Not sure what you're worried about; all you need to break in is a lightly thrown metal ball.

I’m hoping for Jeremy clarkson to take a whack at “killing a Tesla” a la the infamous hilux that wouldn’t die:

  • Considering the first part of that challenge is that they submerge the hilux in the sea, I can't see the tesla holding up too well. Would love to see it though!

    • I wouldn't be so sure.

      While you obviously don't want to test it, there are videos of Model 3's and Model S's being driven through water over the windshield and were fine. IIRC there's a video somewhere of one of the Tesla models actually floating when the water got too deep.

    • I want to see the cybertruck vs wrecking ball and caravan... that would be pretty epic.

I'm not sure the lightly thrown ball can break the polymer layer. Just because the glass layer shatters it doesn't mean you can go trough it.

Hope they don't use something like this 3M polymer layer, because it means you will be trapped for 2 more minutes even if you have the tools to go trough the polymer.

Ok, how/where do I acquire one of these in <insert entropic stereotypicality here> disaster situation?
