The Cybertruck is made of a heavy-duty exterior shell made from "ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel" and armored glass, according to Tesla. The demonstration of the Tesla Cybertruck's unbreakable windows did not go well as planned after one assistant throws a steel ball bearing at the truck, only to see the armored glass shatter. CEO Elon Musk  unveiled the $39,900 truck in Los Angeles on Thursday , and he got Tesla's lead designer, Franz von Holzhausen, to test the left-side windows by throwing a silver metal ball at them. After von Holzhausen smashed the front-left window with ease, Musk uttered: "Oh my f---ng God. Well, maybe that was a little too hard." Von Halzhausen then tested the back-left window, which also smashed. "Room for improvement," Musk joked. "We threw wrenches, we threw literally the kitchen sink at the glass and it didn't break. For some reason it broke now … I don't know why."
