you also have to factor in the panic that sets in.
the punch device apparently doesnt work with laminated glass. That glass is a safety feature to keep from shattering in a crash.
not sure how tesla people are suppose to get out of a submerged vehicle
I have popped laminated glass with a punch in Fire Department Training. This may have been lexan instead.
That happened to an elderly man stuck in a Rambler. His car was not too far from mine. I made it out of the water and watched as it kept rising, waiting for this man to exit his vehicle.
He didn’t get out.
I went back into the water (which was chest high on me at this point). The water was black and smelled like gasoline. I couldn’t see my shirt more than two inches under the water.
When I got to him, he was paralyzed. His hands were gripping the top of the steering wheel and books were floating by his face.
That told me the water pressure inside was equal to the outside. I fumbled around until I found the door latch and got him out. Poor man was in distress.
I used to think my father was intentionally trying to scare us as kids when he would talk about how to survive in various emergency situations. As I got older, I realized he was doing his best to ensure our survival by providing instructions on how to respond.
It served me well over the course of my life. When disaster started to strike, I knew what was happening and was able to escape it intact. For people with no emergency preparedness training, they either freeze or panic.
