Yes, it it possible to have a bulletproof car window roll up and down.

I predict we will see a “shatterproof” window demonstration on Thursday.

Also, I read a rumor that Elon will drive a CT on stage and then a Optimus bot will unfold and disconnect from the bed and unpack a stool, table and glass of water. Seriously.
That would be epic!

Hope you all have your wallets open to place an order for one!

It’s possible, depending…. There are various levels of protection. This company appears to offer a handgun level, an AK47 level, a .308 level, and a .308 AP level. They don’t appear offer glass at the “magnum rifle” level (.300 WinMag, .338 Lapua, .50 BMG).

So, can you make a window roll down? Sure, but it ain’t at the higher level. That being said, if you wanted to contact these guys and get some glass that matches your SS panels, you can probably get that to roll down easily.

These guys already have the CT “in their sights”!

Pneumatic windows with a sprung counterweight would be able to handle the glass and roll them up/down. It may not be as thick as you'd think.

The window could be sprung up/closed and an air ram could lower it like an elevator ram on cable(window regulator cable) Also meaning they could pop up in emergencies.

Doubt it.

That was musk being high talking stupid shit.
Musk wasn't high and he was talking straight. Bullet proof glass is an option for any car. Not a very good option for 99.99% of people, but an option nevertheless.

Why do you think that? I know Musk was drinking a glass of whiskey but me and the wife don't call that "high", we're not that old.
They ordered a "very large" pizza with double anchovies and double pineapple on a whim.

Totes not high.

Yeah, but they didn't finish it. That's all the proof you need they weren't both stoned. :LOL: :LOL:

Anyway, Elon had to catch a plane so he may as well eat before the trip to the airport so he could catch some sleep on the flight (to Japan, I think). He looked surprisingly well rested upon his arrival in Japan. It was Joe who recommended the odd pizza combo and Elon is always up to try something new. He's really not much for smoking weed, he barely inhaled last time on Joe's show and never caught a buzz. but the media likes to pretend he's a big "druggie".

Wasn't this just a passing comment on how bullet resistant glass works on the Joe Rogan experience? Not everything Elon converses about is a CT eater egg lol

I just wish we had shields and force-fields already. The Cybertruck futuristic appearance begs for such to be standard features, considering how Sci-Fi has spoiled many of us.

Oh, and a tractor beam for towing or moving someone else out of a preferred parking spot.

Ok, hitting my head to make sure I'm awake now. :rolleyes: :LOL:
