I was thinking about how difficult it might be to repair a cyber truck and I don't think it would crazy be since the strength of the vehicle is from the exoskeleton and they're all relatively flat without curves.

So imagine:
  • Dent - just bend it back
  • Hole - Patch it with another piece piece of stainless and either weld, rivet, or replace the panel.
  • Crumple - same as a hole or a dent unless it takes too large of an area where it significantly weakens the exoskeleton then its a total like any other uni body vehicle.
Given that, I don't think there are that many body shops familiar in working with stainless steel so it might be high costs at first compared with directly getting repairs from Tesla which may be cheaper.


Let me know what you guys think and how far off base am I?
