Musk and claims about Cybertruck put to the test

The Tesla Cybertruck was first unveiled to the public in November 2019. However, the first look might not have gone as planned! While demonstrating the sturdiness of its ‘armored’ windows, the truck was unable to withstand the steel ball thrown at its window.

However, Joe Rogan recently took the challenge up himself to prove that Elon Musk’s claims about the vehicle being immune to “subsonic” projectiles were indeed true. In a video released on Twitter/X, Rogan, an avid archery enthusiast, fires an arrow at the truck!
