Watch the Tesla Cybertruck's supposedly unbreakable 'armor glass' windows break after a metal ball was thrown at them during a demonstration

When the truck initially drove onto the stage, many in the crowd clearly couldn't believe that this was actually the vehicle they'd come to see. The Cybertruck looks like a large metal trapezoid on wheels, more like an art piece than a truck.The Tesla Cybertruck's bed has a roll-down cover and a built-in ramp in the tailgate.Instead of a distinctly separate cab and bed, the body appears to be a single form.

He flipped down the truck's tailgate, extended a built in ramp, and rode it up into the bed.950 miles in two days. Taking an electric road trip in a Tesla 'A niche product at best'Tesla's new electric truck won't be without some stiff competition. It's going up against the two market leaders in full-size trucks in America.

So did not see it fake the hit from the hammer 🔨?

Mira eso papa WascarRobles

Bombshell, its Trumps fault!

I am guessing you are paid lots of advertising money by the other automakers and fossil fuel companies since you have shared this story a few times per day every day since the announcement...

elonmusk ship one to me, i’ll test for winter and hilly roads. I have a hummer h2, which is perfect for tough terrain. But is yours ready? Adress eastern Greenland. Not sure I can charge it here though

looks homemade

Dystopian. No thanks; just looking at it makes me sad.

It is butt ugly!

Well this is awkward...

Free publicity 🎯

Who gives a sh!t about the dumb stunt? That 'truck' is aesthetically hideous.

Nominee for The best PR stunt of the year.

This is the problem with businesses today. Big promises, no results. I guess Musk never heard of quality control testing. But, his company will brag about the thousands of these cars who have been sold to corporations and millionaires. Sure, profit is the bottom-line.

Back to the drawing board

Amazing technology, the rest need catch up.

The whole unveiling of the event looks bad! Lots and lots of awkwardness in it! The confused 'fans' screaming sounds like they are uncertain about what they should do or not

Who would even want to be seen driving this hideous thing in the first place?

Gawd this thing is hideous. Just... fucking terrible.

Why are people defending Musk over the broken windows? He obviously doesn’t understand his own product.

Nothing about off-road capability? It’s not a work truck, so it had better be able to go off road.

Remember those windows when you feel comfortable thinking the truck body will stop a 9mm bullet. Even bullet proof glass only works under certain conditions.

Is this whole thing a joke? It is so ugly.

I like it , just to big for our roads , but think we will need one off these soon when driving through Birmingham .

Not a good one

The designer of this truck should say something like this: “ this is the most beautiful truck in history,ok. The windows are the most unbreakable windows in history,ok. There is no evidence of broken window, ok. Don’t believe the fake news,ok.”😂🤣😅

Maybe it was a part of the show 🤷🏼‍♂️

Kinda like the Titanic huh..🙁

😂

This whole ‘Cybertruck’ thing is a scam or sad ‘joke’ by Musk. Just wait and see...

Come le mura di Gerico

clichetweet lol

I seriously doubt if it can reach 60mph in 2.9 seconds.

Guys relax!! It's pre production. Tesla ALWAYS delivers on it's promises... This will be no different

Everything will eventually 'come and pass'

Fugly.

The final for sale model (minus the hide-the-body panels) might actually look cool. But wtf neighborhood are YOU driving through that you need a 70 grand zombie apocalypse bulletproof truck that can withstand metal balls? I hear the cupholders are nice.

I actually want to be able to break the glass in my car if I need to get out.

loser telsatruck

Trump said the glass didn’t break

30 mins presentation and this is what you take out of it. Thanks

Well, may be that was a little too hard 😂

He should have brought someone on to shoot at it Maybe save face a bit

Here we go defending the establishment of fossil fuel companies. We can see through you, so just stop it.

Someone tell Elon the Botox and makeup isn't on point.

Wwerewwwqwttyt

How someone could aprove this proyect

brill

When I saw photo of the truck, I actually started laughing. Thanks Elon, you made my day

Old news.

Look horrible, and since CNN is reporting it , most likely it's all fake.

Sad that the only thing you saw from that presentation were the broken windows. How short-sighted

I wanna see this

The glass manufacturers just lost their contract

If it doesn’t float on water or have the capability of maneuvering through or on water or snow it will be rendered useless and will just become a sinking coffin as the ocean waters rise . Tesla telsatruck ClimateChange ClimateAction

Interior pics?

That seems a white man’s whim. Disgusting.

Guess it needs more taxpayer dollars before it's perfected. It's funny if most billionaires made a quarter of their fortune from government subsides you'd lose your shit but you treat him like a god

They put the glass inside out. You’re welcome elonmusk 🙄

elonmusk is a trendsetter. Like the first tesla’s, people were skeptical but then right now, they’re the coolest cars on the road. This truck will grow on people and eventually become the coolest trucks on the road once it’s out.

Somebody said this car has not finished rendering yet so maybe it was just too early to throw things at it

The metal ball would’ve gone through the glass if the guy didn’t throw like Obama.

Still impressed. Throw that same metal ball at any window of a vehicle on the road today and it’s going through it

But it didn't go thru the window. That's the most important part.

Elon Musk is sending that guy up in the next rocket

We still love it.

And he's going to send passengers in a rocket to outer space.

It’s fckn ugly!

It's a joke, right?

I hate the design, but the more I look at it, the more I want it

Piece of expensive junk.

Not cool. Not beautiful. Good for military use

Enemy of the people

It looks like s prototype for a movie, that truck is so plain, it doesn't sat anything, aluminum body with candy glass, it doesn't even look nice. elonmusk , another one for your junk collection.

The Police State Force will be using these vehicles in the future.

Yeah epic fail kind of like the Russian collusion FakeNewsCNN was pushing 😂😂

It didn't break. But they originally hired the aliens to break the story, and one of them got abeiroxsizated

Kaboom?☄

Are you selling this car, is this click bait or what the truck?

My question is why do we need a truck with no bed for a fifth wheel and bullet proof windows

So are we SURE the glass breaking wasn’t an accident?

I mean the ball DIDN’T go through.

Oooo! I like it

Nothing is unbreakable

Just call it UGLY and move on. Sure it can accerate quickly but is a real TRUCK supposed to be fast? NO. For those that want a “hardbody” style truck body here you go ..sixty thousand dollars. Here you go.

I need to see more ads like this😅

What metal precisely? Was it lead ball? Copper? Or hardened steel, or even tungsten? And it didn't actually penetrate the glass, so it actually did what it was supposed to do..

Besides, it's really, really ... incredibly ... ugly. Aerodynamic though, for sure.

It would be hard to come up with an uglier design.

The amazing part about Tesla’s failed window test is they should have tested different window materials by throwing a metal ball at each one BEFORE selecting the final window material to be used in the truck. Ridiculous they found this out at the product unveiling event!

Hiyaaa

My God that’s ugly.

7News Who the hell cares fake news people . Why aren’t you attacking Trump? Is that all you have?

Perfect. A buy opp.

my plans... 1. buy a tesla cybrtrk 2. laugh at everyone else during the apocalypse 3. cybrtrk runs outta juice during the apocalypse 4. recharge by solar energy during the apocalypse 5. repeat 2-4 until whenever during the apocalypse

Musk presented much more than armored glass.

CNN Why are hating?

The glass just had performance anxiety. Stop laughing

Well, first responders would be alright with this...

A story that is on CNN that is the truth Whoa I'm glad I was sitting down.

I'm sure Musk isn't going to rage about this at all.

Ugly is an understatement

Anyone else think of this episode?

Didn’t these people test the windows first? How embarrassing 😂

This is hilarious

Woww :D

The big question is, why is it so ugly 🤔

The car lacks a sleek design. It’s very boxy. Unattractive.

Do we really want the general public driving around in what appears to be a tank?

I didn't care. It was awesome to watch the whole video and I want one!

Guess it's easier to land a rocket on a floating platform.

😂

Start unloading that stock.

They will sell about 5 of these. Wtf. That’s not what the public wants for a pickup. Looks like a 4 year old designed it.

That is a hideous looking vehicle.

Reminds me of the truck in “Damnation Alley.”

I’ll pass

Elon is a dope. Tesla brand is ruined. Share price will collapse Way worse than Edsel.. Fords joke car.

Sorry, I would NEVER get into a vehicle that if I could not break the windows out of it! Especially, an electric one. I live in an area where flash flooding is common. If I need to break a window, I need it to BREAK. The average person has no need for armored windows.

I’m gonna be bettn’ every body in the illegal drug trade world want this really bad they can afford it now that marijuana markets are now legal...this is the worst concept car to be made at the worst time

It’s all FUBAR

Ooouuups!

Oh my God well,my be i was little to hard ............🤣🤣🤣 they didn't test the vehicle before putting it on the stage !!!!!

It’s still a smooth rides!

This is the cheapest crap I ever seen in my life, optimised only on production costs. So what now be positive, happy don't worry, he'll do that is enough stupid guys buy it, this is how also politics work. Dems reps, all fake crap. Selling shit, by the way. It goes for long time.

Ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Obviously another dud. No thanks, and absolutely don’t want a seat on your Mars pie in the sky ship!

Bruh this raw asf

'Source: Tesla' doesn't mean shit, until they give it to someone to test out their claims.

I bet we will see this in 2025 lol!

It is also ugly as fook

Men it feels like 1985!📼💾💿

Liberals are the funniest kind of hypocrites

LOL...I smell a publicity stunt...look at all the free advertising.

Looks like the car that you paint in art class in primary school... It's weird 🤨

Se é no Brasil.....

Tesla's new pickup is ugly, sell

EpicFail

Hey if you squint a bit and then close your eyes it looks a bit like a DeLorean!!!! No...it still doesn't.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful but I remember drawing better looking cars when I was around 6 or 7 no joke.

super car really

With all those extra features, ie , the door can withstand a 9 mm bullet but the window shatters against metal balls , seems like a we'll orchestrated fail marketing gimmick. Ain't we talking now ...

RealBiggerstaff

Geez, thats the ugliest thing I’ve seen with wheels.

Yeah but sonar can't detect it so..🤷‍♂️

It is so ugly!

Warranty must have expired.

Why is there motor sounds from a combustible engine in the background? What is the carbon footprint for ion batteries? The cobalt mined for batteries is done by kids in dangerous conditions in South Africa! What do we do with batteries after their life cycle?

Just a demo to the new tesla moon car
