The stainless body is not good for cars because if you get in an accident, the stainless panels will not crumple, which is needed so the panels will remove some of the energy instead of you taking the brunt of the accident force. Also, the "jaws of life" can't cut through stainless metal, so the emergency crew would not be able to get you out of the car, and every second is important is you were bleeding.

I read a comment about the front bumper of the cybertruck essentially being a giant leaf spring because of how it is fitted. It is under constant load and if it were to "spring" loose it could cause catastrophic damage. Let alone the noted fact that the untrimmed edges are all like potential knives to cut off your apendages on the doors and bed.

However the stored energy generally serves a purpose to move matter. The bumper just existing is not stored energy with the intent of work load, it is that way due to one wing nuts specific design philosophy.

That's why there are no compound curves in the stainless steel parts of the truck. While the added strength and mass will make the trucks safer, the lack of deformation in an accident will transfer the energy to the interior and occupants.

Just watch the interviews with the Cybertruck team leaders on Munro Live. The Cybertruck is designed with crumple zones just like any other vehicle. These guys are part of the same company that rung the bell at the tippy top of the safety charts in Europe with Model S and Model 3. They know how to make a vehicle safe for occupants and pedestrians. It is really disingenuous for Scotty to compare the Cybertruck to a European hatchback. Compare it to a Chevy Silverado and see which one is safer for pedestrians.

The prototype Cybertruck body panels were 3 mm thick, but the production models' are 1.8 mm thick for the doors and the other panels are 1.4 mm thick. The Ford stainless cars were produced at the end of the model runs since stamping the stainless panels would damage the presses after just a few stampings. The Delorean had a fiberglass body with bolted on stainless panels. The panels were very thin gauge stainless.

I fully expect that by the time I get my CT it will be the last vehicle I need to buy. Stainless and aluminum will not rust, the battery will last a million miles or more (I won't need to drive that many more miles in my lifetime) and when I'm too old to drive myself around, it will chauffeur me around wherever I need to go. In the meantime, it might help me make money with energy arbitrage in my home battery. Charge it from panels on my roof for free for as long as I need to except when I take a road trip? Yup, gonna pay for itself over time and last me until I die. I can justify $80k for a truck that lasts me from 50 until I die. Hell, I can justify more than that. Unfortunately, I don't expect to see it for another few years. With luck, the price will have come down by then, as it invariably will.

I saw an overlap side view of the Ford F150 Lightning Pickup vs a Cybertruck impacting into a solid barrier. In frame by frame they demonstrated point of impact, and then showed how the Ford was absorbing the damage and visibly crumpling into the barrier as the speed was slowed down. The CT did not do too much crumpling at all by comparison until the truck could not move forward anymore and the occupants fully absorbed the sudden stop from 35 plus mph. Based on the data from the dummies onboard, it was established that the Lightning's occupants had a better than 80% chance of survival over the Cybertruck. It's the same theory behind why skydivers wear parachutes, why stuntmen land in piles of pads, and Formula 1 cars have the gravel runoffs around some challenging corners on a track. When skydiving, it isn't the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end.

the rigidity of the ss in the hood/front compartment means that in any time of at-speed front collision, the passengers will be at a higher risk for significant head injury. the whole point of 'crumple zones' is to absorb as much of the impact into the vehicle body & dissipate the force before it reaches passengers; if the front doesn't crumple sufficiently, then more force is transferred thru to passengers.

A couple things: Deloreans were built using a lot of fiberglass in the construction(like a corvette) of the body with stainless steel covering it all. The Cybertruck isn't even that safe for the occupants as the sturdy and rigid construction results in a lack of crumple zones. If you have an accident, all that kinetic energy needs to go somewhere, of the frame of the car isnt absorbing it, then the passengers will have to in stead.

I remember there being something about the Rivian being extremely expensive to repair. There was someone who got a damaged back fender and the repair was said to cost a lot. Don't remember the details, but effectively the repair involved replacing a very large part, a about 20% of the skin. Some one managed to cut out the damaged part and weld in a replacement. Some paint and it was as new, and a lot cheaper than the official quote from Rivian. Now if it had been stainless things would not be as "simple". Experts can do a fantastic welding of stainless, I've seen it. But it takes a lot more than being comfortable with a TIG to make it invisible on a plain steel surface. Actually I'm not sure it's possible. Swapping the whole panel would be the only option and quite expensive.

Galvanizing is good at rust prevention, up to a point. Not everyone is going to keep a car on the road for forty years, like a collectible 911 or Corvette for example. The zinc coating on galvanized steel works on the sacrifice principle and when it has given up all its ions, rust can now go to work on the underlying steel. In a world where cars get scrapped after five years because they won't pass the roadworthiness test, stainless steel seems like unnecessary overkill. But let the consumer decide.

It's a myth that stainless steel has a higher density than carbon steel and mild steel. Or at least the difference is miniscule. For example, the two most common construction steel grades, S235 and S355 has a density of 7.85 kg/dm3, while stainless steel 304 (used in the Cyber Truck) has a density of 7,93 kg/dm3. That's a 1% difference. Pretty much all steel qualities' densities, stainless or non-stainless, falls within the range of 7.8 to 8.0 kg/dm3.

@@frank254100 Fair question but combustion cars can be converted to burn many fuels other than gas. Only reason it's not more common is because of energy density & why burn off more carbon for less power.

@@GWAForUTBE I wasn't bashing solar power. Solar power is awesome. Huge battery EVs on the other hand are mostly an energy burner that would take ridiculous amounts of time & energy to charge. They already take too long to charge, and that's with an electric infrastructure. It would be different if we were discussing something much more efficient, like an electric KEI car. With a small battery and greater efficiency a trickle charge from solar panels might work the treat.

over 2,00,000 preordered. 20,000 additional orders coming in per week. Also Scotty mentioned 3mm thick stainless. This is old info. The actual thickness is less. On the weight comment, this truck is a 2500 class, not a 1500.

unlike other stainless steel cars they don't use space-grade stainless steel there is a pretty difference between the grade of stainless steel used between the DeLorean and the Cyber truck.

Its smart the premium truck market - will have strong margins. But for next retail friendly vic he needs a new approach (more in support of true mass production - with under 30k price point).

Generally, pickup trucks are designed to sell the macho image, have unneeded massive grills and their hood height swallows small cars and pedestrians right in front of the truck, making them essentially invisible to the driver. The cybertruck follows the trend of "I do not give a rats a** about OTHER road users. You want to be safe? Drive a bigger pickup truck!" It is a short-sighted attitude that kills hundreds of people unnecessarily every single year. The cybertruck is merely accelerating the arms race on the road.

But don’t forget the other part: it’s a tank to prevent city people from breaking into the truck to steal from inside the truck.

Trucks can be cool though, look at the new Hummer EV. It has some sense to its design and has safety features just like the other cars on road

It makes sense to have a car thats not for the city but for country use. Traveling trough tough terrain and transporting cargo with tough steel construction that could work for decades without falling apart.

people have been doing just that for over 100+ years without SS construction; not to mention fighting wars in all terrains and weather conditions.

@@snakeeyes9246 Lol you're drowning in rising sea levels either way. EVs aren't going to change that. I'm not saying EVs are definitely bad, but they're definitely not significantly better for the environment than combustion. There's pros and cons either way.

@@UltraMagaFan I'm with you on this i just think it's such a complicated topic with so many different aspects to it, that it's difficult to prove and quantify. But i can say with confidence (and i'm sure we agree) that anyone who thinks EVs are some kind of environmental saviour are completely deluded.

Morris made a Morris minor too. It never rusted so they thought people would not buy any more. The Rover 75 had aluminum doors to save weight. Unfortunately the wings were normal steel and these filled up with mud and rusted out!

I'm not a fan of the cyber truck or electric car in general, but with that said I just seen a Nissan t-bone the cyber truck the Nissan is totaled the cyber truck got towed away but only had dents! And the passengers were completely fine! I hate to say it but that is impressive
