Musk Defends Cybertruck’s Polarizing Design
Musk wrote on X that “only when you drive the Cybertruck do you realize how incredible it is,” calling the vehicle “a bulletproof tank that moves like a million-dollar sports car.” He said the truck’s angular shape was not just styling but also a manufacturing constraint tied to its thick stainless-steel body panels.
The Tesla CEO argued that the Cybertruck’s ultra-hard stainless steel panels cannot be stamped like the “thin, feeble” steel used on traditional trucks, saying they would break 5,000-ton stamping machines. Tesla has long marketed the Cybertruck around its exoskeleton-style body, though the model’s sharp design has also drawn criticism since its launch.
