VIDEO: TESTED! What Can This Tesla's Bulletproof Glass Actually Stop? A Rock? A Glock?

For years I've flipped the pages of Dupont Registry and there's always interesting ads. Whether it's for home security dogs, high-end watches or tricked-out campers, it really is a spectacle to behold.

Some of my favorites always were for armored vehicles.

Unless you're one of the world's richest people or a politician, do you really need to have an armored vehicle? Well, if there's a market, build it!

Although armored vehicles with bulletproof glass have been around for decades now, Tesla's Elon Musk has made a bold claim about the all-new Cybertruck: It would be outfitted with "bulletproof glass." Then Musk and another executive tested it by throwing a ball at the glass. It broke. Twice.

This gave a YouTuber — er, troll — the idea to do their own test. Take his Model 3, equip it with laminated glass and to put it through a series of tests. Examples include, rocks, sledgehammer, paintball guns and, eventually, a real firearm.

It's pretty cool to see just how solid this specialty glass really is. Check out the clip, below!



I took my beloved Tesla Model 3 and tested out a laminate that makes regular glass bulletproof.. Find out whether the reinforced bulletproof tesla model 3 can do what they tesla cybertruck couldn't and actually protect against a giant metal ball and even a bullet. Elon Musk should add this to the new tesla cybertruck's to really make them bulletproof cars!

Statistically you're now more likely to see your Taycan go up in flames: https://electrek.co/2020/02/17/porsche-taycan-fire-burning-garage-florida/

So much for less range for safety purposes... more of a lack of experiences building EVs.
