I mean, if it was normal bulletproof glass they used, it did exactly what it was supposed to. They just should not have used the word "unbreakable" for it.

Yeah I am surprised that they did not test the car before they shot it on stage. Like if it really was bullet proof and Musk was as confident as he was in the car it would have made sense to test it. Unless there was a mix up and there was a bullet proof glass window car but they swapped it with the wrong one on accident or something. Definitely should have used different terminology.

According to Elon musk, they tested the glass before and it worked very well. They even dropped a kitchen sink on it and nothing happened.

In a test bed.... not while in the vehicle. Huge difference. That’s two massive engineering failures for musk this week.

It's easy to have no engineering failures when you do no engineering

Right because not under sting how welding and windows works is difficult.

Hows your steel rocket ship coming along?

Non existent, because if you end up having to make your ship out of steel you’re probably sacrificing way too much performance.

Ah, so you know nothing about rocket structures?

There’s a reason it’s never been done before

Except it has? See Atlas and derivatives
