It probably doesn't matter if they are actually bulletproof. They'll be used as propaganda show cars, or personal vehicles for the brass, and never called into actual service.
No one in their right mind is going to pick the "bulletproof" cybertruck over an armored Bearcat in a scenario where they expect to be shot at. For non-tactical applications they're no more or less bulletproof than a standard potrol vehicle.
You sure about that? I mean, they're made of thin stainless steel glued to a plastic shell.
Yeah. Any car that isn't armored should be assumed 0% bulletproof. I wouldn't trust a car door to protect me from a .22.
The engine block is the only thing on a regular cop car that would reliably stop, deflect, or at least slow most bullets.
I think you missed the whoosh
And yet it also missed on cybertruck.
