Does Shatter Resistant Windshield = Chip / Crack Resistant?

[BayouCityBob]

The main question I have about the Tesla armor windows is how chip and crack resistant the windshield will be. That thing is going to cost an arm and a leg to replace and it will be extremely prone to rocks and road debris (just due to its size). I want to see a demo where they shoot gravel at 70 mph at the windshield!

I sure hope it is resistant to rocks! I have replaced my Model 3 windshield SEVEN TIMES here in South Texas where the roads are full of gravel, potholes, and semis throwing rocks and gravel off constantly on the highways here. To stop replacing windshields has become one of my top motivators for the Cybertruck these days...

That's Tesla's plan, at least why they began development of the harder glass originally for the Semi.

Agreed! Not many bullets flying around where I live, but way more rocks than I'd like.
