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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
OmegaEnvych how many hundreds of millions of gas cars have there been over the last 110 years and how many thousand electric cars over the last 5 to 8 years?

I feel the more the people explain how that glass broke, the more they’re ‘explaining’ for potential theft/attack scheme on how to actually break that glass.
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.
@@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?
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.
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.
Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another. Hope you understand Now.
I haven't even seen the demo aside from this video, but I'd like to point out that I'm fairly sure that hammer is not a sledge, but a rubber deadblow mallet. huge difference. Deadblows are literally designed to spread the kinetic energy out over a larger surface area and longer time frame to reduce the likelihood of breaking objects. We use them religiously in Landscaping for adjusting blocks.
@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.
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 😁👍
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.
@@AdarshRajCR7 What the fuck are you idiots talking about?? It clearly looks like the windows came down a little. THAT'S IT. No need to go apeshit conspiracy theorist on this shit.
In the clip where the window went down, this wasn't because it slid down due to the force, but because the door opened somehow due to the force, which obviously didn't happen on stage.
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.
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.
GeopioneerGSXR well. They showed a video where they shot at the stuff the body panel was made of so there's that claim. Making a truck body bullet proof without making the glass bullet proof is just plain stupid. 🤷♂️
Just saying there is a reason why he showed the back stage demo for "the windows going down" in slow mo and not on stage...hint slow the video down to .25 speed at 2:36.
2:57 In that shot the window doesn't fall down/open a bit, but the door opens. (If you look at the fabric covered part, you see that it also moves outwards afterwards).. I don't know if the door was ajar a little or if someone was inside the car and started exiting immediately after the throw, but it's the door that starts opening that creates the gap - not the window going down.
@@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
No. Someone: Me. Elon: You fix it. And if it fails again, then you are fired. But if it works properly you get a promotion ! Musk knows how to motivate people, and it's not through fear.
Wavetrex Infinity it even works in your job. I have had plenty of supervisors and the ones that were assholes would drive people away and nobody likes to work in that type of environment. Had this one younger supervisor about 3 years older than me. Really motivated his employees. Let it be known when the day went smooth and we killed it. Positive attitude played music we all liked. Definitely a difference in improvement and definitely room for it as well.
You think they would have tested it properly first before the failing demo. Especially at an unveiling event - probably indicates that they don’t want to waste money on quality checking the products beforehand in order to improve their margins.
It broke because they’d been throwing crap at it all day. Also it still didn’t go through the window. You throw that ball at any regular window it’d go through!
It didnt go through because the window has plastic fli over it like the windshields, not because of its own strength. Once glass shatters it shatters, it only held up because of the plastic film.

@@DaManBearPig Perhaps it wasn't the same glass. The window was down doesn't really explain why it broke, however. Still, it's obviously tougher than regular glass.
@@ragnardanneskjold7259 the window being down DOES explain why it broke. An entire edge of that window was supported by NOTHING. It allowed for too much vibration and force wasn't evenly distributed.
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.
What about an emergency when the window needs to be broken to get out it’s occupants? Unless your planning to drive your truck into war I don’t see the need.
Dude theres a special tool to shatter glass. At least in germany this tool is on every bus of publich transportation. Hit the window with this pointy metal tool and it will shatter to small pieces to prevent cutting yourself if you have to escape through the window. Pretty sure even this tesla "armored" glass will have a tool like that.

Vibrations travel across all surfaces especially if they are made of the same material it could pass to the other side and break the base for the other window
IMHO the window dropped down during the backstage test due to the door opening. As you can see the blue towel moved pushed by the door opening. The windows always drop down just an inch when you open the doors in all Tesla models.
Yeah I'm not buying this guys explanation. It makes more sense for it to have been a marketing ploy. And if it wasn't a marketing ploy, it should have been. My girlfriend isn't into cars or tech in any way shape or form, yet even she knew about the glass breaking at the demo.

Elon and his team forgot one basic rule of engineering and live demonstrations. Mr. Murphy ALWAYS finds his way into the equation. They compounded the opportunity for that bugger to have a laugh, at their expense, by attempting the ball toss a second time. A real gut buster that one.
You are correct and he threw that ball like a 4 year old girl. Total BS and so what if the window was down a little, then the glass is SHIT because people drive with the window open a little ALL THE TIME, so a rock is going to shatter my window because I had it open a couple of inches? F that.
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.
diannafiredal anyone who has used a sledgehammer a lot can see he pulls out of a full hit , you will never drive a peg in or break concrete hitting like that , my gran hits harder than him
Im glad to see I wasn't the only one to notice he was going easy on the door, and yes that is a dead blow hammer they are hollow and filled with tiny metal pellets.
So, a thief needs to bring to things: a sledgehammer to get the window down a little bit. And then a steel ball to smash the "bullet-proof" window. Interesting.
I heard on the "Our Ludicrous Future" podcast that the second window isn't made of the same material, they got this info from a Tesla employee. Also they were recommended not to try any truck window tests on stage.
karma tam ya I agree. I find it hard to believe that the windows fell down. The exterior looked like it absorbed the shock EXTREMELY well. Not only that but he only hit the drivers side door. The drivers side door looked like it absorbed the impact so well that the shock couldn’t have penetrated to the passengers side door and cause the window to fall down.
@@anthonyjames4319 the vibration came from the sledgehammer hitting the door... You can clearly see it vibrates... And vibration travels, just because they didn't hit the back door doesn't mean that it didn't vibrate when they hit the front
Excellent analysis... I had just assumed that, after being beaten on all day, the glass had finally reached its limit. Elon’s reaction was genuine, and his integrity is high, so there had to be a good explanation. Thanks for sorting this out.
The window looks like it lowers itself. Is it suppose to? Why would hitting the door with a hammer lower the windows unless it’s by design? Either it’s not well made, and the windows fell, OR it was designed this way and it was a MAJOR oversight in their live window test.
@@paladro What is your problem my dude? We're not fanboys... you are the one with an agenda in these comments. Do you know Real Engineering?

The second door was not hit with the sledge hammer and it also broke. I can see people saying that the hit on the first door also made the second window go down, but that’s simply not the case, well from what I can tell anyway, watch the footage, the second window does not go down whatsoever. I don’t even know if the first window goes down when it’s hit with the sledge hammer, maybe a tiny bit, but what is also a possibility is if you watch the back stage test, the second window clearly shakes and goes down a bit when the ball bounces off the first window which could explain why it was able to shatter when performed on stage. As for the first window, the back stage hit really shook that window so much so that it possibly loosened it from its frame, and unlike the glass that they dropped the ball onto from height, they weren’t able to retighten it after the hit like they could the table glass because it was in a door frame and it being loose in there was what made it susceptible to shattering. I don’t know, just theories.
@Cody Columbia I can see you're a thinker. I like that. But this 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 frame is so much denser than the glass, so it exerts a large force on the glass when the glass tries to move on impact. 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 (hence why the glass was falling down) or any other surface and therefore the glass was able to move and bounce with the ball (transferring the energy), and therefore not break.
alright so in the 80's cyberpunk dystopia this thing was clearly designed for, the glass will keep you nice and safe UNLESS someone bangs on your door first
You're right. The explanation in this video is wrong. Glass are more resistant if they are not constraint at their extremities. Always keep your window slightly open if someone might want to break it. I think the explanation is somewhere in the seals. In the repetition the window moved a lot. On stage I don't see any movement.
Fred fred - Yeah. The ball went INTO the glass. The glass didn’t break at a pressure point somewhere else from leverage so this video is very stupid. I want to know why the windows are falling. If it’s by design, then they would have seen this coming anyway. If it’s not by design, then the windows are VERY poorly constructed. People slam their doors multiple times a day and the windows shouldn’t be lowering like that from vibration.
Ben Herbivore , The amount of bullshit that people are prepared to swallow is indeed the biggest elephant in the room. My Vehicle is from 2005, l slam the doors l can’t recall how many times a day, and the glass is closed where it’s supposed to be. The reason l know this is that l double check at night to make sure that no rain gets in, and they are always tight. Which is a better marketing ploy? Failure of glass or Impact resistant everything vehicle ? I would think the latter will have tens of millions of view by the next morning.
What’s funny is jerry was in the crowd, and he said that right before they threw the ball at the window. He has his own video on his channel if you want to watch it.
If that was the case, most cars would have broken windows, specially considering that their kind of glass is made to shatter. If you are referring to a hit to the door first and then a big impact on the glass, well, i don't think the door hitting bug will be there when it's released. In any case, impacts this big aren't common in day to day life.
Actually, when the glass isn't in place and it breaks, it is actually a good design. When an accident happens, the glass can be broken easier and you are able to exit faster.
Imagine what would happen to a normal truck under the same conditions, it would be so dented you wouldn’t even be able to open the door! This is a small issue by comparison
@@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
This doesn't explain why the rear window broke, though. Although, the guys at Our Ludicrous Future channel said that a Tesla employee confirmed to them that the rear windows were normal and were not supposed to be tested for strength. They said they didn't want to say his name because it might get him into trouble (since he didn't notify Elon about this).
That sounds like a pretty reasonable explanation but even if it was the same kind of glass, if you sit in the car and someone hits it hard with a big hammer, everyone in the car will feel it, not just the driver. The back door would not be impacted as severely but would still get some of the same vibrations. Its almost a bit of a miracle that the front window didn't drop as far down as it did backstage but both windows could still have fallen down slightly. Maybe what I said in the video will turn out to be incorrect, but even then its interesting for people to see this since a lot of people missed it in Elon's clip (including me).
Exactly. The clamps are and were not secure. Anybody who uses toggle clamps knows that they go over center and lock. They are designed to hold. I think the toggles were adjusted loose on the table on purpose....to loosely hold the glass so the metal inside the rubber bumpers wouldn't inadvertently touch the glass during the test...thereby increasing the chance of breaking. That's why they had to secure the clamps each time.
also the trunk crumbels wtf why would u think otherwise :D the front is disconnected by the side panels ... its really not that difficult lol. its probably the safest of any tesla on the road. and therefore the safest car if no other car comes out thats safer then the m3 by then
@@NostalgicTribe For throwing metal balls at his windows? What other car manufacturer would even dare attempt something like that live. Even though that was a minor bump that presentation was all ballsy to me. Tesla is still leading the game, as they have been for years.
@@0xsergy oh I dont know man, one of those i heard someone say that kinda things. Nah cause they made a bunch of them i think. People may not buy them till they fix the issue.
Actually i think you might have it backwards. My theory is that the glass broke because it was too tightly held in place by the extra strong frame. If you look closely at both demos, backstage and on stage, the glass has room to move and vibrate. The clamps that they used with the on stage glass test actually allowed the glass to bounce and vibrate after each test (review the footage) thus spending the energy put into it from the ball hitting it. The backstage glass test wasnt completely framed either and you can actually see the glass moving away from the truck just after it is hit (again review the footage). The glass installed in the truck was tightly framed and had no room to vibrate and the energy put into it from the test had to go somewhere so it broke the glass.
The second window also fell down from the first door being hit and the first window being smashed. That's enough vibration to make the second window fall down especially that we see how easily the first window fell.
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.

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.

Good ol jerry
Kisna Dr it’s not glass
and glass can break*
Doesn’t anyone know that car glass is meant to break in case of emergency :/
yes, but who cares its bulletproof lol. so much cooler
Are u dumb? The glass can be broken from the inside just not the outsidd
Nexa no you can’t.. it’s almost impossible to do that
@@Sxwifter no, some bulletproof glasses are built to only be broken from one side. If they didn't, then world leaders would not use it.
If I recall correctly tempered glass is weaker on it's edges. quick link: ua-cam.com/video/0i5rycLJ3D8/v-deo.html
I want side windows that i can break. To get out in an emergency.
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.
Even though the glass broke and the ball didn’t go through it that’s still impressive!
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.
Hernando Malinche people burned alive inside his Tesla car because of this exact reason.
@BuckBundy that nuts hes still allowed to manufacture vehicles
Buck Bundy how many electric cars burned due to battery damage vs. how many Gas powered cars burned due to engine/gas tank damage and gas ignition?
OmegaEnvych how many hundreds of millions of gas cars have there been over the last 110 years and how many thousand electric cars over the last 5 to 8 years?
That’s not even an apples to oranges comparison. That’s an apples to chicken wings comparison. 😂🤣😂
You got anymore juicy facts for us Mr. Wizard?
I feel the more the people explain how that glass broke, the more they’re ‘explaining’ for potential theft/attack scheme on how to actually break that glass.
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?
Conclusion: "always first hit the door then glasses."
You meam opposite?
hahhaha
You mean the opposite? The glass would have worked if it was hit before the door
@@randomhuman3525 what he means is.. If I you want to break glass.. Hit the door first.
Lol
Hopefully the glass can be broken fairly easily from the inside, imagine getting trapped in or accidentally driving into a body of water
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.

This explanation doesn’t work for the second window.
Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.
Hope you understand Now.
Also, I don't see any sign of the windows moving with the sledgehammer hits.
Yeap, it doesn't work for the second window
I think the impact just wobbled the whole car aye, including the other windows
@@AdityaKumar-cy2cr The sky is blue and the grass is green.... I hope that you understand now.
The lesson to be learned from this is that you can't simply have unbreakable windows and non deforming doors at the same time.
HE ALSO THREW THE BALL AT THE WINDOW THAT WASNT HAMMERED
The other window also fell down when the door was hit.
Btw that window went up on its own...watch the video carefully it messes with your head if you dont pay attention to it
Bulletproof, not shatterproof

Um he said it's a transperant metal
I haven't even seen the demo aside from this video, but I'd like to point out that I'm fairly sure that hammer is not a sledge, but a rubber deadblow mallet. huge difference. Deadblows are literally designed to spread the kinetic energy out over a larger surface area and longer time frame to reduce the likelihood of breaking objects. We use them religiously in Landscaping for adjusting blocks.
Elon musk was given plausible deniability so his response would be genuine.
Bullet proof *glass* : * shatters like it's designed to do *
Everyone else: wtf the glass shattered when he hit it
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
So it means that if I want to break someone's glass on this car, I have to hit the door first 🤔 nice to know, thanks 😉
that's more roundabout then just throwing a heavy steel ball at a normal window.
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.
In many accidents people are rescued and saved by breaking the windows and pulling them out.....
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 😁👍
The clamps - not screws - popped loose when the glass flexed.
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
But why also the back window broke. That wasn't hit by the hammer?
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.

The metal ball is so cool that it puts its own beed down! It doesn't need us to hold it
So it is exactly as elon said: "Room for improvement".
Need to make it so the windows dont drop under that kind of force.
In the clip where the window went down, this wasn't because it slid down due to the force, but because the door opened somehow due to the force, which obviously didn't happen on stage.
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!!🙄

I don't know if the door was ajar a little or if someone was inside the car and started exiting immediately after the throw, but it's the door that starts opening that creates the gap - not the window going down.
So basically if you wanna break the glass kick the door twice

Tesla is skynet
Cracked but didnt break or shatter, still a slight success.
It's a huge success considering all of the attention Tesla received due to the glass breaking.
Elon and his team forgot one basic rule of engineering and live demonstrations. Mr. Murphy ALWAYS finds his way into the equation. They compounded the opportunity for that bugger to have a laugh, at their expense, by attempting the ball toss a second time. A real gut buster that one.
He pulled out of giving the door a full sledge hammer hit , it just looks wrong
You are correct and he threw that ball like a 4 year old girl. Total BS and so what if the window was down a little, then the glass is SHIT because people drive with the window open a little ALL THE TIME, so a rock is going to shatter my window because I had it open a couple of inches? F that.
He also hit the aluminum door with the side of the hammer head, probably had rubber inserts on the head of the hammer.
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.
diannafiredal anyone who has used a sledgehammer a lot can see he pulls out of a full hit , you will never drive a peg in or break concrete hitting like that , my gran hits harder than him
Im glad to see I wasn't the only one to notice he was going easy on the door, and yes that is a dead blow hammer they are hollow and filled with tiny metal pellets.
So just a broken glass started this whole thing...
The glass break because of the 'Matrix team.'
Temple of Ridicule nice name
So, a thief needs to bring to things: a sledgehammer to get the window down a little bit. And then a steel ball to smash the "bullet-proof" window. Interesting.
The second window breaking disproves this theory. It's something else.
The hammers force could've slightly wobbled the second window as well, it was just such a small shift we could not catch on the camera.
Hitting the windows back stage weakened them and plus that with sledge hammer
I heard on the "Our Ludicrous Future" podcast that the second window isn't made of the same material, they got this info from a Tesla employee.
Also they were recommended not to try any truck window tests on stage.
@@AX_Mk2 yer words sounds like bullshit. tesla fanboy?

karma tam ya I agree. I find it hard to believe that the windows fell down. The exterior looked like it absorbed the shock EXTREMELY well. Not only that but he only hit the drivers side door. The drivers side door looked like it absorbed the impact so well that the shock couldn’t have penetrated to the passengers side door and cause the window to fall down.
The windows falling don’t account for the damage anyway. The ball went into the glass.
They weren’t down for the demo.. and the back door never got hit with the hammer
Noticed that as well. This is a cop out.
The front window was smashed and that vibration and force of the ball was close enough to the back window to knock it down a bit
Scepto there was hardly any vibration because the shattering of the window absorbed it.
@@anthonyjames4319 the vibration came from the sledgehammer hitting the door... You can clearly see it vibrates...

Yea his argument is very lame. He needs to stop this defending mess. Musk admitted there is room for improvement after the window fail.
Excellent analysis...
I had just assumed that, after being beaten on all day, the glass had finally reached its limit. Elon’s reaction was genuine, and his integrity is high, so there had to be a good explanation. Thanks for sorting this out.
After all other demonstrations i wasnt bothered by the glass break

2:58 the door goes up? hmm. Maybe the blue carpet is to hide the open door.

The second door was not hit with the sledge hammer and it also broke. I can see people saying that the hit on the first door also made the second window go down, but that’s simply not the case, well from what I can tell anyway, watch the footage, the second window does not go down whatsoever. I don’t even know if the first window goes down when it’s hit with the sledge hammer, maybe a tiny bit, but what is also a possibility is if you watch the back stage test, the second window clearly shakes and goes down a bit when the ball bounces off the first window which could explain why it was able to shatter when performed on stage. As for the first window, the back stage hit really shook that window so much so that it possibly loosened it from its frame, and unlike the glass that they dropped the ball onto from height, they weren’t able to retighten it after the hit like they could the table glass because it was in a door frame and it being loose in there was what made it susceptible to shattering. I don’t know, just theories.
@Cody Columbia I can see you're a thinker. I like that. But this 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 frame is so much denser than the glass, so it exerts a large force on the glass when the glass tries to move on impact. 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 (hence why the glass was falling down) or any other surface and therefore the glass was able to move and bounce with the ball (transferring the energy), and therefore not break.
alright so in the 80's cyberpunk dystopia this thing was clearly designed for, the glass will keep you nice and safe UNLESS someone bangs on your door first
The last time they dropped the ball on the glass they actually loosened all the clamps and the glass bounced a good six inches.
You're right. The explanation in this video is wrong. Glass are more resistant if they are not constraint at their extremities. Always keep your window slightly open if someone might want to break it. I think the explanation is somewhere in the seals. In the repetition the window moved a lot. On stage I don't see any movement.
Fred fred - Yeah. The ball went INTO the glass. The glass didn’t break at a pressure point somewhere else from leverage so this video is very stupid. I want to know why the windows are falling. If it’s by design, then they would have seen this coming anyway. If it’s not by design, then the windows are VERY poorly constructed. People slam their doors multiple times a day and the windows shouldn’t be lowering like that from vibration.
Ben Herbivore ,
The amount of bullshit that people are prepared to swallow is indeed the biggest elephant in the room.
My Vehicle is from 2005, l slam the doors l can’t recall how many times a day, and the glass is closed where it’s supposed to be.
The reason l know this is that l double check at night to make sure that no rain gets in, and they are always tight.

If that was the case, most cars would have broken windows, specially considering that their kind of glass is made to shatter.
If you are referring to a hit to the door first and then a big impact on the glass, well, i don't think the door hitting bug will be there when it's released. In any case, impacts this big aren't common in day to day life.

ITS TRANSPARENT METAL
Jerryrigeverything,nice
What's the point of showing it to all
Actually, when the glass isn't in place and it breaks, it is actually a good design. When an accident happens, the glass can be broken easier and you are able to exit faster.
always looking for the positives
just because it broke dont mean your going thru it good liuck with that do you know what huricaine tint is
Nonononono... This is what really happened..
Marketing guy: At the event, Imma surprise ya
Elon: Yes
Nope the ball was made by Nokia
Logically makes sense., so arguement made.
Why did the window fall by hitting the door? Seems like a flaw in the design.
Its just a prototype. One of the Tesla Semitrucks isn't even rain proof, the Cybertruck didn't even have windshield wipers.
@@cleantechnica or mirrors....shouldn't of released it if not ready.
Also it's not normal hitting the truck that strong.... Would you rather choose the windows go down a bit or the door is destroyed?
Imagine what would happen to a normal truck under the same conditions, it would be so dented you wouldn’t even be able to open the door! This is a small issue by comparison
@@jonfischer9781 cybertruck isn't released yet
Finally the truck I drew when i was 5 years old its getting a shot
Hahaha! Yes, doesn't look like freehand. Do you remember if you drew it with a ruler? Don't see any color, was that before you had crayons?
@@garyabc I made my order need to save some money I wanted I think is badass
daniel lara original 😒
Maybe it was meant to roll down in an impact so that if there is an accident it would be easier to break rhe glass to save the person inside. :D
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
@@Whatsa-jaguar-now thats A pretty good point bit of a design flaw right there
This doesn't explain why the rear window broke, though.
Although, the guys at Our Ludicrous Future channel said that a Tesla employee confirmed to them that the rear windows were normal and were not supposed to be tested for strength. They said they didn't want to say his name because it might get him into trouble (since he didn't notify Elon about this).
That sounds like a pretty reasonable explanation but even if it was the same kind of glass, if you sit in the car and someone hits it hard with a big hammer, everyone in the car will feel it, not just the driver. The back door would not be impacted as severely but would still get some of the same vibrations. Its almost a bit of a miracle that the front window didn't drop as far down as it did backstage but both windows could still have fallen down slightly. Maybe what I said in the video will turn out to be incorrect, but even then its interesting for people to see this since a lot of people missed it in Elon's clip (including me).
this is unlikely, seems both windows were damaged equally.
I was thinking 💭 the same
@@ZhangyXD Exactly.
my theory is the exact opposite: it broke because it was tight.
Crypto Happy me also
Eh nop
ARE U SOME DUMB 5 YEAR OLDS OR SOMETHING BECAUSE THAT IS THE MOST DUMB REASON I HEARD FOR GLASS BREAKING
Exactly. The clamps are and were not secure. Anybody who uses toggle clamps knows that they go over center and lock. They are designed to hold. I think the toggles were adjusted loose on the table on purpose....to loosely hold the glass so the metal inside the rubber bumpers wouldn't inadvertently touch the glass during the test...thereby increasing the chance of breaking. That's why they had to secure the clamps each time.
Thought that too, as glass is brittle an the more abrupt and / or punctual the applied force is the more likely it will brake.
Is this truck safe for car accidents? Because it doesn’t fold or crumble to absorb energy.
TwinkieDude12 it has a large crumble Zone With the enormes frunk
Less energy absorbed by panels/parts crumpling and things breaking is more energy transferred to the occupants.
Like shaking a baby. It's bad.
the Tesla batteries will . . . "absorb the energy" and extend the running time
also the trunk crumbels wtf why would u think otherwise :D the front is disconnected by the side panels ... its really not that difficult lol. its probably the safest of any tesla on the road. and therefore the safest car if no other car comes out thats safer then the m3 by then

@@NostalgicTribe For throwing metal balls at his windows? What other car manufacturer would even dare attempt something like that live. Even though that was a minor bump that presentation was all ballsy to me. Tesla is still leading the game, as they have been for years.

It would've shattered on any other car window
I agree that this suggestion sounds like speculation.
Actually i think you might have it backwards. My theory is that the glass broke because it was too tightly held in place by the extra strong frame. If you look closely at both demos, backstage and on stage, the glass has room to move and vibrate. The clamps that they used with the on stage glass test actually allowed the glass to bounce and vibrate after each test (review the footage) thus spending the energy put into it from the ball hitting it. The backstage glass test wasnt completely framed either and you can actually see the glass moving away from the truck just after it is hit (again review the footage). The glass installed in the truck was tightly framed and had no room to vibrate and the energy put into it from the test had to go somewhere so it broke the glass.
Not a bad thought!!!
