Comment on Tesla's Cybertruck may not be so stainless after all

  On cars yeah but I’m not sure if that’s so much of a factor on “body on a frame” trucks because the frame does not crumble much. Cybertruck doesn’t have such frame because it has an exoskeleton but if you were to make it out of thinner metal then you’d need to add the sub-frame anyway so the end result is still the same.

  Also, Tesla has a pretty impressive track record on when it comes to IIHS and Euro NCAP crash tests so I’d be surprised if Cybertruck was an exception.

    So what you’re saying is not only is it ugly, rust prone, and poorly designed, it’s ALSO unsafe.

      I haven’t said a single thing about rust, appereance or design.

    The Cybertruck is an exception tho. It was tested at ~50 km/h and hardly crumpled at all.

      Well unlike you I’m a total idiot when it comes to analyzing crash tests so I’ll reserve my judgement untill I see some official test results.
