It is worth repeating that Tesla infamously marketed their Cybertruck as a $100K survival vehicle to withstand the harshest challenges.
“Armor glass can resist the impact of a baseball at 70 mph or class 4 hail.”
Class 4 hail? Not actually a thing. I’ll get to that in a minute.
Armor glass? Uh huh, a basic lamination that doesn’t mean much. Just like “full self driving” can’t drive, the Tesla armor glass… isn’t.
Elon Musk said his armor glass that he falsely promoted as “shatterproof” would have a bulletproof option too.
Elon Musk has long claimed the Cybertruck will be bulletproof, saying he wants the futuristic pickup to be “really tough — not fake tough.” […] Thanks to a patent filed by the company in 2021, we know how that “armor glass” works, with several different sheets of glass layered together for strength and flexibility. This “armor glass” won’t be able to stop a bullet — but Musk’s said that Tesla will offer the option to buy a “beast mode” Cybertruck with properly bulletproof windows.
Instead it has delivered a practically worthless dud, which fails tests at every level. Don’t bet your life on this circus clown.
Owners are basically victims of fraud, allegedly still surprised when they realize the lie.
The burglar immediately puts his glass-breaking tool over the windows and shatters the driver’s side glass. Analyzing the footage, the cop can be heard saying, “It’s a tool the thief pushes in the side; look at the top; he pops it…there you go.”
Here, the assailant can be seen grabbing hold of the shattered glass from the top and peeling down the glass to leave the window completely open.
After pulling down the windows, the burglar climbs into the Cybertruck.
This comes after a basic hail storm cracked a Cybertruck windshield even as other cars weren’t affected.
CT windshield did not withstand a freak sudden hailstorm in Austin, rest of vehicle seems fine. None of the other cars parked next to it had windshield damage…
Fake tough. The first sign of fraud was Elon Musk incorrectly using a roofing shingle reference for glass on a vehicle.
Hailstones aren’t classified by their size or weight. Class 4 hail refers to the UL2218 Impact Rating test conducted by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a not-for-profit organization that independently tests and certifies roofing products. […] In order for a roofing product to achieve a Class 4 rating, it cannot show any signs of penetration or fracture after a 2-inch steel ball is dropped twice on the same spot from a distance of 20 feet.
Class 4 rating for roofing products. Not a class of hail. Presumably someone in Elon Musk’s circle mentioned their solar panel roofing business (also fraud) had materials measured relative to Class 4 and he used these same words elsewhere without understanding any of them.
Remember this Elon Musk giant scam about his roof shingle business?
- Nov 2016: “Musk Says Tesla’s Solar Shingles Will Cost Less Than a Dumb Roof. ‘Electricity is just a bonus.'”
- May 2017: Elon Musk bets homeowners will pay a premium for resilient panels that look like an ordinary roof.
They’ll cost less! You’ll pay a premium! Up is down. Down is up. They’ll be dumb. They’ll be ordinary. They’ll be so amazingly resilient… whatever, whenever, all lies all the time in constant contradictions.
In reality a 2-inch steel ball is supposed to be dropped twice. On the same spot. From 20 feet. It’s science, meant for roofing material comparisons yo!
And now this. A 2-inch steel ball thrown like a PT Barnum show…
Surprised and shocked to read this article.
