This video from Yee Yee Life tests the ballistic resistance of a Tesla Cybertruck door against various firearms. The host, demonstrating practical shooting experience, shows that handgun rounds like .22, 9mm, and .45 ACP only cause superficial damage. While a 12-gauge slug penetrates the first layer of the dual-wall stainless steel construction, it's stopped by the second. However, a 5.56 green tip round easily pierces both walls.
