The Tesla co-founder unveiled the all-electric battery-powered Tesla Cybertruck in California, daring staff to hit the vehicle with sledgehammers and showing a video of it withstanding bullets shot from a 9mm gun.
But the demonstration of the vehicle's indestructible windows did not appear to go entirely to plan after one assistant threw a steel ball bearing at the truck - only to see the armoured glass smash.A second attempt fared little better however, and another window was left badly damaged. "It didn't go through," said the clearly uncomfortable Mr Musk, who was forced to push on through the remainder of the chaotic launch with the two smashed windows in full view.
The industrial-looking Cybertruck - covered in the same steel alloy Musk plans to use for his SpaceX rocket - will have a starting price of $39,900 and can go from 0 to 100km/h in about three seconds, the Tesla chief executive claimed. No date has been given for its release but analysts said it would not be ready before the end of 2021 at the earliest.

They are more than likely bullet proof, bullet proof windows go like that after impact.
The vehicle looks a joke it looks like a prop from a 1970's tv si-fi series. This is just a publicity stunt.
