Tesla chief designer Franz von Holzhausen recently discussed an infamous incident from 2019 when the Cybertruck’s window shattered during its launch. Standing next to CEO Elon Musk, von Holzhausen threw a metal ball at the vehicle’s window to showcase its durability and strength. However, the vehicle’s window cracked, creating an awkward situation then. In a recent interview with Tesla Club Austria, Franz von Holzhausen called the incident a “Murphy’s law” moment, where anything that can go wrong. He said he has done test run on the armoured glass window “multiple times right before we went live on the stage”.
“I think it was just one of those Murphy’s law kind of things where something bad happens. But it turned out to be a great meme,” von Holzhausen said.
