Chapter 1: The Cybertruck's Durability Test

Elon Musk has made headlines by asserting that he fired a Thompson submachine gun at the highly anticipated Cybertruck to demonstrate its durability. This claim arose following the circulation of a video on social media that appeared to show the vehicle riddled with bullet holes. However, skeptics quickly questioned Musk's assertions, as noted by Insider.

A recent video shared by the Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley Vehicle Club on X (formerly Twitter) featured a pre-production model of the Cybertruck driving down a highway. The footage revealed what looked like bullet marks on the vehicle's side, allegedly created during a test of its protective capabilities.

Shortly after the video was released, Musk took to social media to clarify what viewers were witnessing. "I emptied an entire magazine of a submachine gun into the driver’s door, Al Capone-style," he tweeted. "Not a single bullet penetrated the passenger compartment."

While some fans admired Musk's adventurous spirit, others remained unconvinced about the vehicle's safety features and the authenticity of his claims. Musk's tweet came a day after he admitted in an investor meeting that Tesla had "dug its hole with the Cybertruck," according to ArsTechnica.

Critics were quick to respond, with one Twitter user stating, "His video never happened." Others pointed out that the test did not leave any marks on the Cybertruck's windows, recalling a moment from the vehicle's 2019 launch event when a demonstration intended to showcase its strength resulted in a shattered window.

The first deliveries of the Cybertruck are expected to reach owners next month.
