@@afrolintin ok I'll agree that every 2000s car is ugly as Frick, I got my first car a few months ago it's a 73 vw beetle there's no other car I would've picked cause everything is so ugly Nowadays I do like the 1960s Ferraris to
@@hermesmcclintok Good enough throw to smash any other car/truck window. Bit harder would most likely have broken but still proves is strong enough for everyday use.
They were stress testing days prior and backstage with success. It developed micro cracks by the time it was brought on stage. The team also built the CT proto in 90 days, so it was a rush job.
Think the original test steel ball they used was huge like size of a tennis ball it probably weighed ~1.2kg. Since then they changed the type of glass as well - good to see the production version is able to take such a high impact without breaking.
@@Jason_The_StoogeJust did some research, he was born in Ukraine and moved to Cali when he was a kid but takes trips to Ukraine a fair bit and has done some videos in Ukraine which is why I thought he lived there :)
Baseball throw was like that of a little kid, let someone throw who can put some speed on that ball. Same goes to the Steelball it isn’t as big as in the Smash from Tesla
What scientific reason stopped him? They tried it with a lighter base ball . And were afraid 😱 for some reason they cannot explain (superstition. My their the world is a complex place.
Okay, I'm impressed you put your money where your mouth is. I'm also impressed by the window ! Don't expect to see other car makers (or buyers) copy this one !
@@enriksouls6636 LMAO. Does ceramic coated windows get higher resistance to thrown metal balls ? In that case - sign me TF up ! Or even better, why don't you show me you throwing a metal ball on your ceramic coated windows...
I don't think it was a micro-crack from all the throw tests in 2019; both panels broke. I think instead the sledge hammer (which was the first hit) knocked the windows both down a few mm causing the top part of the window to not be seated properly which allowed the entire glass pane to fail. You could see in the vertical drop test them cranking down on the horizontal test glass to verify it was seated correctly before the ball drop.
Holy crap I haven't seen one of your videos in years. I thought you stopped making stuff in like 2018. I'm glad youtube slipped up and forgot to remove your content from my feed so I can watch your videos again
No, what happened was they were hitting it with a sledge hammer both before the show and during the show…that weakened the braces for the window leading to it not being able to absorb the force as efficiently and cracking
