Lol I think you're right. I'd take this lifted Sienna anyday. Esp if this TRD Pro version has hose-down floors with drain plugs, and then the rear becomes a hauling zone when you want it. And a clamshell rear hatch (fold down tailgate).

That doesn't look like bullet impacts, more like ballpeen hammer hits. No lead splatter, way too clean of a dent.

EDIT: Also .45ACP is not a very penetrative round lol

You too can look like every gangster on the road with our new bulletproof vehicle that looks the exact same as every other cybertruck! We recommend you leave the windows rolled up.

From another site.

Quote:
interesting - if it really was a Tommy gun, as in Thompson submachine gun, that's a .45 ACP which is a fair step up from the initial 115gr 9mm they claimed.
No way it's going to stop a rifle round, that isn't a realistic expectation. Stopping a .45 is already a step up.

In BC you require a permit to own an armoured car. Years back a number of cars that were armered were seized. They cars were leased and then armoured. Armoured cars may not be a big deal in BC but they are in places like Mexico.

That looks like absolute bull shit. What kind of shot pattern is that? And as other mentioned, how far away and what kind of ammo did they use (I understand it's a 45 but there are many types of 45)? Also, how about those legendary windows?

Seems like a distraction from falling stock prices and poor quarterly results.

I wish I could love Tesla as much as some of you guys, come on.

I’ve done plenty of dump runs. Cleared up a lot of garage space. I needed a truck and didn’t realize how much I did until I owned one.
this!!
for me i choose to go full size is because of payload and interior space. sure its not everyday i need the max payload of a full size but its nice to have.
being a homeowner and having an income property there is always something to haul around, and being able to do so in one trip saves time and money.
home depot runs, pick up and deliveries at my convince, my schedule.
im able to take on my own yardwork at the rental instead of paying a landscaper. lawnmower, weed wacker, leaf blower, powerwasher can all fit in the bed without messing up the interior.
i also return about $100 in bottles like a crackhead weekly. haha i swear these rich international students live off of energy drinks and sodas and booze. of course they cant be bothered with returning the cans. free money for me

best daily usage of the bed is being able to toss sweaty gym clothes, kick boxing gear, damp swim wear in the bed and not have in bake in the sun while im at work.

Either way it's a pretty useless feature here. Show how it looks after a month of driving around Coquitlam and Richmond, then I might be impressed lol.

Erh... try shooting even a .22 at a regular car/truck at the furthest range you can aim well enough to not miss shots and get back to me.

Regular car exterior is like paper for bullets... even small one like a .22

Growing up, I used to go with my dad and my (much) older cousin to his friend's farm to shoot. They've got a few cars and trucks (or what's left of them) and bullets can go through it with ease.
