Purkiss, is that a pic of her house? Did she drive through a wall in the garage because I'm not seeing a way for her to backup into the pond while backing out of the garage. Plus, if I drove into a pond I'd be able to figure out some way to break the window and swim out of the car. Heck, she had a cell phone in her hand to use as a window breaking device. I guess she was panicking and didn't realize she had the avenue of her escape right in the palm of her hand. Unless, of course, Tesla makes nonbreakable windows. Maybe a 100 lb. Asian woman doesn't have the arm strength the break a windown. Someting wong wiff dis.
Front door windows in late model cars are now laminated just like windshields. A cell phone won’t break it. And if it does break it won’t shatter because of the lamination. During an extrication we have to cut laminated glass with a glass saw or use an axe and chew around the edges then pull it from the tracks.
Yes. But the laminate will still be almost impossible to tear/cut without real tools.
Older vehicles with tempered door windows will shatter, so headrest forks can work to break those. The glass certification is located near a bottom corner of the glass so you can learn what type is installed on your vehicle.

Use the headrest forks to pierce the windows.
