This is a lesson that we already learned a while back.

We used to make cars that were tough, but then we noticed that people were dying way too easily when they hit a tree or a wall.

In an indestructible car, all of the forces of a crash are directly applied to the people inside of a car. You might as well have have been riding a motorcyle when you crashed. They would need some advanced harness system that gives a little on impact without letting you hit the steering wheel or center console… there’s not a whole lot of space for that.

In the cars of today, the car is meant to crumple in a way that absorbs as much of an impact as possible while trying to keep the occupants alive.

If the cybertruck is too stiff, even a collision at a slow speed will kill or severely injure the occupants.
