The cybertruck design is dangerous.
The sharp edges with raw steel can cut someone.
Someone did already get cut badly on their cybertruck
They roll the edges of steel for a reason, it makes it safer
Granted. Rack that up to “too many issues” as I said. The Cybertruck can still have the clean (less rounded) edges without being sharp enough to cause harm. There are other cars with “angular” designs which don’t cause bodily harm.
Don't know how accurate it is as I don't own cybertruck and don't know much about how it is built, but I heard that it has an aluminum frame, and since aluminum and steel can't touch (as the joint would degrade without stone special treatment) they went with cheaper solution and used plastic joints to connect them.
Is that true?
Not sure how the cybertruck is put together, but rubber/poly vibration isolators is pretty standard for every body-over-frame truck I've seen.
