Real question is safety. If you cant break the window when you're underwater or if there is a fire and the doors are blocked you're going to die.
Most people can't break the windows in a normal car unless they have a special tool.

The door has open assist if that counts for anything lol

I was planning on being buried in my Cybertruck anyway

Maybe Glock it open…. I reckon???

Don’t know how many rounds it’d take (or if even feasible depending on how it behaves as a laminate).

If any early adopters are near me and want to test it, I could use different calibers, barrel lengths, and loadings on your windows.😂

(Realistically, you might be able to kick it out after firing one round.)

A breaking point will still break the windows. Then you kick it out of the frame.

And the "jaws of life" are still going to work.

Each CT comes with the Sledge-O-Matic hammer as used on the door panels.

Franz let he hold it, but not swing it. He knew I would have wrecked it.

I still think it is supposed to float, for at least a while.

How do you get underwater if it floats?
Haha, if you’re serious it’ll float for a small period of time like any other vehicle but it’s a heavy truck that is not water tight so it’s going to sink. Once the pressure of water is pushing against the doors you’re not going to get them open until the whole vehicle is submerged.

Definitely don't roll the window down, that's just dumb. If the car shorts out so quickly that you can't do this, then die with some dignity I guess....
