"Technically" bulletproof (in that some parts can't have holes poked through them by bullets), can't drive through sand or mud.
Very apocalypse-proof.
Not only that but from what I've heard all Teslas have issues with rain and going through car washes. This is not a car company this is a tech company that tried to make cars. The only reason they have succeeded thus far is because none of the actual car makers were outputting electric vehicles seriously. Now that they are Tesla is doomed cause they're absolute shit at designing automobiles.
Tarpenning and Eberhard actually knew what they were doing (or at least who to listen to) and the Tesla might have been a decent car under their leadership. Neither of them were auto engineers, but they were both way into cars. But we're not in that timeline. Musk clearly knows nothing about cars.
Ah, that's why there are never any cybertrucks in Mad Max.
Ha! Elsewhere in this thread I described the Cybertruck as it's always looked to me- a fiberglass shell over an El Camino in a bad 1980s straight-to-VHS Mad Max ripoff movie.
