Loved this video, saw one at the Galleria Mall in Fort Lauderdale Florida. What a cool machine technology, function, etc... Loved the integrated Top Cover that you push a button on and bed is covered. Was so sold I was literally ready to buy, despite the fact not really a silver car lover. Ford F250 Platinum owner that moved to Model X for the free supercharging and love it but miss my truck.

That said, car enthusiast here, detail all my family cars, been to the detail classes and take it seriously. Wonder how long before they offer a version with standard paint jobs with clear coat.

1.) Easy to maintain
2.) End User Consumer better options on Colors
3.) Stainless Steel is Cool, if you like Silver and need special maintenance instructions. In Example, anyone that has good Ceramic Coat or PPF or other protection often has the RAIN maintain the vehicle, as one of the podcasters, Mike I believe, pointed out, filling in all the bare metal is a good idea, regardless of the metal used.

Otherwise, this truck is AWESOME. Cannot wait till scale production and options, which MAY happen. Just not in the next few years.

Thanks for making the chapters pretty accurate. The show was about so much more than "Does Cybertruck Rust?"

Part of the talk was about a Cybertruck crash with a Dodge Ram Pick up truck. A host brought up the ultimate crash: Cybertruck vs. Cybertruck.
This image came to my mind:


King Kong vs. Godzilla.jpg

Notice how everyone is running!
On a serious note, the lack of crumple zone is quite a deviation from the modern standard for automobile safety. You also brought up the question of how much acceleration-deceleration force would be felt by the Cybertruck passengers, especially as it relates to the brain. We all are familiar with the crash test dummies (not the music group, here) but I wonder if the crash test dummies can test what happens to the brain in the cranium (concussion, etc.) even is the is no other bodily injury to the Cybertruck passengers because of the stiffness of the vehicle. How do the safety tests check for potential brain injury? Also, what are the government's safety testing results for the Cybertruck? Finally, has Tesla or any testing government run a test of a Cybertruck vs. Cybertruck accident simulation? I think they don't test vehicle to vehicle for crash testing, but we all would like to know the results! (May be topics for a future podcast, and a challenge for Mr. Beast!)
Thanks,
