Not accurate the Range Rover is not a true monocoque it’s a traditional unibody and their marketing has slightly abused the term referring to a monocoque frame the Cybertruck is a Monocoque vehicle. The Ranger River is a unibody monocoque frame meaning specifically the unibody is one piece that bears the forces of the vehicle. Body panels then bolt on to that frame. The Cybertruck is a true monocoque as the body panels and the frame are one thing, not a one piece frame that body panels bolt to, there’s no unibody involved in the cybertruck.Yes it is. Just as much as Range Rovers “monocoque” is also unibody.
notes
no currently sold vehicle is a true monocoque. unibody vehicles can be considered semi-monocoque but to be true monocoque they need to be free of things like box sections, bulkheads, etc ( I’m looking at you torque boxes) Despite this unibody frames are often incorrectly referred to as monocoque in the automotive industry this is 100% incorrect even in the case of the Range Rover
tldr
Range Rover : semi-monocoque unibody frame. Body panels on top
Cybertruck: true monocoque vehicle no unibody as the body panels are part of the monocoque
