Tesla on Friday unveiled their "Cybertruck" pickup truck at an event in Los Angeles and met with an embarrassing moment during the presentation ceremony. The truck's windows were smashed during a demonstration which was supposed to highlight how hard the glasses were. According to a Tech Crunch report, the incident happened when Elon Musk asked an on-stage companion to demonstrate the strength of the Tesla “Armor Glass” by throwing a solid metal, baseball-sized ball at the driver side window.
The stunt backfired and the window cracked. Musk then asked the person to test the window on the passenger side - and again the window broke. Musk was heard saying "Room for improvement". Price of the vehicle will start at $39,900. Tesla Model S Explodes in China: Electric Car Burst Into Flames in Parking Lot; Investigation Underway (Watch Viral Video).
