Well if it's going to be that expensive then they better have bullet-resistant glass on the windows this time, if not bullet-proof Smiley

Of course I know this is not the case for almost all of the consumer pickup truck types at this price, but I mean come on. Elon can send rockets to space and back, so he should be able to add some tempered glass to his cars.

Elon explained on his latest Joe Rogan podcast appearance that Bullet-proof glass needs to be incredibly thick so wouldn't be feasible on a standard model as the windows need to be fixed/immovable. Maybe they could do a special bullet proof edition later, but I'm not sure who the market would be for other than maybe government officials and some super-celebs.

The Tesla CEO also reiterated on Tuesday that the Cybertruck will have bulletproof steel panels and there will even be an option for people to purchase bulletproof glass for the vehicle, though that variant will pose a major usability tradeoff.

"You can make anything bulletproof if you want, but the glass has to be very thick for be bulletproof, so it can't go up and down," Musk said, adding that the bulletproof windows will be immobile.

During the interview, Rogan even tested out the Cybertruck's exterior by shooting an arrow at the vehicle's stainless steel body.

In the video, the arrow appeared to partially break against the car's exterior, leaving a small dent in the side of the Cybertruck.
