Fortunately the Tesla Sentry Mode video cameras have been catching people already who were slashing tires.
Yes, all the cameras are so any Tesla can do Full Self Drive, but they help in other ways also. All you have to do is put in a formatted flash drive, so it can record any incidents and put it in Sentry mode. It will use a bit more energy while it's on.
Do you mean to say that the Cybertruck would be good protection against the police? Here in Los Angeles, as in other cities, the police are instigating violence. They have been caught on video defacing and burning their own police vehicles, as well as initiating violence against peaceful protestors. Also, many of those found initiation violence, tagging, and looting have been found to be from out of town.
TBH i am surprised Tesla's lawyers aren't all over any claim of the CT being bulletproof. Open the company up to lawsuits if someone takes a slug through the door.
Yes I hope the CT is programmed to WAIT after being turned over, until its attackers venture too near and THEN it suddenly flips back over, SMOOSH! Like a Transformer would be in a lawless society...
This is an excellent response to the title topic. I hope people read this and try to clearly understand what exactly you are trying to say. Well said with 5 stars!A production vehicle, car or truck has obviously a far less protective envelope. Both body and glass.
Cybertruck is far closer to an Armoured Personnel Carrier than any other production vehicle.
Do you think Police forces and people need to be looking to make their vehicles into Armoured Personnel Carrier’s, or would it be better to society, safer for society to remove the need for such protection !
Police forces in the U.S. for some time have been getting hand me down military vehicles and equipment, as it is, do you think that it may lead some of them to misunderstand, distort their role in society ?
Maybe even take liberties with the citizens that they confuse as the “civilian population” under their inflated authority. Perhaps forget they are there to “Protect and to Serve”.
But then again, the U.S. seems to be on its own, relative to the rest of the 1st first world, with an understanding about access , and reason for firearms in the general population.
Tesla I expect and hope will gain Cybertruck sales from emergency service organisations of many descriptions, and utility’s in any case.
But the Cybertruck’s strong body and armoured glass is a product of structural engineering, structural necessity, of the Exoskeleton. Its Bullet Proof body is a BY-PRODUCT of construction, not an objective of the construction.
The fact its Bullet - Proof body is “badass and Cool” is a welcome side effect.
Very strong glass in the windscreen and roof, is needed as it acts as a structural member.
Very strong glass is in effect Armoured Glass.
If the Exoskeleton body could be made with say 2mm thick Stainless Steel Plate instead of 3mm thick, it would be done so, to save weight, and money, and gain driving range.
3mm is needed for structural reasons. Bullet Proof ability is not the intention, it is a welcome side effect.
I just wish to point out gently, the word “lawlessness” in the title topic is a sad reflection of the times, and the Cybertruck is in no way by design an answer to that.
As the lawlessness is actually a result of the “law” and the Policy makers, and leaders . . . . . . . which some may argue, is the fault of the people who elected them in the first place !
And its the "lawlessness" that needs to addressed not how to accept and live with it.
P.S. I just a wanted a Cybertruck to combat supermarket trolley dints when I parked the car !
Boy have I underestimated the future.
Maybe the Zombie Apocalypse has already started !
There’s a weird orange creature that’s brain dead, eating chemicals, aiding a virus and frightening people in the streets
But just like the Spacex package for the Roadster, perhaps Tesla will come out with the
Bronx or Gaza Strip edition Cybertruck that has extra thick body panels. Then you know exactly what that's designed for !
something the ceo says even at an official announcement isnt legal. they can say basically whatever
Hi Mark,
3mm will be plenty.
Just make sure your bunkers set up with sufficient solar array. Hoping the CT does come with solar option. even a bit of extra juice would be nice if only to take care of the sentry mode drain.
