No one has ever shot a bullet proof Tesla before.

So Tesla does not sell bullet proof Teslas - it's something that has to happen after

It's an after market upgrade you could say.

So with a bullet proof Tesla, they have to add bullet proof glass for the windshield,

the driver's side, the passenger side, the rear trunk, and they also add bullet proof

So no matter where a projectile might enter into the vehicle, whether through the window

or through the door panel, it's going to stop the bullet in the car instead of letting it

The goal is to kind of protect the passenger area like a cocoon Bullet proof windshield,

we have a bullet proof A post, B post right here behind Star Man, and then C post back

All of those have the bullet proof paneling inside of them.

So since this particular Model S Tesla has been bullet proofed to withstand, you know,

hand guns, it did add about 430 pounds worth of weight, you know, between the thickness

of the glass and the body panels and the door.

If this Tesla was bullet proofed to withstand rifles, you know, it's a bigger bullet, you

know, more power, it would add about 700 or 800 pounds.

But Tesla's are already pretty heavy vehicles, you know, that's why they are so safe.

So adding 400 pounds isn't that big of a deal.

It still has an insane amount of get-up-and-go and it still looks almost the exact same as

So one thing that is different with this amoured Tesla is the bracket right here around the

window...there's a little bit of structural integrity added to the glass because on Tesla's

So the armoured portion is this thick part of the glass right here, and then this is

If there were a projectile to come in through this window, this glass would stop it.

If the projectile were to come in through the thin portion, it would be stopped right

You might be thinking to yourself, but what happens if someone shoots out the tires?

Dan from the YouTube channel What's Inside made a video about how the tires can still

I'll post a link for that video at the end of this one.

So for this video I'm going to be using a Glock 19 which is a 9mm hand gun.

But we're also going to be shooting with this.

This is a hollow point 9mm bullet, and so when it hits something, these little phalanges

on the end spread out and it has a little bit different of an impact area.

We're going to see what happens with the bullet proof glass when hit with both of these bullets.

I can still hear the glass....listen to the glass...[cracking sounds]...that's crazy.

It hit right here in the center and you can see that this top layer of glass shattered

And there's no hole yet, so pretty sure that the bullet didn't go through.

We'll hit it a couple more times in just a second.

So on the Tesla right here we have the point of impact and we have a little bit of pulverized

So when the bullet hits bullet proof glass, it just kind of disintegrates.

It just dissolves into nothing, and all the energy, the forward momentum, gets distributed

into the glass itself and kind of like fractures outward because the glass is made up of multiple

If we open it up from the inside, you can see the underside of the glass is completely

My fingers are not getting caught with any of the glass shards because this layer underneath

is a poly-carbonate It's kind of a plastic of sorts that absorbs the energy from the

So now we can kind of see the different layers from the bullet's hit right here.

The glass on the outside has a little ridge on the end.

As soon as it hit that poly-carbonate, that's when the bullet stops going into the glass.

So a lot of people think that bullet proof means that the...it's like Superman – the

bullet's going to hit it and just bounce off and leave no damage, but there's a lot of

energy in a bullet, so that has to be absorbed into the glass.

And it's going to leave some damage, but the bullet didn't penetrate, and that's what we're

There's a safe cocoon inside of the car that allows the person inside just to be safe.

So that first shot was done with a 9mm bullet.

It's just a solid tipped, you know, normal...this is what you'd buy to do target shooting or

Now we're going to shoot it with a hollow point.

This one actually has a hollow tip with little phalanges along the side that will open up

and hit the glass, and we'll see if it has a different impact radius or if it affects

the glass any differently than the original bullet.

I would have thought for sure that the way the bullet expands after it hits something,

And, because we compromised the glass the first time around, I thought for sure the

next one would be bigger, but it's actually a smaller impact zone.
