I think people get so wound up about this because they've driven budget cars their whole life and a Tesla is their first big purchase and don't have any contextual understanding of advanced car parts going wrong.

E: the only times I have heard of glass shattering like this for enthusiast vehicles is the people who compete in audio competitions, but if you have 10k watts of subwoofers in a car then windows shattering isn't exactly spontaneous.

Saftey glass is created under extreme tension. It is normal for it to explode. It is only newsworth because it happened on a Tesla.
Importantly, across more than 100 million cars and 20 years, fewer than 1000 combined cases of shattered rear windows or sun roofs were recorded.
Tesla has had more than a dozen reported cases of shattered rear windows in the last 2 years alone. That's industry leading, and not in a good way.
... when it happens to Tesla, your reaction is "normal", "expected", "only news because it happened to Tesla".
You act like it's "Breaking News" on CNN.
That said, Tesla’s QC is horrible, even more at the end of each quarter. They don’t care since they sell every car they make for now.
