A WSJ article I read suggested, though they admitted it was only rumor, that Musk initially wanted the car to be bullet proof. I suspect in the end, since they're not advertising this "feature", the Cybertruck is likely more-resistant-than-average to bullets, but nothing that could be legally advertised. edit: Not a rumor after all, Musk specifically mentions in this clip: [VIDEO]

>It looks like the bed is now always covered by a piece of glass It's not glass, it's a roll-up cover. You can see Jay Leno demo it in this video from 2021: [VIDEO] Bed covers protect your stuff from thieves and also decrease drag (increase range). They are a smart idea, especially for electric trucks.
