I believe their intention was to make it more dent-proof which ended up making it bullet proof(ish) at the same. I think that’s a good feature. Modern cars are made out of cardboard
That’s by design. It’s called crumple zone and it saves lives
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 and what experts have to say about them.
There’s a video of the test I mentioned
