Maybe aside from the devout, we all know it can break. What we are still learning is how much of 'armor glass' is just marketing BS.

Armor glass or laminated on most cars means it will absorb an impact it doesn’t mean it can never crack or deflect bullets without harm lol. While you can glorify that it failed a steel ball, try that with Any other tempered glass side window and it won’t be there after impact. Pushing a rope as you say.
Exactly. We're all coming to grips with reality here. Some are more willing than others.

My point was it was supposed to take a steel ball, and did many times before the “public fail”. Lots of mass and impulse on a small patch didn’t break it, yet a pebble hits the “production” glass and it cracks like ordinary glass. Thats where the “Charlatan” comment becomes relevant. Sells one thing, delivers another.

For side windows sure. All US cars are made with laminated glass like Cybertruck as standard. I call the “public fail” a massive publicity stunt success with them achieving thousands of articles and even shirt sales discussing Tesla. Can’t think of a single auto unveil I didn’t research from the past. Everybody even if not interested seen the Cybertruck with that “stunt”.

Right. A Charlatan can and wants to reach as many people as possible; good for business. This modern day charlatan would make P.T. Barnum proud.

I thought you posted last week you no longer own any Tesla vehicles?
Believe take away is that Cybertruck window glass is tougher than ordinary auto side glass, but not inpenetratable.
The glass industry has break tests that could quantify this versus the status quo nonsense.
Looks like some junk that “artist” that “tagged” Fred @ electrik’s model X would do.
I had to look up The Hideaway and sure enough it's Rodeo Dr in Hollywood - not where one would suspect crazy stuff happening. I bet they still have a well funded police force. Maybe that was staged.

1. False. I own a 4680 Model Y
2. Why do you care? Even if I no longer owned a Tesla, that wouldn’t prohibit me from posting on TMC.

No, that’s not the take away.
The windshield looks no tougher than any other manufacturer’s windshield glass.

Man, the fanatics are doing “double time” today to push false narrative; just like Uncle Elon.
Content for the sake of content is the likely answer here.
YouTubers love spending days on rodeo filming reaction videos.
Smh…… now we are going to have clowns start doing this to owners CT’s. Even if it was intentional….. why??
