LOL. This discussion is funny and you are actually the closest to being correct. Any conductor sticking through a faraday cage is a conduit to allow EMP to do it's damage. Maintaining the EMP characteristics of missile silos and launch control facilities is serious business. If a signal can get out, a signal can get in. If you air-gap your comm, that would be a good start. I'm not an ELECTRICAL engineer but AM an INDUSTRIAL engineer and a student with about half a year left on his Masters degree from the school of advanced nuclear deterrence studies. Part of our studies is visiting our nuclear locations including the labs like Los Alamos National Lab, Sandia National Lab, etc. We get detailed briefs.? … ?
Until a real electrical engineer jumps in to correct me…because the metal enclosures would have to fully isolate the electronics. For that electronics to communicate with the world outside the box, you’d probably need optical interfaces so an electrical surge wouldn’t follow wires into the box. Might need a battery inside the box, too, so no electrons pass.
That might be worth the expense and space if you’re designing a military aircraft whose purpose is surviving World War III to bomb the other country, but few Cybertruck buyers are willing to pay the price in money and compromised everyday performance to survive something we may never face. It might push the Cybertruck to near-Hummer bloat ?
And I’m unsure I’d want to survive all out nuclear war to face a brief and brutal life, scavenging for food produced before our agricultural system had most of its critical links evaporated. Better to live fully with my nimble Cybertruck before the apocalypse.
Also, you DON'T want metalic window tint - it kills cell reception. In the event of a nuclear war, I can offer this advice - Don't be near nuclear explosions. See? This degree is already paying off!
