Hyundai, Ford, Toyota, Volvo...a list is getting very long. When you make a unibody you are either welding or bonding together over 100 parts, then there's all the robots & other work involved. A Giga Press reduces that down to two castings and one structural battery pack. Takes about 3 minutes to make each casting for a Tesla Model Y, and they have several machines. * Not Tesla's term, the company that builds the machine named it.

Reading several reports on this incident, it sounds like he drove through some deep water. People do that a lot in Michigan too, with similar results. Guy drives the car through water, floods the battery, and it stops working, Unlike the Cybertruck, most electric vehicles do not have the option to pressurize the battery to keep out water.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted May 28 Global Moderator Share Posted May 28 Bleeding edge! Quote Tesla Cybertruck Owner Goes To ER After Being Sliced During Delivery Anyone who has ever excitedly awaited the delivery of a new car can relate to Tesla Cybertruck Owners Club forum member bdesign. Four years ago, he placed his initial reservation for one of the stainless-steel electric pickups. Then, earlier this year, he received an invitation to place his final order. He would finally be taking home the new truck that would replace his V8-powered Chevy Silverado Trail Boss. Little did he know that the new Tesla would later send him to the emergency room. //// When the delivery day finally came, it didn't go quite the way he hoped, to put it gently. The truck had several visual blemishes and build quality issues. It was clear that the service center team did not properly prep the vehicle. In a forum post just after taking delivery, he described the truck as being in "sloppy, sloppy condition at delivery." The dent got his attention the most. He ran his finger across this damaged area to see if it was indeed a dent or perhaps some kind of residue. As he was rubbing the damaged area of the panel, he felt a sudden sharp pain and jerked his hand away. Due to the angle of his arm, he apparently slit his wrist open on the extremely sharp corner where the side panels and the tailgate meet. // InsideEVs Cybertruck Forum +primortal, +hedleigh, FloatingFatMan and 2 others 5 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1389505-tesla-cybertruck/page/19/#findComment-598905545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
