Tesla fired dozens of machine gun rounds into a Cybertruck according to Musk and claims none of them penetrated the cabin
Tesla has just five weeks left before it starts customer deliveries of the long-awaited Cybertruck and shortly after taking two prototypes down the Baja peninsula, the carmaker has put the truck’s bulletproof body panels to the test. A member of the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley club recently stumbled across a Cybertruck prototype that had been riddled with gunshots.

It’s entirely possible that the rounds of a more modern gun would have easily pierced the cold-rolled stainless-steel skin of the Cybertruck.
