The Cybertruck versus simple projectiles - who will win? Shockingly, it's not the final resting place molded treated steel electric vehicle, in spite of what Elon Musk says. Indeed, Tesla made a video displaying the entryways of the Tesla pickup truck being shot at from short proximity, with a Submachine gun and a 9mm gun, prior to crashing off toward the distant horizon seared yet safe. Indeed, the web chose to put the Cybertruck knight wayward in glossy shield to a genuine test against a few guns.
Last November, during a public interview, Elon Musk focused on one of the Cybertruck's commended highlights - specifically, its evident detachment to shots. Embed little print here and make an interpretation of that into 'the entryways' 3-mm-thick sheet metal can stop little and medium type low-speed slugs.' Notwithstanding, there's one significant break in that sensible build: different weapons are out there.
That is the reason Zack Nelson, the host of the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel, took one Cybertruck to the discharging reach and shot it on various occasions with various type weapons, from the .17 type to the .50-cal Barrett. In the November video, the Cybertruck was shot at with a 9mm gun. Subsequently, the principal round (quip planned) in this 'scratch test video' has a place with a Glock 19.
After 15 projectiles, the treated steel Tesla is as yet sealed shut and has no additional openings than when it left the production line. Up to this point, the maker's cases satisfy the limited time video - the sheet metal imprints however stops the little shots.
With handguns cleared, the YouTubers go to rifles for a superior fired and take a little .22 type (5.58mm) against the Cybertruck's entryway. Obviously, the birdshot speed of the little projectiles just incurs unimportant knocks for the 30x cold-moved tempered steel. With a gag speed of 1,000 ft/sec (305 m/sec), the little .22 doesn't have the dynamic energy expected to infiltrate the 1/8-inch hard steel sheet.
A .17 (4.31 mm) round leaving the barrel at 2,500 ft/sec (762 m/sec) has no issue placing an opening in the Cybertruck's unbeatable entryway. In any case, it stops just after it punctures the metal without having the ability to make a leave 'twisted.' Up to this point, Musk's supposed bulletproofness hypothesis holds water - just barely. Nonetheless, the Foal AR-15 most likely hasn't been educated that the Cybertruck should shield its inhabitants from attack rifles.
The well known self loading weapon torches generally official cases with a 5.56-mm-width (.223-cal) break in the Tesla reinforcement. Hardened steel might be powerful against demolition hammers and shopping baskets, and it will try and stop low-energy projectiles, however that is comparably high as it will go. At the point when serious weapons are positioned and loaded, the Cybertruck is no more safeguarding than a flyswat.
Rigorously for entertainment only, the YouTuber tests a powerful .50-cal Barrett sharpshooter rifle against his own $100k EV truck. The 12.77mm BMG round has a long history of being an extremely powerful weapons against a wide range of weighty measure steel focuses, from train rails to shoot hydrants to strong steel plates. Obviously, the Tesla pickup respects the enormous capability of the 'shoulder big guns' in this not-really intricate however exceptionally viable field trial of the defensive layer defense of the most discussed pickup truck of the thousand years.
