How did they not test that that would work first?

Looks like they designed a time machine then forgot to include the time machine.
Something goofed for sure. Not sure if they installed the wrong glass in the windshields or what happened. They tested a piece of glass outside the truck, which worked, but it was clamped down the entire time. I think it’s the difference in how the glass responds while clamped down and cut in a rectangle vs. cut to fit the window hole and unclamped. Whole presentation fell flat after that. Elon was ticked and it seemed like it got cut short. They didn’t even show the interior during the live session.
As far as the truck’s design, I can’t decide if I’m following the popular opinion of “it’s freaking ugly” or if I’m following the sci-fi fan in me that says “that’s actually kinda cool.”

The vehicle reminds me more of an armored car/Hummer evolution than a truck though.
