Comment on YSK: it's not just Tesla, 1/3 of cars in built in the last ten years have passenger/rear windows that are almost impossible to break in an emergency.

  Because they have special ceramic tools. Windows will always be incredibly easy for thieves to break with no effort, but they’re incredibly hard for people without specialized burglary tools to break.

    Specialized tools oversells it. A chipped sparkplug will work.

      Yeah, they’re nothing fancy, but that’s sole purpose. People aren’t carrying around spark plugs unless they’re car thieves.

    I’d just like to point out that the same is true of your house. Your average deadbolt and doorknob can be defeated by a cordless drill in less than 30 seconds and with very little noise. Don’t ask me how I know :D

    I’ve seen videos of them shattering when a coffee mug or spark plug hits them. Sometimes it takes a couple tries.

      Ninja rocks, smash up a spark plug and the ceramic will annihilate car windows
