Nov. 22, 2019—Elon Musk unveiled his company's new Tesla cybertruck, which with an angular body and resembles an armored vehicle, according to Reuters.

To show off the robust design of the new pickup, Musk enlisted his head of design, Franz von Holzhausen, to take a sledgehammer to the side of the vehicle, whose exterior will be made from the same stainless steel used in the Starship rocket developed by Musk’s SpaceX aerospace company.

The windows, however, cracked like spiderwebs. Musk said there was room for improvement on the windows.
