The glass breaking isn't as bad as this. They could have plausibly just not tested one specific thing. Still bad tho.

If they didn't notice the corrosion, that means they weren't taking the same "truck" out, like if they'd have just racked up 1,000 miles on one in real world conditions, it would have been incredibly obvious. Especially because after testing like that (really way more miles than that) is tearing it all down and seeing how it held up.

These things may have a failure at 10k miles that a $1 piece would have fixed. But no one's gonna know till they get there
