AFAIK the only steel in Cybertrucks is their body. That’s not a lot. They could just change to making the whole “truck” out of aluminum. It’s already got a thin aluminum frame.
Yes but it’s cold rolled steel. Not sure they will get that “bulletproof” quality from aluminum. Aluminum also subject to corrosion. Of course Elon didn’t use 304SS and his rusts. 🤷♀️
Truck is about as bulletproof as wet bread already
It's actually been tested quite a bit and will generally stop pistoI caIibers. Anything more powerful goes through like butter.
Tesla is using a "proprietary" version of 301 stainless.
Even 304 would rust in most vehicle applications. It's still a very high percentage of iron and a very low amount of molybdenum and tungsten.
Yeah but surviving the zombie apocalypse requires that tough stainless steel shell.
It also requires a decent truck.
yeah... about that aluminum. USA doesn't make very much of that anymore. FU Kaiser!
