How could anyone know Elon was lying? His cyber truck windows were unbreakable!!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 26 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

So....unbreakable windows are actually illegal. They need to be breakable for EMT rescues or emergency escape.

Apparently no one at Tesla had the balls to tell this to Musk but the engineers went ahead and fit proper windows. It's actually quite surprising to hear how little Musk knows about anything.

So apparently while not unbreakable, these windows are still a bitch and a half to get through, verging on impossible.

This does not help when the doors also barely open under high stress conditions (like fire, being submerged etc). So you're just kind of trapped in this death box.

Tesla got lucky though, this is a feature on all of their vehicles which reduced costs for them dramatically. Hardly any other car manufacturer has this many 'and then they burned or drowned alive because the doors didn't open' stories about it.

You have a source for that? I've looked pretty extensively though the Florida statutes and I didn't see anything like that. Also armored cars exist.

It isn't a state statute. Vehicles marketed for sale in the US have to comply with NHTSA regulations, windows are a whole section.

There are rumours of people at his companies to keep Musk occupied and away from the real work.
