Exactly! Either that or the theory that the second window was normal glass but Elon didn't know is true.

Nope the sledgehammer hitting the driver side door is not enough to knock down the second window.

Its coming out in a few years anyways. Thats plenty time to improve.

Temple of Ridicule Your missing the main point of the demonstration, throw that same ball at a regular plane of glass at another truck and will completely shatter and go through and potentially harm you. The glass that was shown broke, but didn’t go through and it still has proof of not breaking before the live demonstration.

If Elon Musk actually believes the explanation in this video, then he's not as smart as we thought.

Then how the second window broke !

He already figured it out probably.

@@gistfilm This is now the official explanation Elon Musk gave on Joe Rogans podcast. The sledgehammer hit with such impact that not only the window dropped down a bit like it's designed to but possibly even slightly cracked the windows at the bottom, causing them to break when hit with the glass ball. However, every other glass would've shattered entirely, so this is still impressive.

@@gistfilm wtf?!

This isn't the 1960s, breaking a window is not going to enable you to steal it.

Unless youre a good hacker i doubt you could steal it🤣

Well, technically the glass didn’t break, it only shattered, the object didn’t go in.

Why not try hooking it down the door as well

No have the window rolled down a little bit and then it'll break. But good luck getting past the security

Elon is the alien

So elon was trying to evade laws of physics

No, he actually forgot that the window needs to be loose. If you look at the backstage video the window is loose and flexes when the ball hits allowing the glass not to break. On stage the window is all the way up and tight like a windshield and the laminate glass breaks like a tight windshield will.

The Man normal car front window don’t shatter, so be clear.

It depends which window. Not all glass is safety glass.

MyOneBlack Friend Don’t all cars have safety glass? I watched documentaries explaining that the old car windows of the past would sometimes cut up people involved in car crashes.

@@jhm3346 yep

It’s supposed to resist 9mm but it shatters with a ball, very safe

A DH I was wondering that too!! Or like drowning in a car, you break the window.

normally bulletproof glass is designed to break from the insids

The car probably wouldnt even fucking get dented in an accident

Tesla cars are soo safe, this function should hardly be needed. The reinforced glass will protect the occupants more from flying debris, than in the case that it rolls upside down or gets crushed. In the unlikely event that a super heavy truck falls on it, almost every other vehicle would have been crushed to the point that the driver is mashed potato, But most of the time I'm willing to bet that its cold rolled steel frame will be able to stand the punishment, plus it has a triangle, so its invincible.

@@Tyhros Nothing is invincible, everyone or thing has its weakness. Problem with this design is that in case of an heavy accident your body will take the full blow because the truck has no crumble zone. I still love the ugly beast though 😁👍

bilcosby official the window broke because they hit the door with the sledgehammer first and it must’ve cracked the window slightly. So a slight crack made the glass give out

Huh, so that explains the sudden wave of comments saying we are "wrong", whereas this video was published a day after the Cybertruck event before the actual explanation. We were pretty close.

@@piotr9175 Sorry, but that theory doesn't explain the other window which also broke ;)

Best thing I've read in a while

Exactly!!

Made my high giggles come out

The simplest explanations are often correct.

But it wasn't suppose to break

Kylo Meek Good point, especially if it gets wet like in a swamp or ditch full of water where the electric could short out.

Plot twist.. It's a boat too. Lol

Very strong point. I've also thought the same about the structural panels - what about crumple zones? If this thing hits a normal car it could cut right through it. Or if it hits an immovable object the passengers will get turned into jelly.

Then this isn't the truck for you obviously

@@Kenmccarthy89 Good point. Security wise, people'd have to use a good amount of force to bang on the door and then also use force to break the window, both of which would very likely already alert people in the vicinity. But in an emergency this also comes in handy if you can't get the door open you would try banging it open but if that fails, it softens the glass so you can break it easier and get out.

Tejinder Purba And the more Tesla will fix the fault if found true.

my dude, it's glass. if you want to break it and get in, it's not stopping you. the point of this glass is probably to resist accidental knocks that would shatter regular glass, not theft prevention.

jaqs smith Right because we’ve all had something hit our side glass and smash it. Lol. Useless feature.

But it’s not like this is a huge breakthrough for car thieves. Every car other than this cyber truck is already exposed with normal/double pane glass.

@@BC_Hunter something like the thief's fist or the thief's weapon to smash the window like the baseball bat, or a crowbar... Idk, but soon enough, we will see the cybertruck again in 2 years later, who knows how will they improve the car?

You’re supposed to be able to break your side windows so you can get out if the doors are stuck shut. That’s why emergency seatbelt cutters have a side window breaking point on them. Electric doors, unbreakable windows... Sounds like a recipe for cooked people if that thing gets into an accident and starts fire from the battery shorting out.

TheDanishTwig S The truck probably floats.

Good point but, if the truck isn't just buoyant because of design then there would have to be some sort of emergency flotation device that could malfunction and fail.

This is why you’re able to put down windows

The percentage of accidents that involve water submersion is so small that I'm not concerned about it. Although I can understand why others might be.

I wouldn’t call it “irrational fears”. As a Firefighter and Paramedic I actually think this is an excellent point to consider. Just a few weeks ago we had yet another vehicle in a canal which according to witnesses had the victim alive inside and unable to get out. Our response time is under 5 minutes but by the time we got to him it was too late and he eventually died as a result of drowning. This is not the first time I’ve seen this. I personally keep a glass breaking device handy inside my personal vehicles. Some have said in a pinch you can remove a vehicle’s headrest and strike the corner of the tempered glass with one of the metal posts at the bottom of the headrests, but never tried that so not sure how well it works. Nonetheless, if the Cybertruck’s glass is unbreakable from the inside, it had better float or be able to seal off any water intrusion until help arrives if you should so unfortunately find yourself mistakenly in a body of water neighboring the road you once traveled.

Bringing a sledge hammer will get you noticed very quickly. :)

At that point just use the sledgehammer on the window.

@@Sekaro297 noice

@Jasmin No, the video is dead wrong! The glass broke BECAUSE it was attached to the car. When the steel ball hits the glass, the glass tries to transfer the kinetic energy. But the car's steel frame is so much denser than the glass, so it exerts a large force on the glass when the glass tries to move. In some sense, the steel frame (not the steel ball) is what ultimately broke the glass. In prior tests, the glass wasn't actually installed to the car or any other surface and therefore the glass was able to move and bounce with the ball (transferring the energy), and therefore not break.

Yeah ikr *Pilot* twist

Pilot?

correct and to be more precise toggle clamps. you dont twist them to clamp down. its lever action.

But u don’t get the point a regular piece of glass wouldn’t stand it with or without the toggle clamps

I beg to differ. I've seen regular auto glass hit by hammers and baseball bats without breaking.

Good point, I wondered whether they changed them to influence how the glass can resist the steel ball. Your explanation is very plausible.

Brandon Pinder yes but throwing a metal ball is different than throwing a baseball or hitting it with a hammer because the metal ball is much heavier than a standard sized wooded baseball bat and the force is greater with the metal ball

That's very unlikely as if they did that the point of making the glass bullet proof is pointless

@@nickj9112 it is all pointless. Why would you want your window to fall if a shopping cart rolls into it? Seems not so theft proof if all you got to do is kick your door and the window falls

There is a theory going around that the back window was normal glass and was never supposed to be tested, but even if that is not the case, imagine sitting in a car and someone takes a sledgehammer to it, everyone in the car will feel it, the rear window does not have to fall down far in order to lose its support.

@@shubkale376 the angle which he hit the car using the sledge hammer did not have the full force the sledge hammer can inflict , maybe 3-4 kicks would be more than enough

Exactly. It didn't actually give out, regular glass would have totally shattered into bits.

@chief wiggums Ahh, yes. Basic physics is *nonsense.*

@chief wiggums yes it would have shattered I'm the same way... a way that's just like not shattering. As in a windshield ALSO wouldn't shatter, but it would have cracked in the same way. The glass is clearly superior to wind shield glass however... did you not see the drop tests? I've seen an excellent science informed explanation of why the glass broke on the truck but not the drop test. That's that the glass was well supported in the drop test, and usually it would be on the truck as well, but after the door was hit with the hammer, the window slipped a little from its frame a D wasn't supported at the top, education gave it more flex, which compromised its potential. But even then it succeeded far above what side window glass does in nearly all other cars. But that gives rise to another problem. Normal car side window glass greats like that by DESIGN. It's break away glass. It shatters in tiny pieces for the sake of safety. It can still cut you, but not deeply, and it's vital for vehicle rescues by cops or fire fighters. And seeing as that one guy got trapped in his tesla due to a software problem, an easy exit option through the window might be life or death even without a wreck.

ravissary79 omg thats so true. But the excellent scientific explanation u referred to is literally this video 😂😂

@@felixzehetner7302 lol... I forgot what video this comment is on. *facepalm* Self owned

This is correct. It is the door opening that lowers the window. There is no movement in the demo for when the sledgehammer hits. I don't agree with the premise of this video. Sorry. Materials engineers have said it was due to microfractures due to previous testing. This makes more sense to me.

Still UGLY TRUCK.

macgreiner they'd have to have hit the glass at the exact same spot multiple times for previous testing issues to make it fail that spectacularly. And if you go by what other bullet proof glass can withstand, they can take multiple gunshots at close range and still maintain integrity, even if it spiderwebs. This was just a guy throwing a steel ball like a kid just learning to throw. I'm thinking they knew from previous experience it breaks and still went with it hoping the actual demo would get lucky.

@@SabeerAbdulla They NEVER SAID IT WAS BULLETPROOF!!🙄
