Tesla windows are laminated so you are shit out of luck trying to break them that way.
Musk really wants them to die huh?
Can't leave a negative review if you're dead
Many modern car side windows are laminated. This is not a Tesla thing
Which is whataboutism and not what we were talking about. You cannot get out using a window breaker in a tesla, doesn't matter that other manufacturers are idiots too.
There’s no whataboutism to saying it’s not entirely their choice. It’s unclear to me whether it’s a new regulatory requirement or a new requirement where that is the likely choice. But either way it’s an industry issue, not a specific manufacturer issue
It's neither. Laminated glass is used for "luxury" because it makes the inside quieter at the cost of you burning to death because you couldn't break the side window anymore.
It's also so glass doesn't shatter on your passengers if a rock comes at it while you are driving. There's pros and cons. It's not unbreakable either (definitely tougher), they did break it to get this young lady out after all. It's not my favourite feature. My other non-tesla car has it too though. As did the car the Tesla replaced.
