  It was a steel ball. They recreated the event with the same guy but this time with a baseball and the dude gave it the most obvious limp wristed toss, it was incredibly cringe I highly recommend you seek that clip out because it’s absolutely hilarious.

      Lol, Franz is a wimp.

      “So anyway, the glass is tough, basically”. Is this how they test their rockets, too?

        Tbf the rockets seem to work. Not easy to fake that.

      I wanna see large gravel chunks at 80mph not a baseball at 25.

      My 1995 truck could handle that throw, but sure, we’ll call it “innovation”

    If they were honest and smart about the glass, they would’ve only ever went with something like a baseball or anything soft-ish and really beamed it in to the window. They might be able to take bullet levels of force, but not from a chromed ball. A chromed ball will focus force WAY better than lead ever would, though if a baseball would’ve broken the window, a damn .22 would…

      Admittedly car windows are just strong as fuck from the outside due to their curve and construction, and they did throw the metal ball hard at the glass before when practicing for the announcement event and it bounced right off.

        Come to think of it, how much do Cybertruck windows curve?

      If they were smart about it, they would have tried it out once before doing it in public to see if it worked.

    Was it a baseball? It bounced quite a bit and looked a lot like a light rubber ball

      That was exactly my thought when I saw it. Baseballs don’t bounce like that normally.
