Bow hunting enthusiast Joe Rogan bets Elon Musk he can penetrate a Cybertruck with an arrow… but it bounces clean off in hilarious video

Bowhunting enthusiast Joe Rogan was shocked after shooting an arrow at a Tesla Cybertruck, only to find that the projectile bounced off the car.

It stemmed from a bet the podcast host made with Elon Musk live when the billionaire revealed three demonstrations that tested the exterior: emptying a Tommy gun, shooting a .45-caliber handgun and a nine-millimeter at the side of a car.

“Can I shoot him with an arrow?” “I bet I can get there,” Rogan said during episode 2054 of The Joe Rogan Experience.

“Yes, it will be fine,” Musk replied with a slight laugh. Rogan then bet $1 that he couldn’t break through outside.

After the podcast, the guys tested Rogan’s order in a warehouse, and ended up smashing the tip of the arrow on the Cybertruck.

Rogan retracted the bow and let the arrow fly, causing a loud bang as the projectile hit the Cybertruck.

Rogan is believed to have used a 90-pound compound bow that fired 520-grain arrows at 300 feet per second with a razor-sharp broadhead.

A video of the demonstration was posted online, showing Rogan reading the bow while Musk stood back smoking a cigar.

Rogan retracted the bow and let the arrow fly, causing a loud bang as the projectile hit the Cybertruck.

The arrow left a dent, but it was straightened out when Rogan found it separated from the shaft on the ground.

“That’s impressive,” Rogan said as he showed the flat arrow to the camera.

The “bet” arose when the two broached the subject of the Cybertruck, scheduled for launch this year after years of delays.

Tesla’s Cybertruck — priced between $50,000 and $70,000 — is an all-electric exotic with a futuristic, metallic gray body.

The truck weighs up to 7,000 pounds, which Musk likened to a Ford F-150.

While the Cybertruck survived being shot with an arrow, it didn’t fare well when it was smashed with a hammer during its unveiling in 2019 (pictured)

It was described as a vehicle that would “change the look of the roads”, with “better utility than a performance truck than a sports car”.

The Cybertruck has a range of 250 to 500 miles and an estimated zero to 60 mph time of 2.9 to 6.5 seconds.

During the podcast, Musk said he’s working on getting the car’s speed from zero to 60 mph in the Beast Edition.

Although the Cybertruck survived being shot with an arrow, it didn’t fare well when it was smashed with a hammer during its reveal in 2019.

Designer Franz von Holzhausen hit the car’s door with a sledgehammer to prove its sturdiness, and while it appeared to be undamaged, this “broke the base of the glass,” according to Musk.

Von Holzhausen threw a steel ball at the windows of the futuristic-looking car, which unexpectedly cracked under the pressure of the impact.

Musk – who continued to give a presentation in front of the broken-down car – was heard muttering “Oh my God” after the unintended damage was done.

The Tesla CEO uploaded a video to Twitter showing the car surviving the same off-theater testing before its unveiling — before the impact of a sledgehammer blew the door open.

It is also conceivable that the combination of the three different attacks – the ball, the hammer, and then the ball again – pushed the glass to its actual breaking point.

Millions still own one of the future models, with their number exceeding two million over the past four years.

The first finished model finally rolled off the assembly line in July
