Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Not only have we armored a Tesla Model S to Alpine Level A9 (CEN B6+), but we’ve also successfully conducted live-fire testing of the vehicle demonstrating the effectiveness and reliability of our advanced ballistic protection. We have also conducted an extended full QA/QC Testing program, along with a full driving & slalom test for handling & weight distribution data. Check out the video or read the Press Release for more information.
The range of a bulletproof Tesla will depend on a few factors including the specific Tesla model and body style, the level of armoring required, and the materials used. Higher levels of armoring typically use thicker materials resulting in a significant weight increase. Whenever possible, Alpine Armoring incorporates different composite ballistic materials to help with overall weight reduction. Example: a Model S sedan with a lower level of armoring, like A4, may experience only a 5% reduction in overall range, while armoring the same vehicle to level A9 could reduce the driving range close to 10-15%.
No, the Cybertruck is not armored, but rather the exterior of the Cybertruck is made of 1.4mm to 1.8mm standard stainless steel panels, that as a byproduct of this material can stop small handgun rounds. This stainless steel is not certified ballistic steel and the glass is standard vehicle glass with no ballistic capability. At Alpine Armoring, we use certified ballistic steel & composite materials that cover Alpine Protection Levels A4 to A12, as well as VPAM and NIJ Certified levels and certified transparent armor made of varying polycarbonate layers.
Tesla has filed a patent for "a multilayer glass stack for a vehicle windshield with improved durability," however this is not currently used in any Tesla vehicles.
