The patent US20230012646A1 describes glass structures for use in Cybertruck.
Cybertruck windows with curves and lines are made using a method where heat is applied to a specific spot on flat glass. This spot is then bent to create a line or curve in the glass. The bend can have a radius of 2 mm to 5 cm. More layers of curved or joined glass can be added to make complex curved windows for Cybertruck.
