Armored Glass Repels Tesla Cybertruck Smash-And-Seize Try

One of the crucial well-known occasions within the Tesla Cybertruck’s historical past is the glass-breaking incident at its unveiling again in 2019 when Elon Musk supposed to show how robust the armored aspect home windows have been however ended up proving the alternative. Musk stated on the time that he blamed it on the order through which the toughness checks have been carried out on stage, and prompt that the glass broke as a result of the door had beforehand been hit with a sledgehammer.

Nevertheless, it appears just like the manufacturing Tesla Cybertruck’s home windows are greater than able to withstanding a break-in try, as a latest incident from California appears to point out. Within the footage from the truck’s exterior cameras shared by Arash Malek on X, a would-be burglar may be seen making an attempt to interrupt its aspect home windows and sunroof with what is called a ninja rock, and finally failing.

Ninja rocks are often improvised instruments created by automobile thieves who use sharp ceramics or items of crushed spark plug alumina insulator. These instruments often haven’t any hassle immediately shattering tempered automotive glass, and thieves don’t even want to make use of an excessive amount of drive to make it occur (you simply faucet the glass with one in all these instruments and it immediately shatters), so that is their weapon of alternative.

The footage captured by the Tesla’s cameras reveals that the man who tried to interrupt in is skilled. He tries to interrupt the aspect home windows and is stunned that nothing occurs; he grabs his telephone flashlight to take a greater take a look at what occurred and appears a bit perplexed. He then avoids the windscreen (which is product of sheets of laminated glass so it’s impervious to ninja rocks) and tries his luck on the glass roof, which, identical to the aspect home windows, solely cracks however doesn’t break.

So between its very robust stainless-steel physique panels and difficult glazing, it appears there may be some fact to Elon Musk’s claims that the Cybertruck is the very best car you would be in when the Apocalypse comes, a minimum of if the zombies aren’t carrying something with extra penetrating energy than a ninja rock.
