1/ Musk on why the Cybertruck will be bulletproof: "Trucks are supposed to be tough." Imo he was tiptoeing around the fact that he's designing a car fit for navigating a post-meltdown, crime-ridden, possibly even war torn landscape.
2/ Back in 2020, Musk said the Cybertruck was envisioned as a "battle tank", "something that looks like it could come out of Blade Runner or Aliens".
3/ Musk also said the Cybertruck aims to be "waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat".
4/ Tesla is hailed as saving lives during the recent Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel:
"They shot my tires, but the acceleration is amazing even in this situation ... I drove at 112 mph with flat tires ... 100 bullet holes in the car, the front window remained cracked all the way but did not disintegrate"
