Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled his hyped Cybertruck Thursday night, and things didn’t go exactly to plan.
The radical design drew an array of reactions from users on social media. Some people loved the futuristic design while others hated it. Many just thought it was too over the top. Whatever the case, people won’t have a lukewarm reaction to Tesla’s design.
Along with insane unusual look, the presentation didn’t go perfectly. When Musk wanted to show off how tough the vehicle was, he had a presenter hit it with a sledgehammer. That went fine, but when he asked him to throw a metal ball at the window, it unsurprisingly it shattered. He did it again with the same result. Apparently, the models armored windows couldn’t withstand that.
Whoops. Tesla tried to show that the #Cybertruck's windows were shatterproof, but this happened. “We’ll fix it in post,” Elon Musk joked. https://t.co/nFF6ceZojA pic.twitter.com/As9RHXctlT
