Even if not, I doubt competitors are “shitting their pants” over this. Can’t say the bulletproofness rating topped the list of features I was looking for in my next car purchase
More important will be the ability to repair it yourself when things inevitably break. Given that musk is insanely petty and political, you would need to count on whittling Tesla parts from a piece of wood.
Or the fact that Cyber trucks rarely make it more than a few hundred miles (if that) before they shut themselves off. Also, if you are ever in an accident and it loses power, it may very well lock you in the vehicle while it burns you to death.

If I could afford a new car, I might consider that feature given the potential of the next few years…

You can DIY bulletproof your own car with phone books if it really matters to you.
I haven’t seen one of those in years. Lol.
The local ibrary might need to weed some outdated encyclopedias though. 🤔
Man I’m so glad I was tired of throwing them away.
However, as Clarkson demonstrated in Iraq, you can’t bulletproof a car with sandbags.
If I could afford a new car, I’d rather move to a neighborhood where my car doesn’t get shot at.
