On: Tesla Adds Titanium Underbody Shield and Aluminum ...

[hyp0]

love Musk's posts, esp "peace of mind", free retrofit, and that amazing crash that was walked away from.

but although there's "ballistic" grade alumimium, titanium that's usually found in "military" applications, and the steel "spear" braced in asphalt test, will it survive assault rifle fire? or anti-tank weapons? how about a tactical nuclear strike? i mean, is it really safe?

Yeah I can already see the headlines.

> "Model S catches fire due to direct impact from nuclear missile".

Media goes apeshit and Musk responds by equipping Model S with anti-missile defense system.
