Hail Proof?

[Red Beard Ops]

Does anyone have good pictures / cases of Cybertrucks that have been though bad hail storms? I'm curious on how they perform with the glass roof....

I was in a hail storm a month back with my Silvarado before taking delivery of the CT and it got damaged pretty bad; just curious on how the CT will hold up...

Curious too! Metal will be ok I bet

Very curious as well. It should hold up better than this poor WRX.

Gotta love Colorado. I drove in a hailstorm for about 5 mins at around 35 mph and it sounded like the glass was going to break but it was fine. I don't recommend it though.

Monster midnight hailstorm buries northeast Denver

.....
The Stapleton and Central Park (Denver, CO USA) areas were pounded by baseball-sized hail while golf ball-sized hail pounded the Tower Road area.
The hail piled up to 6 inches deep, with drifts of 12 inches, bringing traffic to a standstill and sending residents scurrying for cover anywhere they could find it.

A 2.75-inch-diameter hailstone that fell in Denver County on Thursday night is preliminarily the largest on record for the county since 1950. Other larger hailstones have fallen in the metro area. The 5.25-inch-diameter stone that set the state record in 2023 fell 130 miles east of the Mile High City in Kirk, Colorado.

Hope Cybertruck does a lot better than Model 3

Inside my Tesla Model 3 during a massive hail storm
On August 01, 2022, I was driving northbound on the Queen Elizabeth II highway South of Red Deer, Alberta, Canada when a massive hailstorm caught me in the ope without any shelter from the storm. In all, over 70 vehicles had their windows smashed out and incurred massive body damage from the storm that lasted about ten minutes. The glass in my Tesla Model 3 was beaten by the massive hail, some as big as tennis balls and grapefruits, but still managed to hold itself in place which protected me from the falling ice.
This video was shot after the bulk of the storm had already passed.

It’s 105 in Cali right now… not sure if I wish there was hail

These are dents in the tonneau cover from golf ball sized hail. The way the hail was dropping it hit the tonneau dead on at 90 degrees perpendicular to the surface. No other damage to the steel, glass or plastic.

That’s impressive!

It's one reason I ordered a CT---no worry of door dings either. Hail up to golf ball size should be OK. Baseball size or larger?? At least glass can be replaced more easily the removing dents.
