In the past, laminated glass was usually installed in the windshield, with side and rear windows being tempered only.

The difference is that tempered glass is per-stressed so that when it cracks, it shatters into many tiny and dull pieces. Laminated is the same thing, but with layers of plastic sandwiched with layers of tempered glass. Laminated glass will still shatter, but will be held together by the plastic layers.

In an emergency, small improvised, or purpose built tools meant to shatter tempered glass will be useless if the glass is laminated.

    Control the narrative. Rich woman died. Tesla marketing team going on defense.

    You see this a lot every time a Tesla kills somebody.

      LOL those poor people who have to pump a bunch of disinformation through social media sites that contain potential buyers to help excuse their owner away from repercussions.

      But also go fuck them, and the bastardization of the information era we are in because everyone has realized flooding the narrative with alternative and even wrong takes makes it impossible to sift through for the average person.
