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.

@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.

@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.

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

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.

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.

[@diannafiredal]

It's not even a sledgehammer. Apparently it's a deadblow hammer which has a rubber coated head, and a hollow head with lead shot or something similar inside it, in order to deliver the impact over a longer period and IIRC it's also supposed to assist in ensuring the head hits square to the surface. You can see he deliberately twists the hammer on the normal truck door hit so that these features of the hammer do not work properly, and the door is dented. For the tesla door, he hits it normally with no twisting. Just nice, square hits.

[@chrisperkins3026]

No. it makes the opposite of sense

[@weblure]

The second attempt on the back door's window causes all these theories to fall apart, even Musk's own explanation on Twitter. The guy in this video claims that having support on all edges is what allows the glass to be durable. However, the opposite is true. Glass is strongest when it can flex and distribute force across its entire surface. Notice that in the highest ball drop, they completely undo the clamps. The glass bounces all over the place, allowing it to dampen the force of the impact. They're not *tightening* it between every drop -- there's no way those clamps are going to come loose from a little bit of jiggling. What they're doing is *loosening* the clamps to allow for more room for the glass to flex with each successive drop. The glass inside the truck's window frames doesn't have this luxury. There is very little room for it to flex within those frames, and the panel is smaller than what they were testing with during the drop. This makes it much easier to shatter. In addition, both throws during the demonstration hit near the edges of the window -- especially on the back window. Glass is most vulnerable near its frame because, again, it can't flex as much as compared to when it's hit in the center. Notice that in their testing before the demonstration, the ball hits the window nearly dead-center. You can see how much the glass wobbles and flexes, dispersing the force of the impact. It's also possible that the driver-side window sustained some micro-fractures from their earlier testing, or even from the sledge hammer test. However, this obviously wouldn't have any effect on the back seat window, so those are certainly not the main causes.
