A porn star packing heat put to the test Elon Musk’s claim that Tesla’s Cybertruck is bulletproof.
In a video shared last week to Musk’s social media site X, Dante Colle was filmed firing gunshots at his Cybertruck, which had been parked in an open field.
The first bullet appeared to pierce the back of the vehicle.
“F—,” Colle exclaimed, as he dropped the handgun and grabbed his head while an unidentified woman filming him laughed.
“I don’t think it’s bulletproof, Dante,” she said.
WARNING: COARSE LANGUAGE
Colle and another friend inspected the hole and claimed that the bullet didn’t go through the truck.
The second shot only left a small dent on the side of the Cybertruck.
“It works,” Colle said.
The adult film star did not test whether the vehicle’s windows were bulletproof.
Back in March, YouTuber Zack Nelson put the Cybertruck to the bullet test and posted the results to his popular JerryRigEverything channel.
He fired bullets from a 9-mm handgun and .22-calibre rifle, which didn’t pierce the truck.
However, heavier artillery was able to enter and exit the vehicle’s passenger door.
“I think I did alright,” Nelson said. “I can see through the door from here. That’s freaking wild.
“Oh my gosh,” he added upon closer inspection. “Look at that. It like starred open. Oh, that’s crazy. Can put my whole finger through that.”
Musk debuted the Cybertruck in 2019 and attempted to demonstrate in front of an audience that the windows were shatterproof.
He instructed the vehicle’s chief designer to throw a small metal ball at the driver-side window, and wound up smashing the glass.
“Well, maybe that was a little too hard,” Musk said as the crowd laughed.
The designer threw the ball again, this time at the rear passenger window.
It damaged the glass a second time, but Musk noted that the metal ball didn’t go through the window in either attempt.

Nelson said the glass is definitely not shatterproof.
“There also seems to be a giant misconception that the windows of the Cybertruck are bulletproof, and they are most definitely not,” he noted.
“The armoured glass that was proposed during the initial launch never came to fruition, and the Cybertruck glass is most definitely not bulletproof, in any way shape or form. It is far too thin for that.”
