The video of Ross's test sparked a lively debate on social media about the safety and durability of Tesla vehicles.
In the comment section, many users expressed their shock at the incredible bullet resistance, while others suggested that the high price is justified by the Cybertruck's resilience, which has been a topic of discussion.
One person said: Wrap it black; it might start shooting back
A second wrote: You are the greatest of all time. Id leave it looking like Al Capone's Cybertruck if he had one . Shit is so mofo bad ass
While a third commented: Here he is shooting a shotgun!!! Damn these cyber trucks are built right!
Someone else said: Shoot another vehicle (any brand) to show the impact on other vehicles.
Another added: Imagine being so rich u can just shoot shotguns at unreleased cars
Although Adin Ross's tests confirmed the Cybertruck's bullet-resistant capabilities, it's important to note that such experiments are not recommended. This test is not only dangerous but also a waste of money.
However, it is clear that the Cybertruck successfully withstood the gunfire, reaffirming its robust design and the claims made by Tesla during its reveal.
This is the first time the Cybertruck has remained intact after an accident.
Recently, a separate incident shared on Reddit by user u/sjadam showed a Cybertruck significantly damaged by a semi-truck trailer. The vehicle, which had been in the owner's possession for just a week, resembled a smashed Lego toy with a broken window and scattered body parts.
However, many were stunned by this post, which reignited discussions about the safety and durability of Tesla vehicles.
Despite the damage, the Cybertruck’s resilience in the face of such a forceful impact further underscores its robustness.
