Elon Musk Unveils Tesla's 'Bulletproof' Cybertruck - And It All Goes Terribly Wrong
Tesla finally revealed its outrageous Blade Runner-style pickup truck, the "Cybertruck", at an event in LA on Thursday evening.
But an on-stage demonstration by Tesla CEO Elon Musk seemingly backfired, The Guardian reports: Tesla's chief designer Franz von Holzhausen lobed a hefty metal ball at the window — and smashed it.
Tesla showed off its newest all-electric vehicle, Cybertruck, during an event in Los Angeles, but its unveiling on Thursday night didn't appear to go as planned. After the Tesla pickup truck was rolled out, the company's chief designer threw a metal ball to prove how tough it was –– except the demo failed spectacularly.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk told an audience the truck is "literally bulletproof" against small types of firearms. The truck's body withstood multiple strikes from a sledgehammer and the crowd cheered on. Musk then summoned design lead Franz Von Holzhausen to try and smash the Cybertruck's "armor glass."
Video shows Von Holzhausen throwing a metal ball and appearing to look shocked when the driver's seat window was completely shattered."Oh my f----ing god," Musk said. "Well...maybe that was a little too hard. It didn't go through."
