Attention is focused on the story of a Tesla vehicle that withstood 100 bullets. On the 9th (local time), when the Palestinian armed group 'Hamas' launched a surprise attack on Israel, a Tesla 'Model 3' owner reportedly escaped safely through the hail of gunfire.

On the 13th, the Israeli local media outlet 'Walla' reported the miraculous escape story of a Tesla owner living in Kibbutz Mefalsim near the Gaza Strip. At around 6:30 a.m. on the day Hamas invaded Israel, Mr. A received an emergency call-up for reservists from the Israeli military authorities and drove his Model 3 to the assembly point.

However, on the way to the assembly point, Mr. A encountered 15 Hamas operatives armed with assault rifles. Mr. A told the media, "The Hamas operatives opened fire from about 10 meters away." Hamas surrounded the Model 3 in which Mr. A was riding, firing at the engine compartment from the front and the fuel tank from the rear. Some bullets reportedly hit the tires.

The bullets pierced Mr. A's legs and hands. Shrapnel narrowly grazed his skull. As a result, the car seat was stained with blood, but fortunately, Mr. A remained conscious.

Regaining his composure, Mr. A calmly pressed the accelerator and broke through Hamas's encirclement at a speed of 180 km/h, escaping safely. Afterwards, Hamas operatives pursued the Model 3 in a vehicle presumed to be a Toyota Zero, but the high-performance, tuned Model 3 easily outran Hamas's diesel vehicle.

Mr. A then rushed to a hospital for treatment and was able to save his life. The Model 3 that helped him escape safely was hit by about 100 bullets, resulting in a flat front driver's side tire and a cracked windshield. Nevertheless, there were no significant issues with its driving performance.

Regarding this, Mr. A said, "I think the two motors installed in the all-wheel drive adjusted the imbalance between the wheels. Thanks to Tesla, I survived." However, he added, "The vehicle damage is severe, so I think I need to prepare to buy my next Tesla."
