Cutting/Bleeding edges on Cybertruck is side effect of using 1.4mm HFS instead of 3mm thickness?

No, it's a result of them not post processing the panels after cutting them.
yes, it feels very much like a punch and die press cut and the raised bur that this shearing method produces was just left the way it came out the die cutter no post processing that's exactly what it feels like. I think i got one of those trucks when the pressure to get them out the door was at its highest. and they were forced to cut corners. i don't know what else ill find out but so far my particular cyberbeast has issues. I took it in for a cargo divider that did not fit my truck .they asked me to bring it in they said they should be able to fix it. I said how will you fix it. because i don't to have to bring it in if all your going to do is force it. they assured me that it would not be forced but thats exactly what they did i took it in a second time for the same issue again they said it would get fixed and they only kept causing more damage to the divider and my bed now i have a broken diveder that still doesnt fit. I soon realized that im missing the cyberbeast logo both the one on the tail gate and the one on the dashboard. and a few other smaller issuses besides reciving the truck dirty and dusty.

My best guess is that the edges are rounded properly in production, but then because of additional scratches, or discoloration, or some other reason, it is sanded/polished again. This could happen late in the stage of manufacture, or at the SC, or by the owner, or by someone doing a mod.

Additional sanding/finishing can easily create a new sharp edge. Obviously if checked for and caught, edges can easily be slightly rounded again.
no i don't think it was caused by any additional scratches or discoloration or some other reason, it is sanded/polished again. that would produce a sharp edge that's parallel to the sheet meal face.
I have a sharp edge that is 90' degrees to the face or perpendicular.

As for the second part of your post no one has done anything to my trucks finish since i got it with 35 miles on the odometer and it still only has 600 total miles on it. it's still brand new! nothing has been done to it.
