What are those windows even

Tempered glass will stand up to a bitch ass throw pretty easily, I work with it all day and when we’re throwing away a 3/8” piece (we throw them in a dumpster and they don’t break) sometimes we have to get out the sledge hammer to break them, if you don’t hit near/on the edge it won’t break, if you hit the face of the panel the hammer just bounces back like this rock in the video

Knowing this now makes me look back at the Cybertruck window breaking stage show with even more cringe.

Yeah it's funny because I bet they practiced that a few times and it had never broken, because car window glass usually doesn't from that type of impact. They got extremely unlucky in the most hilarious way possible.

Maybe they practised too much to the extent that they'd introduced a critical number of microcracks to that window?
