I feel like that's probably the one thing a vehicle marketed as bullet-proof needs to be... like, actually bullet-proof.

The Sheriff whose officers are presumably being trained that it is Bulletproof with a big B, that guy doesn't know.

It's an information-environment thing. If you go far enough to the right in the USA, you get a very different set of information sources.

Those information sources think the Cybertruck is bulletproof, because Elon said that it was (we actually talk about that piece in the article).

    The Sheriff is a fucking moron then, who hasn't done the most cursory due dilligence, a brief internet search as a sanity check.

    Like, I hear you, I get the whole concept of information silos / different segments of the hyperreality...

    ... But it also just actually is utter incompetence, objectively.

    There are at least a 100 videos of people shooting at these cybertrucks with various calibers from various ranges. Thats either the same or better quality research than most police organizations produce, other than pre-Trump FBI.

    Sheriff should be fired, its his job to know.
