Dante Colle decided to test the bulletproof resistance of his Cybertruck, an electric vehicle from Tesla valued at $100,000.
In a viral video, he fired a gun at the back of the truck, causing a hole in the body and initially giving the impression that the bullet had penetrated. Shocked by the result, Colle stated that the vehicle didn’t seem bulletproof, though a friend revealed that the projectile hadn’t fully gone through.
In a second attempt, Colle fired again, but the bullet ricocheted, leaving only a scratch. He expressed relief upon realizing that, despite the visible damage, the vehicle’s structure had resisted the impacts.

This test is not the first; other online influencers had already assessed the Cybertruck’s durability, including Zack Nelson, who shot various guns at it in a previous video.
Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, has always claimed that Cybertrucks are bulletproof. However, he faced an embarrassing situation in 2019 when the truck’s window shattered during a live demonstration. A subsequent test by his team confirmed that while the vehicle could withstand shots from smaller calibers, larger caliber bullets caused damage, leading the team to conclude that despite these challenges, the Cybertruck remains a robust vehicle, fit for adventures in various conditions.
