Something else that has occurred to me is that if the windows are intended to be unpenetrable, then if you're ever in a situation where the door can't open and you need to get out or get someone out of the car (i.e you accidentally drove into a lake), then they're effective trapped in the car and potentially doomed to a terrible death by drowning

I don't think Mr. Musk has thought this whole car through!

Anyway my bet is that they're desperate to beat the electric F-150 to the market and decided to push it out as quickly as possible, but as a result they didn't have enough time to scrub out all of Musk's dumb loving ideas.

Isn't that just a choice you make if you want armored windows in general tho? Or are these coming standard and not part of a optional thing?

Or, hypothetically, maybe the batteries somehow catch fire, meaning the vehicle has lost all power and you can't open the door because you're at an angle and each vehicle panel weighs 60 loving pounds.

as a person with strong opinions on trucks that looks useless and dumb

I bet it doesn't even have strap down points and how do you get a backrack on so you can take ladders and stuff without scratching the paint

Edit: and I bet it doesn't have a lot of ground clearance with a full load so no curb jumping and stufd

probably no where to put a tool box either
