Tesla has promoted the Cybertruck’s glass as “shatter-resistant,” showing the windows withstanding a baseball thrown at 70 miles an hour and multiple metal pieces falling from above. However, for one Cybertruck owner, a microfiber cloth has thwarted his Cybertruck glass. Addam is a Pennsylvania resident and a Tesla fan who owns both a Tesla Model Y and a Cybertruck. On the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, Adam recently shared the unexpected failure of his Cybertruck windshield. He writes, “While cleaning the windshield with a brand new freshly washed microfiber cloth, the windshield spidered and shattered. Anyone else experience a weak windshield? This should be covered under a warranty or a recall. Not happy at all.” Below his post, Addam shared a picture of his Cybertruck windshield with the glass cracked in several pieces. Naturally, people wanted to know if the windshield had experienced any prior damage, such as a rock chip, that resulted in this failure. They also wanted to know if he had leaned on his Cybertruck windshield too heavily while cleaning to the point of cracking it. In response, Addam says he was cleaning the windshield from the inside when it cracked into pieces. Not only are there no rock chips on the glass, but you can not even feel the cracked surface from the outside. As to whether he put too much pressure on the glass, Addam says, “I was cleaning it from the inside. Just normal pressure for drying the glass. I don’t think I’m that strong.” Other things forum members wanted to know included whether he had tinted his Cybertruck windshield. At this point, you might be wondering why that would matter. However, that’s in response to a string of tinted Cybertruck glasses that appear to crack into pieces when left in the sun. A couple of weeks ago, one Cybertruck owner shared that he left his tinted Cybertruck out in the sun for three weeks as he traveled for business. When he returned, he found his glass roof shattered into pieces without apparent rock chips or accidents. In this regard, Addam says he did not tint his Cybertruck windshield. This would lead one to conclude that the Cybertruck windshield was likely defective from the start; however, one forum member appears to believe the fact that the Cybertruck’s windshield cracked is a fit of strength rather than weakness. Crissa, a Santa Cruz, California resident, writes in response to Addam’s original post, “This isn't 'weak'. It spreads across it because it's so strong it's breaking itself. The glass is made under pressure. It has multiple layers, and a microscopic flaw will make it fail later.” Addam, on the other hand, appears to disagree with Crissa’s point, giving an alternative explanation to the theory that the glass is too strong and shattered itself. Addam writes, “The windshield has been hazy since day one. Very hard to keep clean. In sunlight, it had almost a crystal-like finish. Wondering if this was a sign of improper tempering.” Naturally, since this is a forum for Cybertruck owners, the group members were afraid the same fate might befall their truck and asked whether Addam’s Cybertruck is an early VIN and whether Tesla has fixed the issue with later models. Unfortunately, Addam says, “I placed my order on August 5 and took delivery on August 13. So I don’t believe it’s an early VIN.” Overall, it’s disappointing to see the Cybertruck’s glass, touted as transparent metal, falling victim to a microfiber cloth.
