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

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.

You can DIY bulletproof your own car with phone books if it really matters to you.

If I could afford a new car, I’d rather move to a neighborhood where my car doesn’t get shot at.
