The CyberTruck is going to be so heavy and so fast it may not even slow down as it goes through another car. Just car pieces and body parts trailing behind.

If the floor pan is steel and the rest of the body is aluminum I wonder how they are attached.

I'm reading Tesla is saying the Cybertruck is going to be made out of a different material not stainless steel but no word what kind of material.
