Yep, they wrote him [Elon] off as a dreamer! He wants to do things that can't be done. Hahaha, look at his truck. He wanted to come up with something outside-the-box. So he designed a triangle.

"The triangle is the strongest to as it holds it shape and has a base which is very strong a also has a strong support. The triangle is common in all sorts of building supports and trusses. The overall shape of many bridges is in the shape of a catenary curve. It is strong because the three legs of a triangle define one and only one triangle. If all three sides are made of rigid material, the angles are fixed and cannot get larger or smaller without breaking at the joints, unlike a rectangle [or box], for example, which can turn into a parallelogram and even collapse totally. If you take a rectangle and place one diagonal piece from corner to corner, you can make that strong and stable, too, but doing that makes two triangles!! Think about it! so yes, it is the strongest shape "

This is why the triangle is special in the Cybertruck.
