Three things here: 1) the engineers knew that the glass on the vehicle would break, which is why they did the drop test to allow the glass more surface area and wiggle room to absorb the impact; 2) the engineers had no idea Musk would then ask them to throw the ball at the vehicle glass; and 3) Musk took zero part in the testing, design, or assembly, otherwise he would have known about 1) and 2).

The official reason given was that when they hit the door with the sledgehammer previously it must have cracked an edge which is much easier to do and weakened the rest of the glass

Sources please. Because what I heard straight from elon in an interview is that the believe the sledgehammer hitting the door caused the base of the window to shatter, and compromised the strength of the window.

The glass pane in test videos is laying out. The pressure causes it to flex and move slightly, and it doesn't shatter or break. But when installed in the window it is held in place, basically causing the force to be limited in it's ability to radiate out from an impact.

Because it is an "armoured car". It's not about the looks. Yes, they definitely did weld a bunch of plates together, and that is because casting or moulding the alloy would compromise the armour. That's why most military vehicles look so angular. For comparison, type in OTO R2.5 Gorgona and OTO R3 Capraia, which is are very similar vehicles. They are effectively armoured sedans designed in the 1980s for police, military, and private security use, and they have a few similarities with the Cybertruck.

[@truthtimetv4575]

your thinking about windshields not side windows. Side windows always shatter to a million pieces there not laminated like windshields

[@akj2387]

@@truthtimetv4575 Side windows aren't laminated because you could be trapped in a rollover

[@Lucatin]

My original comment is partially incorrect as repliers have pointed out, regular side windows will shatter and the ball would go right through. However I still stand by my point; if side windows were made from the same common laminated glass windshields are made of, the ball would most probably not go through, and as we know, regular windshields are far from "bulletproof". Admittedly my original comment is pretty unclear.

[@akj2387]

@@Lucatin Yeah, I agree with you, and Tesla never said anything about being bullet proof, just armoured glass.... Also Laminated glass means there is plastic in between two pieces of glass, that's it.

[@Lucatin]

@Mûne Hâlwin I know all this and completely agree. I don't think people understand my point, which is my fault for not making it very clear. My point is: The type of laminated glass found in your average windshield - that's not remotely designed to stop a bullet - would probably stop the ball, so it's not impressive that Musk's "bulletproof" glass can also stop it. It's supposed to stop bullets, so a metal ball like that thrown by a man shouldn't be able to warp it at all. Therefore it's clearly very bad bullet resistant glass.
