Steel Ball Thrown at Cybertruck Window (Glass Strength Test)

Here is a test of the Cybertruck Foundation Series windows with a steel ball.

Looks solid! I like to imagine this was a rental you volunteered to test

The baseball sounded like it was one of those soft kid’s baseballs but the second steel ball through seemed like a legit hard throw. Ballsy test, I wonder how available replacements are at this point had it cracked. Fun watch

And this boys and girls is why you do not put your cybertruck on turo.

For the amount of followers he has online, he can afford to break stuff.

100 rentals a year and 20 of those rentals want to do the steel ball test, what could go wrong

THIS IS FRICKING AMAZING

CRITICAL THINKING ALSO AMAZING

Basically any OEM window behaves the same wa



Things the sort of Tesla fanboi marketing that makes people look like they don’t know anything about cars while simultaneously going to the mat that [insert here] is uniquely amazing about Tesla/Cybertruck

in other words, does more harm to Tesla/Cybertruck than good, because is makes it seem that the only people who think the Cybertruck is an impressive product are dupes

nevermind me, I’m sure it’s already trending on $TSLA xwitter

Hope the smash and grab your stuff out of the back that used to be common on the 3 becomes a thing of the past.

Nice man, make a video chucking a ball bearing at your Lightning. Prove all those tzla goobers wrong. You can do it

Use a spark plug ceramic casing.

If it can survive that then it is truly better glass.

Theives don't use steel balls or hammers.

The steel ball already proves its truly better glass than the glass installed in legacy trucks, because there is no way the glass in legacy trucks could have handled that steelie without breaking. We just need to quantify how much better it is with further side-by-side- video tests.

A series of video tests between the glass of other trucks and Cybertruck could kick-off a successful Youtube channel, if done correctly. A tube with a spring plunger and built in inclinmeter that could be "cocked" to different power/speed levels would help make it more repeatable and comparable between vehicles.

Thanks for the linked video. I didn't know how tough the normal OEM glass was. But I found this clip... which is a bit hard to believe...

Just for the record, I ain't never doing the steel ball test on my Cybertruck. Anyone found trying it in my driveway at night, will be found there in the morning.
