Tesla Cybertruck crumple zones rely on shattering gigacastings for occupant safety — repair cost implications could be dire
Tesla recently explained how the crumple zones in the Cybertruck help protect the electric pickup truck's occupants. As opposed to a bending frame, collisions seem to obliterate the entire front gigacasting. The Cybertruck's safety has been called into question a number of times due to its stiff...
