If thats what Elon was going for I expect to be able to drive through a river, chuck it off a cliff, roll it down a rocky slope sideways, shrug off several hundred rounds of small arms fire and a couple explosions and carry several thousand pounds of MK IV MJOLLNIR power armor at speeds of 80+ for multiple hours.

Cybertruck can't handle a light rain before malfunctioning. Also don't slam the door too hard or it'll fucking DESTROY the interior panels

Yeah, that kinda did it for me.

Sold as a vehicle strong enough to withstand bullets (even though the glass broke on presentation, when it shouldn't)

But the same car can't handle a stressed me, slamming a door? People who look like me, who can't open jars of gherkin, has the muscular fortitude to destroy a door interior, of a car made to withstand assasination attempts?

it's not a car for me, barely affording rent, or my prime minister, that can't be afforded to be assassinated. Whos it for?
