Cybertruck Specs Deep-Dive — What the Bulletproof Steel, Giant Bed & Cyberbeast Actually Mean

Everything you need to know about Cybertruck specifications, safety, and the bulletproof question.

Is the Cybertruck Bulletproof?

This is one of the most-searched Cybertruck questions — and the answer is more nuanced than yes or no.

What It DOES Resist

  • 9mm handgun rounds (demonstrated)
  • .45 ACP and similar pistol calibers
  • Shrapnel and low-velocity projectiles

What It Does NOT Resist

  • Rifle calibers (.223, .308, 5.56 NATO)
  • The windows (standard automotive glass)
  • The undercarriage (not armored)

The honest answer: The Cybertruck body panels offer meaningful ballistic protection against handgun rounds — better than any conventional production vehicle. It is not a military-grade armored vehicle and would not stop rifle fire. "Bulletproof" is an overstatement; "bullet-resistant at handgun calibers" is accurate.

Cyberbeast vs Cybertruck AWD

Price$79,990$99,990

Who should buy which: Most buyers should get the AWD — it saves $20,000, still tows 11,000 lbs, and 4.1 seconds 0–60 is genuinely fast. The Cyberbeast is for enthusiasts who want maximum acceleration or plan to tow heavy loads frequently.

Cybertruck Tires

285/65R20

Stock tire size — approximately 35-inch overall diameter

The stock tire is optimized for range and all-weather performance. All-terrain aftermarket options will reduce range by approximately 5–15% due to increased rolling resistance.

Cybertruck Light Bar

The Cybertruck's front light bar — a full-width LED strip running across the front fascia — is approximately 6.5 feet / 79 inches wide. It serves as both daytime running lights and part of the headlight system with adaptive high beam control.
