Cybertruck exoskeleton concept is no longer viable for Tesla

[Redaktion]

First gigacast Cybertruck body sections have little to show for Elon Musk's exoskeleton concept revealed when announcing its first electric pickup. 'People familiar with the matter' now tell why.

Part of me is disappointed, because it sounded very cool. But part of me is relieved, because I didn't see how a crunched exoskeleton could be repaired without a LOT of work.

I'll miss the seating for 6 burly construction workers, though.

You are way off base. 90% of what you are saying and spreading is wrong. You clearly have never been in this factory and know nothing about production methods. Do you realize the equipment that makes this truck had to be invented. It did not exist. The engineering challenges alone that had to be overcome are staggering. To hear you critique it with almost zero knowledge is sad. Its just click bait. I work in GFTX and know much about CT. Lets leave it there. Please report on how to make a pencil vs manufacturing of a automobile. Seriously.

THINK ABOUT IT. IF IT IS A EXOSKELETON WOILD YOU NOT BE ABLE TO UNBOLT IT AND REBOLT ANOTHER ONE IN ITS PLACE? DONT BE DISAPPOINTED. IT IS A TRULY WORK OF ART THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.

The articles contains lots of may be this and may be that and nothing of essence.

Is this the standard of journalist nowadays.

Do some proper research and verify what you spew out pls.

Unfortunately Mr Musk is nog an automotive engineer or designer and was
talking utter nonsense about the supposedly revolutionary exoskeloton. Its turned out that it is now just like a Honda Ridgeline, which was heavily criticized for not being a "real" truck as it didnt have a separate frame.Well it does have some castings added so thats something. I hope that the Tesla fanboys can live with that.
Anyone that has worked in the automotive industry knew that the proposal flouted by Mr Musk wasnt feasible as unfortunately there are factors like crash zones and manufacturing etc to concider.The Cybertruck is a flashy toy for rich yuppies to go get a latte from Starbuck in or go pick up some flowers and potting soil from Home Depot.Its rather striking but no worktruck.

Talking about producing an exoskeleton is easier than building one.Much like talking about hyperloop trains that run at 270mph that then turn into taxis running at 30mph in a tunnel driven by an Uber driver.

What your spreading is false information and it shows to anyone that knows anything about how vehicle design works and manufacturing that you know by the sounds of it literally nothing please research what the castings are and what part of the vehicle they are before you post something like this

So it's a unibody pickup truck?

LOL, how "groundbreaking"

[Nottoday]

What a surprise, the Elon dickriders screeching in the comments about supposed inaccuracies but of course they can't give an example, because their opinion comes entirely from emotion.

[Pete Namlook]

Why is no one else talking about the fact that the OP keeps saying it is made of steel when it is really stainless steel?

I hate Tesla and even I know that.

[Jettrod]

How different could an exoskeleton actually be from a unibody? Neither have a frame, instead relying on the body to keep things square and in alignment.

Will believe this when Musk says so, otherwise just more nobodies online throwing shade.

Wouldn't that basically be a whole rebuild, though?

Also, DO WE SERIOUSLY HAVE TO YELL SO MUCH?

[Truckeng]

It was never going to pass US crash tests. It was never going to be delivered at the price point promised.

NHTSA saved Musk from the exoskeleton concept. Inflation saved him from the price point.

Good thing for him that he didn't enter into some sort of binding agreement that forced him to deliver, like he did with Twitter.

Elmo is the king of simps and chads. He's a felcher through and through. f*** him!
