That crushed flat (vs curved) windshield is worse than I expected. Not liking that peak roof.
It looks like it could easily cave in since it is way flatter than a typical windshield.

What are you smoking dude. Curved glass vs flat would hold up better? ? Yes curved steel and far more durable materials would hold up better curved vs flat. But glass, pfft.

Given the weight of the truck with the battery pack. There is no way a curved GLASS roof or windscreen hold up better under that pressure.
It actually did quite well considering.

The windscreen is slightly curved and not completely flat. Just like the front grill is round, and the CT sides are also curved so it bulges out at the doors.
Sorry. I realize not complete flat. I said this in that post to try to clarify: way flatter than a typical windshield.

Epic photos! I'm trying to understand what we see in the bed. Is the midgate area NOT steel as we have seen in frames? It looks ripped apart.

Might be passive weight of gravity on the glass following the roll, glass is only held together by the interlayering as its now cracked thoroughly.
