantly cheaper than 2 regular headlights.
Here's the thing: It's actually really really hard to do flat, angular panels like the cybertruck. It's really expensive, and stupid too. I was behind one on my way to work about a week ago, and the panel fit was terrible, it looked like crap. Also the delorean was all 3 series stainless steel body panels, so paint was basically unnecessary.
In reality most companies will update a design every 6 months and every year they tell you it’s been refreshed. It’s difficult to do one design for a year as parts change or become expensive and difficult to source. Even the wheel has been reinvented many times, most famously by an Irish guy called Dunlop putting a rubber blow up pillow around it. The Cybertruck may not have that level of madness but a 48v electrical system and an ethernet based cam bus are things we’ll see in other vehicles. The stainless exoskeleton might be the straw that breaks this camels back, as it will be very difficult to mass produce.
If you watch carefully, he always uses weasel language, "We think," "We believe," etc. Which means, to prove fraud, not simply infer it we the public are doing here, Justice has prove that Musk never thought or believed it. And to that end, Justice needs someone on the inside to betray him, to say in court that no one, absolutely no one, at the company ever thought or stated that to Elon.
He’s singing to different audiences. Sure he says these things but none of what he says trumps the sale contract for each vehicle. The customer will be presented with a unique proposition at point of sale.
I have a strong feeling it is coming. As slow as the wheels of justice turn and the rich and well connected are certainly priviledged.. they do turn and never stop. They just can be delayed. Ask our ex president.
this makes me mad because this means automakers can literally make 70s and 80s cars in america with boxy designs and theyd still be safer than this PoS!
The Lightning's top trim option is the only one in the same price range as the cybertruck which is sort of amazing. Would you rather spend ~$100k on a truck from Ford with their century of experience or from Tesla who struggled to figure out what a truck was?
14:45 - the baby crying in the background tells it all. But now seriously - whose genius idea was to bring baby to the car delivery show?! Sometimes people are just weird.... but it does add fitting background to it all.
I can't wait to see how Tesla deals with the PR disaster after one of the trucks actually does literally cut someone in half, regardless of how sad that would be.
Question: which would you prefer? option 1: the cybertruck turns out to be extremely dangerous and causes hundreds of pedestrian deaths and ruins Musk's reputation option 2: It turns out the cybertruck is actually very safe and it goes on to become a bestseller, earning Tesla tens of billions in revenue
@@jean-lucpicard5510 option 2 is literally impossible. There's a reason why nobody beside Musk builds trucks like this. If it was a superior design, we would at least have a few working designs already on the road. We don't. Because this design is stupid, expensive and not safe for ANYONE involved.
@fortissears5388 I was under the impression that the original poster was using sarcasm. Cybetruck is not viable and does not have any advantages over traditional hauiling units. The factories they use will run off petroleum based power plants, or nuclear, which in my mind is better, since it is renewable.
You were way too generous to Musk about the range extender. You didn't mention the fact that that item has no scheduled delivery date at all, likely will never exist, and even if it does, will probably deliver half the range at twice the price as was listed. As for the stainless steel, it may not even be three mm, knowing Tesla it's probably 1.5 which they claim is three

I like how none of the designers knew that car windows are SUPPOSED to shatter, so you aren't trapped inside if the doors are stuck or something.
And especially bulletproof glass is supposed to get spiderweb cracks, to dissipate the energy of the bullet to stop it before it goes through the glass.
oh, they knew.. But do you think that matters?
They dont care about safty, they just wanna scam people.
The designers knew but Elon did not?
Or they probably just got shouted down by Elon... he's the kind of boss that will say things like "I don't care, just make it happen"

A 3mm steel hood (in a crash) would deform for the first few milliseconds then release from the front end, break the hinge mounts and scythe back thru the passenger compartment. A bullet won't get you but a front end collision would decapitate everybody. "Genius" at work......
Well up side, at lest no one has to worry how to break the glass if their body is already in two peaces 😊
But the real question? How fast can that truck go? Wasn't it like 6,669 lbs. That's pretty heavy think they would be dead by the impact before they get cut in half by the hood. But I feel more sorry for the other car.
Most funny is, how many people is killed in car accidents compare to killed by bullets shoting when u sit in your car around the world? I presume that is around 10 000 to 1 or something. Musk thinks bullet proof car is the best thing... He is frankly stupid

The idiots in the audience? The idiot audience or the audience of idiots might have encapsulated all of them.
Someone should tell Elon Musk what "bulletproof glass" means.
Bulletproof glass just stops bullets. The glass absorbs the kinetic energy of the bullet, so the bullet stop and therefore doesn't travel through the glass. During the absorption, the glass (actually glass-plastic compound) changes shape. Just like the crumple zone of - it sacrifices itself to protect you from going to pieces.
Sadly, "the smartest man on Earth" seems to have forgotten that constant learning is what keeps you smart. Like, ya know, checking the Wikipedia article about bulletproof glass before you try funny things.
Well, of course, Musk's failed demonstration just provided more free marketing. I must admit I fell for it. Can't wait to buy the Cybertruck, $40000, 500+ miles range *and* as fast as a Porsche (yes, *and,* not *or,* 210+ mph for 500+ miles straight!).

regular toughened glass can take a steel ball drop impact with relative ease. partially because of the amount a toughened glass can flex before breaking. (youtube comment section does not like links but search for "News Reporter Can't Break Into Car FAIL!" for some lols and demonstrration of what a toughened glass panel can take and what it cant.)
armored glass on the other hand is laminated, multiple layer normal untoughened glass. partly because if you manage to break toughened glass it shatters into pinky tip sized pieces that are very hard to see thu. you do not want toughened glass in your armored glass panel.

From the 'X' fixation to the Cybertruck title in graffiti tag style, I wonder if all of Musk's marketing is aping what was considered "cool" in the mid 90s.
Not to mention the prefix "cyber", which screams 1996-2000.
he's just pandering to millenial sensibilities. Which in itself is not really that bad, it's just marketing 101. You gotta recognize trends if you want to get ahead in market, and the most certain trend is going to be that the main customer base for consumer items is going to be 30-somethings so what is going to appeal to your main customers is going to be what the cool kids did 20 years ago.
I guess the main thing is the general attitude of contempt and loathing towards millenials.
because what the cybertruck essentially is, is that early 2000's scifi aesthetic slapped on a pretentious toy version of something that should be a quite significant asset on your daily life. With apparently full expectation that everyone it's targeted at is so meek and controllable that they just CONSOOM the product just because someone said on stage that he's a nerd like you i swear.

@Zigest There's a huge difference between mass producing (relatively) lightweight cars using machinery that can stamp out 4-6 body panels a minute and forming 3mm stainless steel into shape.
If you've ever worked metal you'd know. This would not be easily mass produced but we'll never actually know as it won't get that far. What will happen is that the first (hand-assembled) few will be sold and those that are actually used instead of becoming garage queens will experience problems.
They won't have the claimed range (you already have to buy a second battery that takes up half the load bed for that and even then it's not the range Musk first claimed).
The bodywork will begin to tarnish as road grit (which contains flint and quartz which are both harder than stainless steel) and that's before the other systems show whether or not they are robust enough for everyday use.
Oh, and let's not forget those 'bulletproof' windows that failed. Did you see the re-run where instead of a steel ball they used a tennis ball disguised as a baseball? Hilarious.

@@theduckster1980don’t think that would hold up in court with false advertising, you can’t claim something Is thermonuclear proof then have it break to a metal ball, then claim you fixed it and throw a tennis ball disguised as a baseball at it.
Even if it was a joke they should have just idk used a tenis ball because at least it wouldn’t be misleading.
Pretty sure a real baseball would break the glass too, those things are hard.
my biggest issue with this thing is the safety aspect. I am sure there will be no big headlines about it, but the coming crashes will be horrid
Oh, you can bet that the first one to crash will make headlines, just like every Tesla car fire does.
It's a meat slicer on the outside and a death trap on the inside. This is the stuff lawsuits are made of. Sadly yes it will include some horrible deaths and injuries. And to top it off the thing is really ugly.
Fortunately it would not be allowed on UK roads (at least) because of its sharp corners.
I wonder if they will get recalled if they can be proven to disproportionately cause injury and death
this will be another best in class safety car. like all other teslas. but we wont hear anything from the tesla haters about it
Recreating the smash test with a tennis ball is more embarrasing than the original fail. You can see it on the guys face. I bet he has nightmares about that.
It clearly was a joke. If you didn't zsuffer from EDS you would notice that.
A joke? Why did they use a fake baseball, if it was a joke they would have made it clear that it was a tennis ball or something softer than a baseball @qurqo
@qurqo your right, the truck is a joke.
@@qurqo If it was supposed to be a joke, why use a fake baseball at all? Why not use an actual tennis ball, or tennis ball faked as a steel ball. The way it was set up makes no sense if it was supposed to be a joke, and we know for a fact that Elon and Tesla constantly fake things to make everything look better. Just look at the glass drop test at 9:51 and that all the clamps was undone so that the glass would flex and absorb the impact.

I love the drop test on the “armored glass” you can clearly see the sheet glass bounce. Since the glass in the truck can’t bounce it can’t dissipate the energy from the impact so it cracks. The guy didn’t even throw the metal ball that hard, it just has lots of inertia.
Yeah, I’d never seen that part of the demo before… and it was immediately apparent why the same glass broke when actually mounted in a stiff frame instead of loosely mounted… lol
@@SeanPorterPDX Yes, I haven't seen this before, but it was immediately apparent: that energy has to go somewhere.
How was this ball throwing demo included in the unveil event? Is it possible that they didn't get it and also didn't test this even once?
apparently what happened is that they had actually tested throwing the ball at the windows and it hadn't broken; but when they came to the demo, they had already hit the doors with sledge hammers, and this had the effect of loosening the shoddily inserted windows in their casings; thus they were less able to withstand the force of the blow
Uhh...glass can't bounce idiot what are you babbling about?
@@RichardHunter-m4uIt's the old saying, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. What happens if someone shoots the door first then the window?
@11:20 it's a teeball. It's a soft squishy baseball resembling sport ball for 4 year olds to use in games so they don't hurt themselves.
I like it. Having no door handles and reinforced glass, you're sure whoever's inside when it inevitable catches fire, stays there.
No witnesses
Doubles as a human BBQ 😅
Someone tried it. Turns out that you are right.
Wait, the Cybertruck is even too heavy for a normal European Car drivers license? I didn't realise that before.
It can't be sold anyway it doesn't meet safety regulations. It can't be modified it's intrinsic because of its flat panels. Weight wise it's not true electric vehicles can be heavier.
Not only Cyber Truck - largest electric vehicles start to test 3.5t limit. Cause ecology, you know.
my drivers licence still allows me to drive anything up to 7,5 t. i think they changed that during the nineties, for everyone that got his licence after that. so quite a few old guys who would be allowed to drive a cybertruck, if it was safe and if anyone wanted it.
I would say a bigger issue is that most roads aren't designed to handle that amount of weight with such a small area of distribution.... ever seen what happens to a road where heavy trucks and busses turn a lot and it wasn't meant for it? the road starts warping in a way that looks like wax.
@@DykaddaYes, it's not an issue when you are in a car, but riding through that ruined pavement on a motorcycle is truly dangerous.
Funny, that baseball didn't even hit the window - it hit the door, which is why it bounced up.
'foam/rubber ball'
the guy with throwing a ball was for sure not confident to not brake the window again :D
His job was on the line..
He's the same guy who broke the windows with a metal ball on the 1st demo. btw .... that's NOT a baseball. That "demo" was a real David Copperfield stage magic show.

The thick body panels are required for the flat angular design. Normally car's have lots of curves to make the thin panels stiffer. The problem with flat panels is they tend to vibrate in the wind unless they are ridiculously thick.🙂
Well, isn't that something someone who calls himself a genius and someone who knows more about production than anyone else on the planet should have thought of?
Elon Musk is the King of Overpromising and Underachieving, as he does it over and over again. But finally, finally more and more people are catching on that Musk simply sells double baked air sandwiches.
Did you watch the video? They aren't thick at all in reality. PS Aircraft manage to use very thin flat panels that don't vibrate in the wind... certainly not at the speeds a road vehicle travels at.

Thanks for posting and educating the world about the stupidity of the Cybertruck.
What bothers me the most about the glass thing is that no ordinary person has even asked for toughened armored glass on their truck. If anything, normal car glass is safer since you can actually break it to get out of a car in a bind. Trying to design a glass that can't break on a car is dangerous and should be illegal if it isn't already.
we literally have bullet proof glass that people can put on their cars wtf you mean it should be illegal
Are you serious?! How can you have a hipster Mad Max truck without tough (not really) glass?
Why should it be illegal? Some people probably want the protection of the glass
I understand your point, but I think tougher glass is perfectly fine to stay legal. It gives extra protection against break-ins, I.E "Bipping" which has seen a stark rise in recent years.
That's a remarkable observation, is the truck waterproof? I heard it can sail. I think Elon has failed.
Full steel body + no crumple zones + incredibly fast acceleration + a self driving feature that's prone to hit people = yeah he built a muder bot.
Correction: a murder-suicide bot
😂
honstly no, the driver should be more or less safe if it hits another car.@@Croter8ment
Have you seen the crash test videos? It crumples the same way as other large trucks do. Just because it looks sharp and strong doesn’t mean it can’t crumple.

I wish to remind everyone that Tesla is currently fighting Swedish unions on their demand for collective bargaining rights. And Tesla is losing it badly. In fact, workers in the postal union has joined which means Tesla isn't getting any post in Sweden, including new licence plates.
LOL, without Unions everyone would be getting paid 5c an hour and living in a box. As an Australian who has been in many proud union movements that got everyone the rightful amount of pay they deserve, ''Unions suck, Good for Tesla'' is a comment that you can take to China and stay there@Zigest
Yep. In true form, Elon approached it like a cocky prick and is now losing his ass.
The other Nordic countries have joined in too, forcing super-slow shipments via trucks, through Germany.
Tesla buyers is getting the licence plates but they have to order the plates themself after getting the car so it will be about a week delay. The post embargo is illegal and Tesla is expected to win the case.

All we need to know about Elon is that he blames anybody but himself for his own failures. It's always because of somebody else.
He caused advertisers to flee Twitter like rats from a sinking ship, and then he blamed the advertisers for fleeing rather than taking responsibility for the ship he sank, AS CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP. Imagine the Captain of the Titanic running to the life boats going "It wasn't me! The rats chewed the cables! They drank the fuel! They ate a hole in the side! It wasn't MEEEEEEEE!"
The mainstream media was already pushing the “Twitter is filled with Nazis now” propaganda before Elon even changed any of the content moderation policies. It’s all a coordinated effort to keep social media companies in line.
The vast majority of our speech takes place online. I don’t really want to live in a world where advertisers control what I’m able to say.
It's actually worse, in your analogy Musk as captain would first berate everyone around him as he sailed directly into the iceberg claiming his ship could survive anything and bragging that he reinvented ships. Then even as they hit it and started to sink, half the people would cheer and clap as he abandoned them.

At this point Elon Musk knows more than anyone else in the world about manufacturing glass
about shattering glass
Nothing is unbreakable everything has a breaking point. So to say you have unbearable glass is a stupid claim plus isn’t unsafe what if you got into a crash and couldn’t get out because the glass wouldn’t break.
@@ryans413 Well at least you would get a honourable mention at the darwin awards.
@@ryans413 According to Musk, it could withstand a nuclear explosion. Turns out, it's just glass.
as a glassworker, the amount of stuff people and specially hollywood gets wrong about glass is truely irritating.
armored glass is not unbreakable, its not meant to be unbreakable. the whole point is that as it breaks, bullets lose their kinetic energy to breaking the glass instead of penetrating it.
its hard and brittle.
toughened glass, which the panel where they drop the steel balls on can take much harder hits without shattering than the armored glass panels.
but if you break it, it shatters into pinky tip sized pieces due to the internal stresses, and if you have that on top of armored glass, it pretty much becomes impossible to see thu. once it does break
not to mention the amount of flex it has plays a part in its durability, which isnt the case with armored glass, its too thick to flex, so all the energy that goes into moving the panel goes into breaking it.
so yeah, armored glass, easy to break, but good luck trying to break it enough to get anything inside the vehicle.
How Tesla and Elon have avoided being sued for false advertising is beyond me.

Looking at the tires, I think he's just grabbing them from a junkyard somewhere and shipping his cars with them. And I do mean _he._ I could absolutely see Elon putting on gloves and a balaclava, jumping a half-fence in the night while humming his _I am a ninja_ theme song to himself and personally stealing old tires "like a badass". The only cognitive dissonance is that this would imply he does any actual work for himself, so I'd put the odds at 50/50.

“This metal didn’t exist before” wtf?
Ok I used to do studies on steel and in a way... Sure some steels are produced that had never been made before in that exact composition.
But yeah calling it a whole new metal is very silly. Very very silly.
According to an unconfirmed source, it's DIN 1.4310 (X10CrNi18-8), also known as AISI 301 or V2A. More vulnerable to corrosion than for example V4A or AISI 31X steels. Saltwater would be a killer. Versuchsschmelze 2 Austenit (V2A) was patented in Germany more than 100 years ago. Surprisingly, Elon Musk is nowhere mentioned in the patent. Anyway, this is the preferred stainless steel for automotive applications (like stainless steel mufflers).
DIN 1.4401 (X5CrNiMo17-12-2), aka AISI 316 or V4A, can be stamped and is more resistent against corrosion. You might find it in marine applications. I guess it was too expensive for Musk.
Note that the German standards specify tighter tolerances on the composition than the AISI standards. Maybe Elon Musk *did* really invent a new steel...similar to AISI 301, but with "extended tolerances"?
Sorry Mr. Musk, "second winner" again. China had accomplished that feat quite a few decades ago already.

I expect TF has made a better ROI than Elon, but Elon does have a much bigger sunk cost.
Something else no one is mentioning. Flat panels, flat glass, brushed metal, unibody design are all factors to cut costs. Case in point, the DeLorean was originally supposed to be painted but after ~30 they switched to the brushed steel to save money. Flat panels and glass is cheap to buy and make. One big reason why companies don't stick to flat designs is to make parts proprietary. So a cracked windshield goes from $50 to buy to $500.
So with that in mind it screams cheap to me. Hell I won't be surprised that single light bar for the headlights is significantly cheaper than 2 regular headlights.
Here's the thing: It's actually really really hard to do flat, angular panels like the cybertruck. It's really expensive, and stupid too. I was behind one on my way to work about a week ago, and the panel fit was terrible, it looked like crap.
Also the delorean was all 3 series stainless steel body panels, so paint was basically unnecessary.
@@life_of_riley88 Cyberjunk is like an iPhone, all you really pay for is the brand.
So now all tesla has to do is convince the owners that it's illegal to use off the shelf flat panels to repair their cars.
It's almost like once a good design is figured out they stick with that design for a good reason.
Then: If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Now: If it ain't broke, *_FIX IT 'TILL IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!_*
In reality most companies will update a design every 6 months and every year they tell you it’s been refreshed. It’s difficult to do one design for a year as parts change or become expensive and difficult to source. Even the wheel has been reinvented many times, most famously by an Irish guy called Dunlop putting a rubber blow up pillow around it. The Cybertruck may not have that level of madness but a 48v electrical system and an ethernet based cam bus are things we’ll see in other vehicles. The stainless exoskeleton might be the straw that breaks this camels back, as it will be very difficult to mass produce.

If you watch carefully, he always uses weasel language, "We think," "We believe," etc. Which means, to prove fraud, not simply infer it we the public are doing here, Justice has prove that Musk never thought or believed it. And to that end, Justice needs someone on the inside to betray him, to say in court that no one, absolutely no one, at the company ever thought or stated that to Elon.
He’s singing to different audiences. Sure he says these things but none of what he says trumps the sale contract for each vehicle. The customer will be presented with a unique proposition at point of sale.

The Lightning's top trim option is the only one in the same price range as the cybertruck which is sort of amazing. Would you rather spend ~$100k on a truck from Ford with their century of experience or from Tesla who struggled to figure out what a truck was?
14:45 - the baby crying in the background tells it all. But now seriously - whose genius idea was to bring baby to the car delivery show?! Sometimes people are just weird.... but it does add fitting background to it all.
I actually saw a Cyber Truck on the road this past Wednesday. I laughed my ass off.
From the bus stop bench?
@@watchdog163 Driving on South 45, just South of Dallas.
Saw one exiting Houston on 290 recently. It was pulling off the shoulder after receiving roadside assistance lol
I can't wait to see how Tesla deals with the PR disaster after one of the trucks actually does literally cut someone in half, regardless of how sad that would be.
Question: which would you prefer?
option 1: the cybertruck turns out to be extremely dangerous and causes hundreds of pedestrian deaths and ruins Musk's reputation
option 2: It turns out the cybertruck is actually very safe and it goes on to become a bestseller, earning Tesla tens of billions in revenue
@@appa609Option 2 is the outcome in reality.
@@jean-lucpicard5510 option 2 is literally impossible. There's a reason why nobody beside Musk builds trucks like this. If it was a superior design, we would at least have a few working designs already on the road. We don't. Because this design is stupid, expensive and not safe for ANYONE involved.
@fortissears5388 I was under the impression that the original poster was using sarcasm. Cybetruck is not viable and does not have any advantages over traditional hauiling units. The factories they use will run off petroleum based power plants, or nuclear, which in my mind is better, since it is renewable.
@@jean-lucpicard5510 I see, thank you for the input. I did not realize the OP was writing in jest. Cheers!
Cybertruck delivers failure? Imagine the lack of shock or surprise.
It would probably be late with that delivery too because it got stuck.
I expected this failure years ago. Damn it delivered late
there's more shock in the frontal collision crash test than in this failure
Faliure is the only thing this monstrosity will deliver reliably.
@@onesquirrel2713 Failure. And deaths and fire.
You were way too generous to Musk about the range extender. You didn't mention the fact that that item has no scheduled delivery date at all, likely will never exist, and even if it does, will probably deliver half the range at twice the price as was listed.
As for the stainless steel, it may not even be three mm, knowing Tesla it's probably 1.5 which they claim is three
It's 1.8mm on the doors and 1.4mm everywhere else. But it's still bulletproof.
@@johntheux9238 for incredibly small calibers of bullet fired at long range. That said that would still make it illegal to sell in many countries. But I'm sure they will tell the regulators that it is not bulletproof while telling their customers that it is, just like they tell their customers it can drive itself while telling regulators that it never will.
