Is laminated glass why my rented chevy bolt has so many pits? Car’s only got 7k miles on it, but when I drive toward the sun it’s like driving into a glitter storm.
I don't know. But windshields have been laminated glass since forever.
Your previous comment stated it was 2020
Windshields have been laminated for decades. Side windows were tempered glass for decades, and since 2020 are mandated to be laminated glass.
You may one day learn the difference between MAY and MUST.
Makes me think of the supposed bullet-proof cyber truck glass... Odds are much more likely you'll be trying to escape your car than be under a hail of gunfire lol.
This is apparently a common thing across car manufacturers now.
WTF, how can they just make a change like that, and it get approved to be on the road?
Youtube comment,
Tesla that crashed into a pole, it was on fire, and the driver was trapped behind the laminated glass. Scary situation.
The first in crew that responded had a firefighter try to break the glass with a conventional window punch device, that didn't work.
Then he tried smashing it with some forcible entry tools, that didn't work either.
The driver ended up dying. It took 45 mins to extinguish the flames and 15 mins to get the car doors open.
I've just learned that laminated glass is now mandatory across all models since 2020.
