I've been thinking bout the old Jurrasic Park movie today and remembering the scenes with people trying to escape various dinosaurs by driving away in various Jeeps. I was wondering how those scenes might be different if instead, they were driving around in Cybertrucks.

I would say that the T-Rex chasing, rolling, and chomping the vehicle would probably be similar. But for the rest of the dinosaurs, it might make sense to just stay in the vehicle. Some of the dinosaurs might get the CT rolled over, but my guess is that they most likely would not be able to penetrate the vehicle.

Clearly, this is a practical question I need the answer to as I plan my next vacation. But it does make me wonder about other vacation animal encounters like bears, bison, elephants, hippos, etc. Not worried about lions as current vehicles already protect fairly well for that case.

EVs can hunker down and be difficult to flip. And armor glass would make it much more difficult for them to penetrate the vehicle.

If you see a T-Rex out there, pleeeeease test the CT on it!

As for bears, no way will the armor glass stop a hungry bear when you leave food in your car ?. I think the stainless steel would be a deterrent, but even more than that, you being in the car would ward common black bears off. If you think they don't know how to open doors, you'd be surprised.


Cheers

Your video example is cute. But the person left the door unlocked. The bear just pulled the handle and the door opened as if to invite the bear in.

For the CT though there was the announcement:

Haha, so true! Take that, bears! The great Elon Musk outsmarted you at last!

Now, to outsmart those blasted T-Rex's

If I think a T-Rex is going to roll the CT and break a plastic coolant piece underneath and cost me $16,000, you bet your booty I will jump out and run toward the closest lawyer on a toilet bowl to get him away from my CT.

That bear did not hesitate a second to go for the door handle. If there is a way to hack into CT, he will figure it out before Russians do. I would not call it a victory before CT is fully bear tested.

Make sure to have a plan B in case a T-Rex died when your CT get stuck in his throat. You may be charged

Will have to be a smart bear to open a door without handles...
