Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveils the Cybertruck at the TeslaDesign Studio in Hawthorne, Calif. The cracked window glass occurred during a demonstration on the strength of the glass.

Elon Musk on Saturday said that Tesla has received 146,000 Cybertruck orders so far.

Tesla unveiled the new futuristic pickup truck at a promotional event in Los Angeles last Thursday. The vehicle represents a big metallic trapezoid and will start at $39,900.

When Musk tried to showcase the truck’s durability by having Tesla’s chief designer chuck a metal ball at one of the pickup truck’s armored windows, the window ended up cracking. 

“We threw wrenches, we threw everything even literally the kitchen sink at the glass and it didn’t break. For some weird reason, it broke now,” Musk said at the event. “I don’t know why. We will fix it in post.”
