  • Yeah.

  • Part of this is the fundamental design change.

  • We moved the mass to the outside.

  • We created an exoskeleton.

  • So normally the way that a truck is designed, you have a body on frame, you have a bed on frame, and the body and the bed don't do anything useful.

  • They're carried like cargo, like a sack of potatoes.

  • It was the way that aircraft used to be designed, when they had biplanes, basically.

  • The key to creating an effective monoplane was a stressed skin design.

  • You move the stress to the outside skin.

  • It allows you to do things that you can't do with a body on frame.

  • So we're able to make the skin out of thick, ultra-hard stainless steel.

  • It's really hard.

  • I'm going to show you just how hard.

  • So Franz has a sledgehammer.

  • Yeah, don't hold back.

  • Okay.

  • Yeah.

  • It's a regular truck door.

  • You want me to do this?

  • Do it.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • Hit it a couple of times.

  • You want to hit it again?

  • All right.

  • Yeah.

  • Nice.

  • Now hit the Cybertruck.

  • Same thing.

  • Hit it harder.

  • Yeah.

  • Really wind up.

  • Nail that.

  • Yeah.

  • It's pretty strong.

  • Very strong.

  • So if you think about a truck, you want a truck that's tough.

  • You want a truck that's really tough, not fake tough.

  • You want a truck that can take a sledgehammer too.

  • A truck that won't shoot it.

  • Let's shoot it.

  • OSHA.

  • I mean, come on.

  • So that's a 9mm bullet shot at the door.

  • Shoot it.

  • We're in California, unfortunately.

  • But the 9mm, it is literally bulletproof to a 9mm handgun.

  • That's how strong the skin is.

  • So it's ultra-hard, cold-rolled stainless steel alloy that we've developed.

  • We're going to be using the same alloy in the Starship Rocket and in the Yeah, you're welcome.

  • So on the right, that's like normal truck doors might as well be made of tissue paper.

  • That looks like a paintball.

  • Very different.

  • So, you know, when you say something's built tough, that's what we mean.

Yeah.
