The Tesla’s have unibody construction. The frame comes out of a casting machine in two pieces. So, if part of the frame gets bent, you can not just cut off the rear and weld or bolt on a new section. Plus they are made out of aluminum alloy. Not steel.

The cyber truck is supposed to be cast out of one machine. The whole frame and cab. One big piece of aluminum alloy from front to back.

“The Tesla’s have unibody construction. “

Funny, because their bodies all look like blow-molded plastic.

Figured the used a company that made lawn furniture.
