It can resist low powered 9mm bullets. It won't even come close to resisting a rifle round. So minimally more protection than any other vehicle.

Mercedes does an armored car rated at VR10:

So let's see what the Cybertruck's VR rating is in a couple of years.

When I'm thinking of armored vehicles I'm thinking of at least 7mm steel to protect against machine guns and even that is paper thin! I got taken down too many times in War Thunder...
