    Even if not, I doubt competitors are “shitting their pants” over this. Can’t say the bulletproofness rating topped the list of features I was looking for in my next car purchase

        More important will be the ability to repair it yourself when things inevitably break. Given that musk is insanely petty and political, you would need to count on whittling Tesla parts from a piece of wood.

          Or the fact that Cyber trucks rarely make it more than a few hundred miles (if that) before they shut themselves off. Also, if you are ever in an accident and it loses power, it may very well lock you in the vehicle while it burns you to death.

            (Pre morning coffee brainwave)

            If someone wants DIY fix their Cybertruck, they should consider adding an isolated, self powered emergency door release mechanism. With explosive bolts. Now that would make it cyberpunk as fuck. Wait, that makes it more vulnerable to weapon fire. Shit now I really need my coffee

          He can just shut it down if you’ve gone to [insert any liberal location Musk decides on]. Those things are tracking you and have remote everything that Tesla can control.
