If they were honest and smart about the glass, they would’ve only ever went with something like a baseball or anything soft-ish and really beamed it in to the window. They might be able to take bullet levels of force, but not from a chromed ball. A chromed ball will focus force WAY better than lead ever would, though if a baseball would’ve broken the window, a damn .22 would…

Admittedly car windows are just strong as fuck from the outside due to their curve and construction, and they did throw the metal ball hard at the glass before when practicing for the announcement event and it bounced right off.

Come to think of it, how much do Cybertruck windows curve?

Depends on your pov. Not curved much compared to a window from any other car. But it is curved just as much as any other piece of flat glass you may want to compare it to.

If they were smart about it, they would have tried it out once before doing it in public to see if it worked.
