Here’s Why Tesla’s Cybertruck is the Deadliest Vehicle Ever Made

Here’s Why Tesla’s Cybertruck is the Deadliest Vehicle Ever Made

Stainless steel-bodied cars is it clever marketing or genius engineering the Cyber truck wasn’t the first and neither was the DMC DeLorean not many people know this but Ford tried it too GM Maserati and Porsche also tried in their own ways but there’s a reason why most

Car makers today steer far far away from stainless steel today we’ll look at why stainless steel cars are impractical why it’s a repair and insurance Nightmare and why Elon Musk was wrong and hang tight to the end to see how the Cyber truck will be a danger on American roads

Stainless steeling cars isn’t a new phenomena and it’s not a modern invention despite what many think just rewind almost 100 years ago in the 1930s most people don’t know this but actually Ford Motor Company was one of the first car makers to make stainless steel cars

It did so in partnership with the alany Ludlum Steel company among the first stainless steel cars were six unpainted Ford Model 68 deluxes each year aligan llam loan these cars out to the top sales and it did so for 10 years these stainless steel cars ended up logging

Over 200,000 Mi the car making process involved Automotive die stamping basically it’s a process where a machine punches coins bends and manipulates steel problem was when these cars were originally produced the dies got damaged as it stamped out the harder stainless Parts this added a new complication to

Manufacturing if you were a car maker you now also needed tougher dies that could withstand mass production and a turnover was short too in other words a additional manufacturing costs but Ford didn’t completely leave its stainless steel cars in the 1930s fast forward 30 years later to the 1960s and Ford was

Working again with alagan Lam Steel company to produce two stainless steel Ford Thunderbirds this time they went for a brushed finish throughout the 1950s to the 1970s other companies like GM and Maserati also tried their hand at incorporating stainless steel in their vehicles their Creations weren’t about entire stainless steel cars but they

Focused more on individual stainless steel cars Parts I’m talking about things like roofs hubc caps windscreen pillars and so forth for example the 1957 to 58 Cadillac El Dorado brome had a stainless steel roof so did the Maserati Boris that were made from 1971 to 1978 then came 1981 and out zoomed

The DMC DeLorean thanks in part to Marty McFly this stainless steel car became an iconic cultural phenomena and it remains so even down to this day from the very beginning the DeLorean was conceived as a stainless steel panel Gall wing door design I’m talking 304 grade stainless

Steel which funny enough is the exact same kind of stainless steel you have in your kitchen appliances the delorean’s front and rear fenders gwing doors hood and roof tea panels were all made out of stainless steel the stainless steel doors and body panels were bolted into place but here’s an interesting thing

Stainless steel is notorious for its extra weight but the DeLorean weighed in at around 2,800 lb reason is the DeLorean wasn’t actually 100% stainless steel for the DMC DeLorean the die issued the that had played car makers in the past was no longer an issue that’s because the delorean’s body was brushed

Stainless steel but while that one issue was solved others arose namely the DeLorean gained itself a reputation for not delivering the power and performance the consumer expected for that price tag but let’s fast forward to today if you’re wondering why we really don’t see more stainless steel cars on the road

Right now well there’s an actual reason why car makers avoid it like the plague if you first guess this consumer’s annoyance with the reflective glare and fingerprints well that’s a definite downside but actually there’s much greater reasons why stainless steel is Impractical in cars first and foremost stainless steel is expensive and it’s

Not easy to work with either the individual stainless steel parts for the car makers tried out in the past were at their core very simple and flat with the exception of the Porsche kimman that is stainless steel is also challenging to weld compared to other types of Steel

Like mild steel for example even DMC acknowledged the challenges of stainless steel according to the company the body panels of the DeLorean would never be repaired if or when the body pan pels were damaged they need to be completely replaced and remember it’s not cheap to replace the whole part instead of

Repairing it stainless steel requires Top Notch grinding services and precise Machinery it’s not something the average Joe can do these processes take time and precision to complete because of that typically there can be weight periods for the necessary parts to become available to put on the car now it’s

True that stainless steel resists corrosion that’s one benefit of stainless steel but there are other approaches to resisting corrosion in a vehicle take galvanization or high quality primer in paint for example not only can methods like this prevent rust but they’re also more affordable too here’s the other thing well it’s true

That you want your car to stay in good shape while you own it no one expects their car to last forever there’s no need getting insurance companies to cover the cost to repair stainless steel is no walking apart even if the insurance company does agree to help

Cover the cost you still have to deal with a long weight line to get those parts anyway the reason behind the exhausting delay with tesle cybertruck was largely due to production difficulties around its proprietary stainless steel the futuristic tough truck was originally unveiled more than 4 years ago in 2019 and it consistently

Fell behind schedule not many people know this but the Tesla cyber truck is made from a stainless steel alloy that was developed by SpaceX it’s called Ultra hard 30X cold roll stainless steel to develop the cybertrucks a custom exterior Tesla Parton with a ram a steel maker in Luxembourg the Cyber truck’s

Panels are absurdly thick 3 mm to be exact and they’re unusually stiff if you’re wondering why Tesla made the cybertruck with stainless deal well it’s not just for sci-fi Aesthetics the short answer is that Elon Musk wanted to make it bulletproof and nearly impenetrable in his own words if you have an argument

With another car you will win but there have been trade-offs to using stainless steel stainless steel isn’t cheap it’s also less malleable and heavier earned weight compared to other more traditional materials according to reports the Cyber truck stainless steel is made in coils pretty much think a giant rolls a toilet paper except

Instead of toilet paper it’s super stiff metal because of this the metal ends the curve and attempts to return to its previous coil shape even after it’s been flatten that’s called metal memory the Cyber trucks Ultra stiff stainless steel also happens to be ultra hard to bend and manipulate even Elon Musk himself

Bragged that conventional Auto pressence which can exerts tons of force can’t even shape Tesla’s stainless steel cuz it’s too thick and too hard that’s why Tesla has to laser cut and bend the pieces into shape plus Elon Musk himself noted another problem with the cybertruck stainless deal that was

Evident in a leaked email apparent because the Cyber truck is made in bright metal with mostly straight edges any dimensional variation shows up like a sore thumb there’s also the problem of panel gaps the stainless steel body makes it difficult for Tesla to align his panels funny enough Tesla cars are

Already notorious for lack of build quality I’m talking about panel gaps and Alignment issues which to this day Tesla hasn’t resolved so it’s ironic that Tesla wanted to make its own job even harder by using the metal that’s inherently challenging to work with all of this is to say the stainless steel in

The Cyber truck has been a production nightmare Believe It or Not Enon musk himself lamented we dug our own grave with the Cyber truck some critics even cited the Cyber truck as a major step backwards for Tesla despite its overall progress and approach to car making Elon

Musk himself estimated some 12 to 18 months of Blood Sweat and Tears he also forecast that Tesla likely won’t reach an annualized production rate of 250,000 cyber trucks until sometime in 2025 and even that looks unlikely now Tesla didn’t learn much from the DeLorean the DeLorean may be a cult classic now but

Back in the day it faced tons of production issues too also because of its stainless steel body and panel alignment sadly that company only made 9,000 units anyway the cost of the Cyber truck shouldn’t be a huge surprise especially when you consider its production issues and high cost of the

Metal the base rear wheel drive version starts at 6,990 bucks the all-wheel drive will start at 79,90 bucks and the topmost trim with Tesla’s calling the Cyber Beast model begins at 99,00 $990 don’t get me wrong the Cyber truck stainless deal is supposedly resistant to all types of Nick scratches and

Damages but aside from production issues later after consumers buy a cyber truck will face other issues namely if and when the Cyber truck does get dented or any of its panels break then repairing it will be yet another new nightmare but there’s a third nightmare which hasn’t

Crossed many people’s minds but I bet you the first time we’ll hear of a cyber truck collision or car crash it will become a public concern cyber truck being Bulletproof and all that may provide ease of mind to the driver and passengers after all musk himself said

That the apocalypse can happen at any moment and if so the Cyber truck will provide the best in apocalyptic technology and that may be all true but until then we have the real world to contend with and when it comes to real world safety of the Cyber truck on the

Road the reality is a much different story you see here’s the thing about the Cyber truck if you’re driving inside of one you’re going to feel fairly well protected but if you happen to be a pedestrian cyclist motorcyclist or even another driver on the road next to a

Cyber truck you won’t feel so safe the Cyber truck is a stainless steel beast of the vehicle it’s huge and super heavy Tesla has reported its Halo all-wheel cyberbeast weighs a whopping 6,843 lbs to put it in the perspective a typical gas powerered full-size pickup truck like the F-150 weighs 4,100 to

5700 lb and the average passenger car can weigh around 4,000 lb and that’s for a large car smaller cars can weigh 2500 lb as you can imagine if a cyber truck were to collide with any of these vehicles you can guess which vehicle will come out on top literally the Cyber

Truck also has a high hood and bumper so if you’re a pedestrian who happens to be crossed in the street when a cyber truck comes barreling down the road let’s just say it won’t be pretty if you look at Europe you see the typical European hatchback is designed so that if

Pedestrians hit they’d fall onto the hood the hood itself in these vehicles is also made to deform and absorb the impact of a pedestrian’s head to make these vehicles as pedestrian safe as possible their hoods are usually made from lighter less dense materials like aluminum but this isn’t the case for the

Cyber truck and that’s why you won’t find a cyber truck in Europe anytime soon a cyber truck can however be sold in the US Canada and Mexico because North America fils different classifications of trucks now I’m not saying that Tesla doesn’t care about pedestrian safety after all Tesla

Designed its model 3 with the safety detection system and it designed a hood that actually lifts to reduce any impact force in the event of a frontal collision with a pedestrian but now you tell me do you think Elon Musk made a mistake in making the Cyber truck out of
