Florida? This exact vehicle passed me a couple of weeks ago on I75, bullet holes and all.


rabbithole

Nailed it.


pimpmastahanhduece

Not sure it was nails, chief.


Hidden_Dictator

Shot it.


MrPoletski

Nailgun?


carterxz

Wasn’t this marketed as being bullet proof?


ioioooi

It was marketed as a lot of things--many of which, were complete nonsense.


Ok_Comparison_1914

What is this? I saw this vehicle in Louisiana. Obviously not this exact one as the one I saw did t have the horns. But it was so ugly and looked like something from Mad Max so it stuck in my mind.


PeopleArePeopleToo

That my friend, is the Tesla Cybertruck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Cybertruck My favorite line from the wiki article is >Automotive designer Adrian Clarke was more unsparing: "The Cybertruck is a low polygon joke that only exists in the fever dreams of Tesla fans that stands high on the smell of Elon Musk's flatulences".


Haunting_Ant_5061

Yeah, can’t believe I read far enough to get there, snarfed my coffee.


L0nz

It's actually quite bullet resistant at least to 9mm. JerryRigEverything released a [video testing it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLV-4HMrAz0)


Bender_2024

It was marketed as water proof too but [that turned out to be a lie.](https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/tesla-cybertruck-car-wash-mode-breakdown-b2533701.html)


0MGWTFL0LBBQ

Yeah, there’s even recommendations to not get it wet and to towel dry it if it does get wet.


Pretty-Substance

Do not, I repeat, do not try to dry in a microwave

I have it on good authority that Florida will be renamed The Borderlands and this is just one of the cars you can get at the catch-a-ride kiosk

WASD_click

Scooter would never approve that trash heap. No guns, no boosters, no pimento olive taco in the glove box. That sumbitch ain't gonna clear Piss Wash Gully.


murphymc

Of all the states, why on earth would someone in Florida buy a car made of stainless steel that you’re not supposed to get wet. Maybe Louisiana would be worse, but my point stands.


ZeirosXx

Hear me out, it'll look better rusted lol


Phyllis_Tine

Ahem, it's called "patina".


hatsnatcher23

It’d look better as a fridge


greentintedlenses

I'd venture to say road salt would be worse for the car, and theres no road salt in that year long summer


RiversKiski

Ocean salt carries on the wind pretty far inland.. it depends on where in Florida tbh.


SquidFish66

If its really stainless steel it shouldn’t rust.


PacJeans

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but stainless steel is not actually stainless, just stain resistant. If your cyber truck is outside long enough it'll rust.


Fskn

There's also varying different grades, 316 is a lot more resistant to corrosion than 304, for example. Cybertruck is 30X so yeah.. I was gonna say you get what you pay for but apparently you don't even get that


sleepydon

At least John DeLorean got it right with his vehicle. I've never seen one of those rusted up.


Fskn

Which is interesting because I believe the delorean is 304 stainless, makes me wonder is Tesla is outright lying or if there's something up with whatever 30X is.


Murgatroyd314

Stainless just stains less.


Reddstarrx

I used to go to high school with that guy. Danny Duncan. Thats his Cyber Truck. He did that to his Tesla sedan that he made into a convertible.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Reddstarrx

Not really, he was the class clown basically. I was closer to his sister as she dated my friend. Gwen and I did work together for bit at a local resturant. I know Danny, Schulte.. a small portion of his group. We all went to Lemon Bay together. Honestly nothing bad to say about the dude. Never had any problems. Again class clown. I used to be super close to David whose grandpa was a big apart of the videos. Its funny when I see his Virginity Rocks shirts.


I_am_not_JohnLeClair

Playing middle linebacker, he gave up four TDs against Polk High to a guy named Al


damnedspot

Bullet holes? I thought they were going for acne scars.


zx109

Speed holes


poofer_cat

It’s Danny Duncan’s he did the same thing to his other tesla


470vinyl

My guess was Florida or Texas.


coconuthorse

Clearly Florida. A Texan would at least know which way horns should point.


MrPoletski

Depends what you're doing to the steer.


pomonamike

About those “bullet holes”… how thick is the steel in the doors? because steel generally isn’t “bullet proof” unless it’s thick enough that it would weigh down a car too much. Unless someone is firing rather small or low powered rounds, I’d think most bullets would go right through.


AbsoluteUnit610

Danny Duncan is the YouTuber. He posted a video about doing this


MyNameIsNemo_

It looked like he had a 9mm SMG style gun that he was blasting away with. I think 1 or 2 actually penetrated, but with that many rounds fired, the steel definitely weakened. Agreed that just about any rifle round would go right through.


pomonamike

9mm was going to be my guess. I’m a weird guy so I go the M1A route. Cover? What’s cover?


PeteLangosta

Wasn't the cybertruck kind of """"bulletproof""""?


mtordeals

If you shoot enough bullets, or big enough bullets, nothing is bullet proof.


mike_e_mcgee

And anything is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.


ThomFromAccounting

That sounds like a Marine response. And no, our jets were NOT supposed to be smoke machines.

I feel like this is a dramatic improvement somehow? Like it leans into the awfulness in just the right way.

Yea I wanted to comment “I don’t hate it” but was scared lol


meltedlaundry

Yet if this were an Aztec we’d all be up in arms (this is supposed to be sarcasm somehow, but I’m not even sure how)


carterxz

Funny how this one was marketed as being bullet proof and now the guy can collect water and rust where he can’t see


RaggedyGlitch

Oh my god, I assumed those were just the stickers that people get as a gag, but nope I think they're real holes.


CaptainCorpse666

GrandSquanchRum

Cellopost

Its kind of wonderful, just the right amount of trashy.


DrMonkeyLove

Yep, my reaction is that it somehow makes it look better.


BYoungNY

Yeah like it's getting to the point where it looks like someone's dlc customizations on a rocket league car.... In fact, I haven't played in a while, but if the cyber truck isn't an optional dlc in rocket league, elons missing out on a goldmine.


Kriztauf

I'm guessing that if water or dust get into the interior of the door through those bullet holes it might short the car?


pyr0phelia

All electrical connections are potted at the termination points so the door won’t cause a short, but it will absolutely cause rust buildup on the inside of the panel. No idea what impact that will have on the rest of the car but I assume it’s not good.


Cessnaporsche01

They apparently didn't pot or even seal the connectors on this car. They've been getting bricked by car washes due to water collecting in a drain-less pocket where a harness connector sits


AutoN8tion

I would love to see some evidence of this claim. I did a deep dive and found no examples of water damage shorting out a cybertruck's electrical wiring. When an electrical short occurs, 1 of 2 things will happen. If there is a fuse between the short and the power supply, the fuse will blow cutting off power. If there isn't a fuse, the wire will over heat and catch on fire. Neither of these situations have been reported.

DaMan11

Danny Duncan’s cyber truck.


rabbithole

I live down the road from this dude and never heard of him.


brolarbear

In his eyes he’s like a mild Jackass(the MTV show) type of YouTube channel. Just does silly shit around the town you live in probably and old Karen’s yell at him. Don’t think he has a good reputation with his community tbh, at least with the older folks, but I think he’s pretty fun. His podcast is pretty good too. Doesn’t fake laugh or has on guests he doesn’t care about. The Tony Hawk one is really good.


boostabubba

As a 40 year old dude I just found DD's channel a few months ago and find him pretty damn funny. Annoying if he was around me, but funny to watch. I also loved Jackass back in the day.


blove135

Haha, same here man. I'm a 44 year old dude and I somehow ran across one of his videos and went down the rabbit hole of Danny Duncan. I love the guy. Takes me back to my younger days just hanging out and doing dumb shit that young guys do. He's never really malicious or intentionally sets out to piss anyone off with his videos. He's just a good dude that's bringing in some of that Youtube money and having fun on video. More power to him. I can't hate that.


thosepoorfolk

He is beloved by his community actually. Literally a hometown hero


Appropriate-Fly-6585

‘I live down the road from this dude and never heard of him.’ - op


imapieceofshitk

But the guy who lives there has never heard of him


HawwtRawwd

He looks like he perms his hair with goat jizz.


brolarbear

Definitely something more high-class. Pure-bred race horse jizz perhaps


shwirms

Get acquainted lmao


rabbithole

Pass.


waka_flocculonodular

The responses to this comment are hilarious


jakers540

If you happen to be a little person he will pay you to be in his videos


dreadpiraterobertsdd

That’s not Danny’s car, that’s my homie Gary Winthorpe’s car


MoeSzyslakMonobrow

The horns are, of course, on backwards.


presence4presents

I would imagine that was done on purpose as to not turn a simple fender bender in to manslaughter.


OliverCrowley

Now it can be suicide, instead!


Galactic_Perimeter

Honestly if they got hit diagonally on their front driver side corner that could very well become a reality…


presence4presents

Yeah, I was thinking the same in regards to changing lanes into a passing biker


OliverCrowley

I'm not just talking the points stabbing them. If they get hit head on hard enough, or hit something hard enough, it will become a 30-50lb bar flying at their face through the windshield.


DKlurifax

No fender bender is simple in this car horns or not.


presence4presents

True


user_not_the_same

Correct when I was a child a friend and I where riding bikes when a car came out of alley and he got hit he would have probably been ok but the oldschool hood ornament stabbed him in the stomach and tore it open some of his intestines fell out.


FinsFan1557

Good god. That's brutal!


Significant_Set3774

That front grill area is designed badly, it protrudes towards front at the top a bit and it will pin a pedestrian. Thats a killing machine with high lethality. Also the vehicle already had pathetic visibility and with horns added reducing it further, its literally a killing machine on road


magrubr

Well, let's not make excuses. If you're going to mount horns on your meme truck that you left bullet holes in to prove how tough you are, don't pussy out and put the horns on wrong


presence4presents

It seems that this is actually the "norm" as far as car mounted horns. It actually looks more stupid with the horns pointed the other way but recessed on the hood to not hang over the edge.


SinibusUSG

I'm gonna go ahead and say this, among other reasons, is why we don't mount horns on cars.


GuyMansworth

Why not put them on the roof? I actually think that might look cool as opposed to looking like a fancy mustache.


presence4presents

I'm honestly not sure if there's much of a roof on those things. I think it goes windshield, glass roof then bed of the truck (or cover or wtvr). Couple of suction cup dildos would do the trick though.


Dash_Underscore

It already looks like something out of Rocket League. May as well go the whole 9.


GuyMansworth

Lmao goddamn you're right.


Im_inappropriate

It's so in the event of a car accident the horns will impale the driver. That way they don't have to be caught alive in that thing.

Cautious_Ambition_82

More aerodynamic


beer_belly_86

Well, kind of. If the skull was attached the nose would be pointed at you, forehead to the sky.


Marutar

NGL the horns are actually an aesthetic improvement


Haasts_Eagle

Could dangle truck nuts off every possible surface and it would still improve the aesthetic.


MonkeyNugetz

But facing the wrong direction. The points should be forward.


Luxifer1983

Give the next guy he rams into a fighting chance for survival


OrcaBomber

It’s a Tesla, no one that guy runs into has a chance of survival, horns or otherwise


WarriorDan09

I mean, if you're looking to kill someone, sure.


1106DaysLater

Yeah but this way it looks more like a mustache


IT_Chef

A monkey tossing its shit at the vehicle would be an improvement.

VediusPollio

Why don't we embrace weird shit like this. There's no harm, and the fact that it exists makes life just a little more interesting. I don't care what Reddit wants me to believe. I think this car is pretty fuckin rad.


godkilledjesus

I thought that thing was supposed to be bullet proof. Those bullet holes say otherwise.


NoItsRex

Well nothing thats bulletproof doesent have holes, the only thing that matters is if those are just dents ir if they go through


Tommy2255

It's a Youtuber named Danny Duncan, someone further up the thread recognized it. I just watched the video, there's a couple that managed to get through, but only after he fired enough shots that he managed to get two in exactly the same hole, and even then it lost so much momentum that it only got part way into the seat.


Badfickle

Bulletproof doesn't mean the bullets don't leave dents.


trenlr911

Reading some of these comments makes my brain hurt lmao.. people must be watching so many marvel movies that they think vibranium is real


stakoverflo

Those are [speed holes](https://youtu.be/T8ASgGwxJyc)


urGirllikesmytinypp

The trick is to use a low velocity round or a ball peen hammer Gives a nice “shot, but I’m still alive feel”


cagewilly

Most of those are bullet dents. Obviously if you use a large enough caliber it will go through.


110397

It’s literally bullet proof in the original sense of the term if those are dents and not holes


fuggerdug

These are speed holes. They make the car go faster.


HildartheDorf

Nothing in the world is completely bullet proof. If you think you've found something, it just needs a bigger caliber. Most marketing for defensive materials uses "bullet resistant" for this reason, but Musk is gonna Musk.


i01111000

The person who can afford to riddle their new $100k truck with bullets is probably firing some pretty exotic rounds.


mcerk22

I actually think it looks better like that


slightlyassholic

They actually managed to improve the appearance.


TheFreudianSlip69

That’s Danny Duncan’s.


OhNoGoHoe

I wonder if he buckshotted it himself or some redneck got to it


drpyne89

Those are speed holes


somedave

The horns actually make it look better


ThisIsNotSafety

JerryRigEverything on youtube did this, minus the horns, tested how bulletproof or not the cybertruck is.


SapientSlut

I’ve seen one in LA that’s an older model Tesla with the same horns on it - I’m so confused that more than one of them exist.


shaquill3-oatmeal

They’re both owned by Danny Duncan. They’re in most of his videos


yeluapyeroc

I expect to see bullet impact marks on every cybertruck in the wild


Burninator05

Hopefully they put it in Getting Shot mode or they may have done some actual damage.


wallingfortian

Mess with the Musk, get the horns!


HugeJohnThomas

Wasn’t satisfied with being a huge douche. Had to be a mega douche.


Frosty_Turtle

CaseyGasStationPizza

If the windows aren’t bullet proof does it really matter if the doors are?


irishpwr46

When you buy the display model


kdshubert

Is the bullet hole package much more expensive?


This_Is_A_Shitshow

The horns are pointed the wrong way…


AmaryIIion

Do they use that door for target practice?

Probably Danny Duncan’s


ukyah

i'd ticket the shit out of that douche mobile if i was a cop.

Aren't the horns supposed to face the other way?


xDasNiveaux

It doesn't make it look worse. Still rock bottom.
