What if they are stackable… like solo cups.A lot of really good points, but I have some quibbles.
- If they are folded and cut by a third party, you add a lot of extra logistics for shipping and handling. The shape of the truck will be unstable without the windows and structural battery pack so you will need to secure the very large cut/ shaped body pieces with sort of temporary frame.
- Just shipping and receiving 5,000 - 10,000 Cybertruck bodies per week would be a fairly massive operation. They will be nearly as big as the finished trucks and cannot roll on/ off the trucks on their own. Shipping rolls of stainless is much simpler.
- I’m pretty sure part of the Cybertruck secret sauce is in this process. I think there will be some process which will be evolutionary, similar to the way the gigapress is an evolution of the front and rear assemble of the trucks.
That last point is conjecture, but in general, I think Tesla is making the truck bodies in house. Just the shipping concerns are a pretty big deal.
