He says the trucks are “apocalypse-proof” and claims they can withstand bullets and have “armor glass” windows.

They also withstand emergency responders and the occupant's attempts to escape.

Chances of you experiencing the apocalypse - Zero

Chances you will get trapped in an Cybercuck and be unable to get out - Not zero

And the apocalypse will have working charging stations.

Jokes aside. You can build you own solar charging station for a few grand.

Not a lot of people can build their own oil extraction and refinement system in their backyard.

On the flip side, might be a good time for everyone to learn about wood gasifiers.

Will a tesla even start if the internet is down?

Elon is building both the "apocalypse-proof" (they are not) truck and the apocalypse (he really is)

[–] Coleslaw4145@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

When they say "apocalypse-proof", what they actually mean is that the pedestrians outside are protected from the localised internal apocalypse occurring within the vehicle.

Let's face face it. The most likely apocalypse is an economic crash brought on by the kind of crop of idiots. Not sure how a car is going to help with that.

He meant apocalypse proof from the INSIDE, duh ! If all hell breaks loose inside, it won't get out, and neither will you !
