The front looks like like Iron Man in that shot. Love it.

Shape is important for the frequencies of radar that police use, but those frequencies are also very sensitive to panel gaps, surface finish, material transitions, basically every other aspect of this vehicle. Oh yeah not to mention the big melon behind the steering wheel

Ya’ll are taking Elon too literally here... I highly doubt it was designed or tested around a bulletproof spec or requirement. I can almost guarantee the “resistance” to 9mm is just a happy accident of material selection.

Wow just realized I replied to the wrong radar thread.

Yes - the radar frequencies used by police are sensitive to shaping, but they are also highly sensitive to things like panel gaps and discontinuities. The truck may be more difficult to measure on certain aspect angles but as a whole I don’t think it’ll make a noticeable difference. The fleshy...

All good points. The window break has certainly turbocharged CT’s emergence, for better or worse.

I’m not sure “shatter resistant” glass is very high on my priority list, but it’s a cool addition. I think the whole shattering window thing was a stunt anyways.
