I'm looking to make some custom Cybertruck accessories and other things from steel and want to try and get steel that closely resembles the truck. I know Tesla created their own proprietary steel to make the Cybertruck, but do any of you know what would be the closest in terms of looks? 304?

I think some proprietary steel: 305, modified? I recall someone on the interweb analyzed this, will check and post if I find anything credible.

I monitored a huge steel manufacturing facility in its build stage (now operational) in Sinton, Texas. Steel Dynamics. Too close to SpaceX and Tesla Austin to be a coincidence, IMHO.

Interweb is full of disclaimers and various bs, but it MAY be that Steel Dynamics is a (the?) supplier for CT and perhaps SpaceX. I haven't yet found a credible source to verify this. Anybody have something more definitive?

Maybe one of the crashed Cybertrucks which will be scrapped could give or sell you a usable piece of steel? I would like to get my hands on a small 12x12 sheet myself for testing.
