Not really, these castings are an extremely tough alloy.  

Like I said, get used to Giga Press* frames. Hyundai, Ford, Toyota, Volvo...a list is getting very long. 

When you make a unibody you are either welding or bonding together over 100 parts, then there's all the robots & other work involved. A Giga Press reduces that down to two castings and one structural battery pack. Takes about 3 minutes to make each casting for a Tesla Model Y, and they have several machines.

* Not Tesla's term, the company that builds the machine named it.

Keep on defending the indefensible, Doc... Stay classy...

Reading several reports on this incident, it sounds like he drove through some deep water. People do that a lot in Michigan too, with similar results.

Guy drives the car through water, floods the battery, and it stops working, Unlike the Cybertruck, most electric vehicles do not have the option to pressurize the battery to keep out water.

Drive many ICE cars through water and the engine hydro-locks $$$$

Or you have a car with a Lucas electrical system and it'll stop working on a cloudy day... two states away (been there).

I mean, the same could be said for everyone else

On the one hand, you have a member praising Telsa at every opportunity

On the other hand, you have everyone else complaining about Tesla at every opportunity.

LOL They know it can't offroad.

Tesla Cybertruck Owner Goes To ER After Being Sliced During Delivery

Anyone who has ever excitedly awaited the delivery of a new car can relate to Tesla Cybertruck Owners Club forum member bdesign. Four years ago, he placed his initial reservation for one of the stainless-steel electric pickups. Then, earlier this year, he received an invitation to place his final order. He would finally be taking home the new truck that would replace his V8-powered Chevy Silverado Trail Boss. Little did he know that the new Tesla would later send him to the emergency room. 

////

When the delivery day finally came, it didn't go quite the way he hoped, to put it gently. The truck had several visual blemishes and build quality issues. It was clear that the service center team did not properly prep the vehicle. In a forum post just after taking delivery, he described the truck as being in "sloppy, sloppy condition at delivery."

The dent got his attention the most. He ran his finger across this damaged area to see if it was indeed a dent or perhaps some kind of residue. As he was rubbing the damaged area of the panel, he felt a sudden sharp pain and jerked his hand away. Due to the angle of his arm, he apparently slit his wrist open on the extremely sharp corner where the side panels and the tailgate meet.

Who knew there were so many people that buy into the stupid.

But then again, Americans buy into Trump NFC, "credits" (Trump Rebate Banking System), Made in China MAGA hats and Golden sneakers too 🙄

Well the cybertruck got wet. It probably voided the warranty. 

[Xenon]

This is more serious. His brakes did not engage, he hit a lamp post and his airbags did not deploy.

The beginning of the end for the worst vehicle in modern history.

Ooh, low blow man, low blow.  But, we should probably get back on topic...

 

So, that Cybertruck... Piece of garbage, right?   I'm continually amazed how far the usual suspects will go to support their lord and master...

Good lord... get this car off the roads.
