Everything that happened when Elon Musk unveiled the Cybertruck, including the window-breaking mistake that made him say 'Oh my f---ing god'
Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled Tesla's first passenger pickup truck, the Cybertruck, on Thursday night in a dramatic showing that included flames, a "cybergirl," and a failed test.
The jam-packed unveiling included the traditional presentation of the truck's specifications but in a glamorized and semifailed manner. To prove the strength of its "ultra-hard" stainless steel body, Musk asked Tesla's lead designer, Franz von Holzhausen, to take a sledgehammer to the side of the truck.
And to show off the strength of the "armored glass," a metal ball was dropped onto an isolated panel at an elevated height without a shatter or a break. However, when the metal ball was thrown at the window of the example Cybertruck, the glass broke.
Despite this, the Cybertruck was unveiled to many crowd cheers and photos, and with specs that surpassed those of its competitors, such as Bollinger Motors' fully electric all-wheel-drive B2 Pickup Truck. Production is expected to begin in 2021.
