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.

That's why there are no compound curves in the stainless steel parts of the truck.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In an apocalypse the power grid will be one of the first thing's to fail so as a bug out vehicle it's utterly useless.

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.
@jp-ty1vd 2 місяці тому
people have been doing just that for over 100+ years without SS construction; not to mention fighting wars in all terrains and weather conditions.

Cybertruck steelplate is 1.8mm and 1.4mm thick. 3mm was the starting point. They managed to reduce it.

I like the idea of the stainless body, but what is the point for a vehicle that is going to last 10 years and be very liable to experience battery failure?
@jaketherake71 2 місяці тому
stainless steel is great, if the batteries and powertrain can last as long as the body. my dads 20 year old dodge is a rusted through POS already. This is a real problem for truck owners. As Cybertruck prices come down over time, and performance improves, it will take a sizeable bite out of the truck/car market just for the brilliant choice of stainless steel. Cheap people will buy them when they are $40K and own them longer than Tacomas.

Scotty you are wrong. The Rivan and the hummer are a heavier that the Cybertruck. The panel gaps will get tighter in time, same as with Model 3/Y. If the Cybertruck gets in an accident, it will have the same damage as the Ford, Chevy, etc. (Only the doors are heavier) If the Cybertruck hits a biker, a bicycle or a walking person the damage will be the same as with any other truck. And so on and so forth.

I think its Scottys personal job now to smash EVs as much as possible

I’m not sure this video was a criticism of the Cybertruck… sounds more like a compliment. Cant wait to get mine.

Constructive criticism.

Scotty, I truly appreciate your input, but I respectfully disagree with your argument regarding weight limits. There are numerous vehicles on the road exceeding 7,500 pounds in weight. Nonetheless, I completely agree with the remainder of your points.

Cybertruck has the lowest hood and bumper of any truck when it’s in entry mode which is what people will have it set to for most street driving where people are FYI
