Closeup Cybertruck BIW body in white shots from GFTX [7/14/23]

I think buoyancy was one of the design and engineering targets for team members.

All cars are bouyant. There is apparently a buoyancy test and the standards in China are harder and made the Model Y in China a little harder to engineer. Lessons learned there, applied here perhaps.

... inner-exoskeleton

Ah! Now it all makes sense...

Ding, dong, the passthrough (theory) is dead!

Joining the ranks of other obviously fantasy theories; no mirrors/just cameras, laser wipers.

Wonderful

Along with sail storage, tailgate ramp, top light-bar, and unless something drastic happens, not sure if 240v is in the cards either.. hope I'm wrong. Now that I think of it, we haven't seen any provisioning for an air compressor connection either.. just one little hatch door inside the bed with barely enough room for a 120v or maybe a 30amp 120v rv plug.. blah.. dang it .. I'm getting depressed now..

So it seems like this is no longer the plan:

Maybe it's a good thing that it's not a unibody. Any accident would total out the car. Insurance would be through the roof. The way they seem to be building it looks like it would be easier to replace damaged panels instead of the whole thing.

I was recently told boat mode is real.

Ye of little faith.

Now if Jesus could walk on water, why can't Greggertruck in a Cybertruck?

Time to put your floaties on mate. ?

Jesus DID walk on water, but I won't take it there. <3
I however will not be yeeting any vehicles across a body of water. lol

 

[Cyberman]

That's a pretty badass Cyborg lookin' shot. I'm likin' it!

 

[CYBRSMTH]

Ooooo, these are great shots. Really clear for a change. I wonder what alloys that BIW is made out of? Maybe the exoskeleton skin will just pop on there, like LEGOs. ?

Lol. Not disputing if he did or not, just surprised you didn't believe the CT would float, seeing that EM said it would months ago.

But seriously, when he announced the boat mode, my first thought was "there goes rhe midgate!". That thing would just make it sink.

I don't doubt the float, all vehicles have to float for a period of time. I just doubted a vehicle projected itself in water for a measurable amount of time is all. Pleasant? surprise. haha

So it seems like this is no longer the plan:

if you look at the upper picture closer it is 304L stainless steel sheet attached to a steel frame work to make up the exoskeleton. . Why do I say steel frame work…..because the stainless can’t be stamp formed. It has always been designed with steel backing the bent stainless sheets.. The order of assembly is different than what is shown.
