Cybertruck's 'unbreakable glass window' cracked during live demo and that was awkward

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Thursday unveiled the company's first electric pickup truck called Cybertruck at a live event in Los Angeles, California. But in what could be an awkward moment for Musk, Cybertruck's 'unbreakable glass windows' cracked during his live, on-stage demo. Here's what happened:

Musk unveiled the Cybertruck in his usual punk-show style, showing off the truck’s stainless steel body and super-strong "armour glass” windows. In fact, even a sledgehammer did not make a dent in the car’s doors.

But the event went slightly wrong while testing the window’s strength. Metal balls hurled at the car cracked two windows — though the glass did not completely shatter into pieces.

"Well, maybe that was a little too hard,” Musk joked of the throw. Watch the video below:

Meanwhile, this is how Twitterati reacted:
