Summary
A Tesla Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont last November, killing three college students after hitting a cement wall and bursting into flames.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) attributed the crash to intoxication and high speed but found that the victims likely died from the fire.
Testimony revealed the vehicle’s doors would not open after the crash, preventing rescue attempts. A survivor was pulled out after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch.
The CHP’s investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
The glass is not bullet proof.
The stainless steel doors are small caliber bullet proof.
Resistant
There is no guarantee to stop even a small caliber
Small caliber at high velocity would go straight through
You could say a thick metal wall is small caliber bullet proof because no matter what velocity, the small chunk of metal is never passing through a few decimeters of solid metal.
Small caliber piercing round at high velocity, straight through the stainless steel door.
Slap some plastic on that bad boy
You’d really trust that as a bullet shield?
Normal 9mm across the street. Probably going through
There are plenty of videos out there showing it stopping repeated 9mm bullets. But you’re right, the velocity will also come into play.
Yeah, I watched one from official Tesla youtube where the guy shot it with a bunch of stuff.
It did stop the 9mm with the rounds they chose
The buck shot pierced the door and cracked the window because it was rolled down.
Buck shot is smaller caliber with higher velocity.
I need to find a video of someone trying to get a 9mm bullet to go through it rather than basically a paid advertisement.
