It definitely seems like an irrelevant point. All car sheet steel arrives in rolls.
I'd be more concerned about how it is formed into panels, how resistant it is to corrosion, what tolerances parts have, how easy is it to replace parts, whether there are visible production flaws due to it being naked steel, and if construction techniques or material thickness makes it more dangerous to occupants or pedestrians in collisions.
I certainly won't be surprised if pictures start appearing in a year or two of cybertrucks that have been completely fucked by salt water corrosion, or heat warppage or other issues caused by their design.
I certainly won't be surprised if pictures of that don't start appearing in a year or two because the things still haven't been delivered
(I know, I know, they're supposed to be delivering the first ones in two days, but I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if that somehow falls through)
