Tesla Cybertruck’s unbreakable glass breaks during launch, Twitter reacts

Tesla Cybertruck, a new electric pick-up from the company, is the latest topic of Twitter chatter. Tesla co-founder, Elon Musk, unveiled the vehicle in California on Thursday. It’s what happened during the truck’s launch which has now piqued people’s interests.

Turns out, the launch was unfolding smoothly until the car’s supposedly indestructible windows broke. And, the incident has sparked all sorts of reactions among tweeple.

Musk, during the event, dared his staff to hit the vehicle with sledgehammers and the truck sustained the blows. The demonstration, however, went wrong after his assistant threw a steel ball at one of the windows - supposedly made of shatterproof glass. Upon impact, the glass smashed. They took a second attempt and it gave a similar result – though not smashed, the glass got badly damaged.

The event was shown on YouTube but after the mishap, the post’s setting was changed to private. However, some tweeple shared the video of the glass getting smashed on the micro-blogging site. Here’s one such post:
