Somebody PLEASE tell me how THICK the STEEL is!

If it stops 45 caliber bullets do you really care how thick it is? They said in at least one video in the last 24 hours that the stainless steel is providing a huge percentage of the flexural regidity, so it isn't just tough against banging and bullets but is providing meaningful structural stiffness.

Elon claims CT has greater stiffness than a McLaren P1

The Cybertruck's stainless steel is so thicc, it scoffs at regular cars and their flimsy attempts at being tough. It's the OG of vehicular arrogance, rolling down the road with a "You call that sturdy?" attitude.

The Top Gear video is where they talked about the rigidity the stainless provides.

Even the doors do not require intrusion bars.....Bring on the EXOSKELETON discussion.

Just take some change and PUT IT NEXT TO THE STEEL.
I don't need a micrometer.
SOMEBODY PLEASE!

you find the measurement of 3mm less accurate than '2 quarters' ???

One the the reviews says it's at most 1.8 mm

In official Tesla video a Tesla engineer said "UP TO 1.8mm" thick hard stainless steel.
So significantly less than 3mm and there must be some places it is less than 1.8mm thick.

More info at Cybertruck Owners Club thread:

Not 3mm. Only UP TO 1.8mm stainless but still stop bullets .45-cal Tommy gun, Special Forces 9mm MP5 machine pistol

firsttruck, Thank You Very Much. That is all I wanted to know.

So it's very slightly thicker than a quarter, and not the same everywhere.

Thick enough to take kicks



Sorry, wish I had an answer for your actual question.

cool Raptor R in the background. Would be crazy if maybe there was some racing involved ?
