Not at all. A key point is protection from attackers.

But they need ballistic glass.

> A key point is protection from attackers.

Who is going to be attacking you? Seriously. Even with all this crazy stuff going on we live in one of the most peaceful times is history. Especially in the West, which is where most of these are going to sell (few people that live in these violent places could afford this. Except maybe the authoritarian regimes themselves).

Personally I'd rather get the extra miles that a lighter vehicle offers than knowing that I can shoot my truck with a pistol. If you feel like you need this kind of protection then I feel sorry that you live in such unjustified fear.

Carjackers, kidnappers, assassins, etc.

Maybe not many in violent places could afford these things, but they're the ones who'd be targeted.

Like I said, these things aren't common occurrences in Western countries. You know... the countries that can afford the Cybertruck (I don't give a shit about an authoritarian of an impoverished nation buying this truck. There are so few of them it doesn't even make sense to market to them, and why should we condone that?)

American neighborhoods are typically either like Switzerland or Swaziland. Most neighborhoods have low crime, low gun violence, and high income comparable to Switzerland. The other neighborhoods are comparable to Swaziland in terms of violent crimes. Don't be so quick to call someone's fear irrational if you haven't lived in Swaziland neighborhoods.

If you live in Swaziland you’re not likely to drive a Tesla.
