I don't believe any of that was staged. There are so many unknowns as to how the audience and market would react that it isn't worth the risk. If anything it was smart that they had the extra parts on-hand simply because they planned to do an Armoured Glass Demonstration.Hi Rick,
You and I believe the same thing about the windows...Here's why I believe it was intentional....I was at the unveiling in the front row. Watched Franz throw the shot puts or whatever you want to call them. After the primary showing of the vehicle and presentation, here's what happened while people's attention was diverted (food, drink, etc.). They rolled the working (initial) truck off the platform, and replaced it with a model that wouldn't drive (just for show). Many people didn't even notice.
Then they took the working truck with the broken windows and rolled it behind the stage (I watched) and they had a crew go to town and replace the windows. This was the vehicle that was going to be used for test rides. They got the window replacement finished and ultimately rolled the truck outside to get ready for the test rides. I asked myself..."If the windows were really not supposed to break, why would they have all the parts necessary to replace them, along with the crew of people that did the work pretty quickly"? It started to smell to me like it was planned from the beginning....And there you go....
Additionally there is footage of the driver's side window successfully deflecting the ball bearing.
