"now i’m not saying it’s going to be funny when a cybertruck massacres everyone inside of it because the autopilot hit a concrete barrier going 40 mph, but when the car made out of thick sheet metal with no crumple zones transfers the entire force and energy of the impact into the now liquidated bodies of its driver like a mortal kombat x-ray move, i might laugh"

"the crazy part is it’s so much worse than old cars. old cars were made of 1-2mm thick mild steel usually. the cybertruck is made of 3mm thick STAINLESS steel. in like the 1930s some car manufacturers used to try to make stainless steel cars to stop rusting, but stopped because it was just killing people on impact. the cybertruck is the only stainless steel car in literally decades, and the only one with steel this thick.elon knows his moron customers are the kind of people who think their car needs to be literally bulletproof because they’re too scared to drive through a city and think they’ll get shot, so that’s what they made. a car that kills you and everyone around you to entertain suburban fascist fantasies. its the most american car ever made"

Didn't the recent public unveil show crash-tested Cybertrucks with crumpled fronts? Doesn't even America have stringent safety tests that would ban non-compliant motors from manufacture? Isn't the steel actually less than 1.8mm thick?I know we all love to shit on the melon, but let's try and stick to facts, eh?
What I do find interesting is the complete lack of Tesla branding, which I'm guessing the management have kind of insisted upon.
Also, the more I see of this thing, the more embarrassed I am that I originally thought it looked quite cool and game-changing. Its looks like complete shite to me now, but what the hey.

Syd Mead designed better cars in the 70's and had a much better vision for the world those cars inhabited.PhanLo - The idea that you would drive a bulletbroof car in public streets that is almost twice the height of a sensible sized vehicle shows where Melon's head is at.PhanLo

The crumple-zones seem to be a non-issue per this video. They're incorporated into the design of the front and rear castings.

The Tesla Cybertruck is going to be a nightmare for repairs and insurance, experts say
Elon Musk has delivered on his promise to get the Tesla Cybertruck into production. The wedge-shaped, Syd Mead meets Giorgetto Giugiaro design is out in the world, albeit with some design concessions from the concept version to make the whole package work. It might not go as far as originally promised, it's more expensive than he originally said it would be, but the Cybertruck still looks very close to the concept Musk surprised us with back in 2019—stainless steel body panels and all.

Tesla Robot Attacked Engineer With Its Claws: Report
‘TRAIL OF BLOOD’A robot at Tesla allegedly attacked an engineer, stabbing its metal claws into his back and arm and leaving a “trail of blood” on the machinery, according to a 2021 injury report. The resurfaced incident comes amid new concerns over automated technology and reports of injuries in Tesla’s factories that have been allegedly swept under the rug.

CYBERTRUCK MANUFACTURING IS A DISASTER, TESLA INSIDERS SAY
AND IT'S NOT THE BODY PANELS...Production Hell
It's looking increasingly likely that Tesla is facing serious trouble with the production of its recently announced Cybertruck — and we're not talking about the pickup's highly unusual bulletproof stainless steel exoskeleton or massive glass panels.As Tesla insiders told Reuters, the EV maker's main bottleneck when it comes to building the Cybertruck is actually producing the vehicle's next-generation 4680 lithium-ion battery cells, roughly 1,360 of which are needed for each Cybertruck.
Tesla is trying out an entirely new approach to producing the cells that relies on dry-coating electrodes, a process that's technically faster and cheaper — at least on paper.
But there's one big problem: Tesla apparently has yet to figure out how to scale up the process enough to power entire cars with them.
