Tesla Model 3 vs Hammer

[Toz]

Someone was driving their Tesla Model 3 and there's a dashcam video of a hammer flying into their windshield while driving.

Scary situation to be in, for sure, as your reaction time will be quite limited. All you can really do is hope that Elon Musk continues to work on building strong windshields.

The story can be found, here (FOX News Article).

Nah, is not unbelievable. Any windshield has this "power". I had a similar case in the past, with a small size bolt, at a fast speed, more like a bullet and the windshield had a small hole, and the bolt was there, outside.

It most likely the film layer that halt the hammer penetration to the cockpit

You're saying the bolt pierced a hole into your windshield but the bolt remained outside your vehicle?

Yeah. It was stuck outside, with windshield half broken.
