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
| Spec | Cybertruck AWD | Cyberbeast |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $79,990 | $99,990 |
| Motors | Dual motor AWD | Tri-motor AWD |
| 0–60 mph | 4.1 seconds | 2.6 seconds |
| Range | 340 miles | 320 miles |
| Peak power | ~600 hp | 845 hp |
| Towing | 11,000 lbs | 11,000 lbs |
| Top speed | 112 mph | 130 mph |
| Drag Strip capable | No | Yes |
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
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.
