Did the broken windows on CyberTruck cause more publicity?

With the broken windows during the reveal they got broader publicity and greater free press than a standard reveal.

Seems like this may be the case where a flop reveal may be more successful and reach a wider audience and way more press than a flawless presentation. A touch embarrassing, but Elon seemed to pull it off regardless.

Who actually cares that the windows are near bulletproof? A feature that is nice to have, but not really the deciding factor in anyones purchase.

They should have had a second vehicle ready to drive on stage when the first one was damaged by that stunt. It was distracting during the remainder of the reveal. When you are planning a "stunt" in the middle of the reveal, I would assume a backup at hand would be a given. I can remember something similar happened before when the frunk was stuck during another reveal... A backup vehicle would be handy in these cases.

I also put in my vote for some refinement to the body design before the final release...

suggesting it was done for the exact above reasons

I'm guessing the test drives started later since they had to fix the windows? Or did they have a couple trucks?
