This is quite the "take". But it's also directly contradicted by how Tesla designed the Cybertruck: with thick stainless steel body panels that weigh a ton compared to typical body panels used in cars. This was justified/marketed with the claim that these are bullet-proof - something that is far less relevant to the average driver than hitting a pothole or a curb.

So is the Cybertruck the exception to Tesla's design philosophy for some reason?
