That wasn't tempered safety glass.
If it was, it would have broken into small pieces
Think it had an inner layer of plastic, like the windshield
Ask if anyone knows if DOT allows plastic laminate side glass.
Otherwise, emergency folks won't be able to break the glass to rescue folks
Plus, will the jaws of life be able to QUICKLY get people out of a burning cybertruck ?
PS...IMHO...exoskeleton is just another word for monocoque...or unibody
Laminated side safety glass is common nowadays. We use a fancy handsaw to cut it, and it cuts pretty fast.
Any time we have to use hydraulic extrication tools to extricate someone, it doesn't go real fast, despite what is shown on TV. The best way to save a person trapped in a burning car is to put the fire out, which on an EV is a huge challenge. I'm sure there will be some differences in how this vehicle needs to be addressed for vehicle extrication. I'd love for Tesla to drop one off to practice on!
