That is the ugliest, most impractical thing. Guess I’m not the target audience (I’m rural, farm country). What a let down.... I was really excited for this too. I don’t think I’ve ever in my life heard anyone with truck say: “Man, it’s amazing off road, but the glass shatters too easily!” disclaimer I have a 3. Love it and Tesla in general. I don’t love this.
How is it impractical?

Gravel roads are ubiquitous in farming country and take out windows regularly.
Eh, no. This is simply not targeted for rural work/job type applications.
Website updated: https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck Interesting observations: - Reservation is only $100 whereas the Model Y is $2500. - 500 mile range on the Tri Motor, nice. - No info on the ATV
There's also a utility trailer on the back in one of the pictures. Maybe just a 3d concept though.

See above. :)
It sounds like you made your comment before the presentation was finished.

Contrary to what most are saying, this was an awesome presentation. They kept it incredibly short, gave basic facts about the car (although nothing on the interior), and blew everyone's mind, for good or for bad, with a new truck unlike anyone would've believed, especially putting it against the F-150. Even with the glass shattering, the fact that it didn't go through was still amazing (they definitely have to work o…

Tesla Lifestyle addon, hopefully. The photo at the campsite has a bunch of accessories in there, too.
Maybe that includes the demographic who would have bought Humvees or more likely the ones who obsess over (or needs) personal safety while driving, ie being the "bigger car in the accident" type of thing people talk about.
Heh. Trying to demo the strength of the windows, he had someone throw a steel ball at it. Shattered instantly. That doesn't mean it isn't an improvement though.

You have stated this multiple times without explaining why farmers etc. wouldn't buy it. Not saying you're wrong, just curious to know why.
We’ll, a good example would be goose neck trailers won’t treat that bedside well. In fact, there’s many, many reasons beds are fairly standardized. Just one off the cuff supporting detail to my gut reaction. :)
The Tesla Armor Glass demonstration on the actual truck was such a fail. And now the broken glass is on full display to everyone watching.
Certainly came as a surprise to Elon.
I notice they let the panel glass bounce in the drop test, which isn't similar to a window installation.
