Add to the fact that the cybertruck doesn't have crumple zones

This is a absolutely false and you can see it in videos and there is even an engineering discussion that describes how it works.

The castings themselves have areas that begin weaker, and becoming increasingly stronger as the crash moves further into the casting.

It disperses the energy as it crumples.

This isn't even new to their CT castings, it's designed into their other vehicles as well.
