@RodAdib1 Yup. Sledgehammer impact on door cracked base of glass, which is why steel ball didn’t bounce off. Should have done steel ball on window, *then* sledgehammer the door. Next time …

Cybertruck pulls F-150 uphill https://t.co/OfaqUkrDI3

@greenspank Higher hardness, higher strength & doesn’t cost crazy money for ~3mm skins

@TeslaOwnersofMA @Sofiaan @Tesla In general, this is something Tesla should do

@Sofiaan @Tesla We should def make it good to hang out there

Cybertruck is our last product unveil for a while, but there will be some (mostly) unexpected technology announcements next year

@thomasbroadfoot Good question. It’s a new variant of 300 series stainless steel, but it also gets cold-worked many times, depending on kilotonnage of press.

@JohnnaCrider1 @EV_Stevee @PicklePunchD Can be wrapped in any color!

@EV_Stevee @PicklePunchD The body panels will actually be laser cut!

@S_Padival @annerajb @flcnhvy Long term, it probably makes sense to build a smaller Cybertruck too

@vistacruiser7 @RenataKonkoly Interesting idea

@evanthefreeman @CoinstorageGuru True

@RenataKonkoly 🤣🤣

@Erdayastronaut Really? Ok sure.

@vicentes Hardcore body engineers will understand this at a profound level

@vicentes Haha true! New manufacturing methods are certainly needed, but then I’m confident it will actually cost less, because of its simplicity & lower part count.

@annerajb @flcnhvy We’re creating this alloy at Tesla. Not a problem to create a lot of it, but we’ll need to come up with new body manufacturing methods, as it can’t be made using standard methods.

@flcnhvy Starship steel decision came first. We were going to use titanium skins for Cybertruck, but cold-rolled 30X stainless is much stronger.
