- How heavy is the car?
How thick is the bullet proof glass?
What did they have to do to get it to this point?
(upbeat music)
Welcome back to What's Inside family!
Today, we have an interesting one.
You've seen the title in the thumbnail,
we are going to be looking at a bullet proof,
or armored Tesla P100D model S.
That's pretty cool, right?
We got a call from our friends at Armor Max.
They told us that they have a car
that they're going to be sending
somewhere in the Middle East at some point
and that they wanted to let me ride in the car
to see if it actually works.
But then also see what an armored model S looks like.
You've got all three cars.
The S, the three, the X, not in that order.
But it kind of looks like a backwards Oreo cookie.
Here's what we're going to do today,
we're going to take this P100D on a ride.
I wanna test it to see does it accelerate in ludicrous mode
as fast as what your typical model S does?
Also, does the autopilot work, that's also a good question.
I've got the key, let's check this thing out.
First thing that you notice right here is,
look at the glass, this is one inch or 30 millimeters
of glass right there.
This is the bullet proof glass.
Inside of the car, it's really quiet.
First because it's a Tesla.
Second because you have extra glass all around it.
You can see the door right here, it's a little bit out,
it's a little bit thicker, but the bullet proofing
is down inside of here.
So even if someone shoots the rounds into the door
it's armored so that people don't-
so bullets don't get through there.
Here's the back glass, right here,
same thing, about 30 millimeters right there.
Typically, you're about three millimeters for usual glass
on a car, just regular windows.
So, it's 10 times thicker than what your normal glass is
plus it's protected.
Bullet proofing a car is so much more
than just putting glass on the windows.
We did another video about bullet proofing cars
that I'll link right here.
But we were able to see some cars that
were completely taken apart.
As far as we know, this and one other one
that they did here are the only bullet proof
Teslas that have been done.
Inside the Tesla you have the white interior
that's beautiful, I love this white.
This is similar to what we have in our car.
If you are somebody that wants to get their car
bullet proofed, you probably need to know
that some things may not work the way that they used to.
There's a chance that you void some of your warranties.
I know that when I wanted to get a front fascia changed
on my old Tesla, I talked to the Tesla service center
and they said, "if you do that, it may void some
of your warranties."
Even here in the back, you've got
the thicker bullet proof glass on here.
One interesting thing that the Tesla does
is that it does have automatic opening and shutting
of these doors and one of them is the sensor.
It senses when it's opening and shutting
and how much weight is there.
So in order to compensate for that,
so that you could still have a door that opens,
they added this arm right here
that's actually stronger than what you normally see.
So it kind of tricks the car into thinking
that it's still the same door
and it's still the same weight.
We've see the bullet proof car and how it works,
as far as the bullet proofing glass goes and everything.
But the real test is, how well does this work on the road?
We're gonna test that out, but we're going to test it out
with somebody that's never actually been
in a Tesla model S before in his life.
- That's me.
- (Dan) And he's never felt ludicrous mode
and we're gonna make you drive it.
- Oh, I get to drive?
- (Dan) You're driving, get in there.
Let's see this one's your key.
- Let's do this!
- (Dan) This is Matt. He's ridden in my model X before.
Is that okay?
This is your car!
- Oh, absolutely.
- (Dan) We're good Matt.
You break it, you buy it.
Here's what's going on, I'm in the back of the car.
We are on a very safe, closed road
and we're going to use ludicrous mode,
so that is the fastest-
what does this car usually do?
It's 2.5, something like that, 2.5 seconds zero to 60.
This car is heavier than what your typical
off the production line P100D would be
because it does have all of the armoring around it.
But, this is the lighter package.
How much heavier would you say this is?
- We estimate about 500 and something,
550 pounds that we added.
- Matt, that has never driven a Tesla model S
is going to do ludicrous speed.
Matt, I would say, obviously you want to slow down
before that stop sign down there, well before it.
But, you don't wanna just go to like 30 or 40
then shut it down.
We should probably go to at least 80.
Put your hands at 10 and two on the wheel.
Get a good hold.
You're- not go yet-
but you're gonna push all the way down on the pedal.
- All the way down?
- (Dan) Just quick, just boom, push all the way down.
Have your head on the back rest.
- Have my head, okay.
- (Dan) Back rest is good.
Matt, are you ready?
- I think I'm ready.
- (Dan) Alright, you go when you're ready.
- Just floor it, right?
- (Dan) Floor it, till you get to 80 or so.
- Oh, yeah!
88!
- (Dan) That's good, 88!
Is that like back to the future right there?
- Got it to 88!
- (Dan) Yes!
- 88 miles per hour!
- That is an armored car going that fast,
that's ridiculous!
So it's faster than you thought it'd be?
- Just more fun than I thought it'd be.
- (Dan) You're over here like,
okay, you can stop, you can stop now Matt!
(upbeat music)
One thing I've noticed is that you can not
roll up or down the windows.
Push the button, it doesn't roll up and down.
This is the thick, bullet proof glass right there.
I just killed a bug.
Why can't we roll up the windows?
- We have motors inside these
and in normal armored cars we can.
But if you notice on this Tesla
(beeps)
because the glass is thicker,
we didn't wanna have the glass down,
and the client slam the door and break the armored glass.
- If you notice that on the Tesla
maybe we'll show it on mine,
where it kind of goes up and down as you open the door.
Right, isn't that a thing?
So that makes sense, so it is a little bit lower.
There is a little bit of a gap.
Could somebody shoot a bullet in that gap?
- No, well, actually this is armor,
this is our rebated edge, so this is all armor.
- (Dan) Okay, alright.
So you're safe from a bullet,
but if you drive into a lake you're not
going to be breaking this to get out of the car.
Is that right?
- You'd break it through the windshield.
- (Dan) Windshield will break?
Is this not bullet proof?
- No, it's bullet proof,
but you kick through the windshield,
you don't break it out.
You just kick it out.
- (Dan) How hard would you have to kick to do that?
- Pretty hard.
- (Dan) Pretty hard!
We're doing autopilot on the freeway now.
To be fully transparent, this car only has 134 miles on it
and you really shouldn't do autopilot
until 500 to 700 miles on a car
because it does need to calibrate all of the sensors
and everything.
So it is leaning a bit to the left side of the road.
You can see where, like on the left side of the road
and it does show it on there.
But autopilot is working, so that's a plus.
If you're gonna have a bullet proof car
might as well have some autopilot.
(upbeat hiphop music)
(beep)
- (Dan) Look at that, she shuts.
Were you guys excited when you figured that one out?
(laughter)
- There's a lot of engineering and there's a lot of design
and thought process that goes into it.
Yeah, when you figure out these hard engineering challenges
it's always exciting.
- (Dan) What's the most difficult car
you've ever bullet proofed?
- We did a Volkswagen bug and the windshield,
believe it or not, the windshield on it
is really quite curved.
So the windshield on that car is quite difficult.
- (Dan) Most common car that celebrities will-
in the US, that they will bullet proof armor?
- I would say the three cars would probably be
the Chevy Suburban, great vehicle armor,
Toyota Land Cruiser and the Cadillac Escalade.
- (Dan) The coolest super car that you've ever armored?
- We did an Aston Martin, that was the DB8.
It was fantastic.
- (Dan) Is it faster zero to 60 than this car?
- No, this one's still.
- (Dan) This is the fastest car you've ever armored?
- This is the fastest car we've ever armored.
- Yeah, we just drove in it.
And Matt was the boss, the boss driver.
We've shown you what's inside of a bullet proof backpack,
we've shown you the inside of the bullet proofing facility,
and now we've shown you what's inside
of a Tesla P100D that is armored.
Let us know in the comments,
what are some other things you wanna see,
because I'm sure you've always got interesting things
coming up, right?
- Always.
- So, if he has something interesting coming up
he will let us know.
But also we will leave a link in the description.
If you are somebody who is watching this video
and thinking, "Alright, I need my car armored."
You can give these guys a call.
They do awesome work.
There's a few things on these cars that are pretty cool,
like you saw last time the electrified handles,
I think that was on Zach's video,
where he totally tried to trick me and shock me.
But there's some other options,
like the tacks that we showed you before.
I'm thinking that I wanna get a car, release the tacks,
and have a car drive over it and see what happens.
That sound like something we can do?
- Let's do it.
- Stay tuned, we're gonna try to make a video on that
sometime in the next month.
Let's blow out some tires with some tacks
cause that's cool, right?
Its like James Bond.
