Tesla has already made some pretty big claims about the Cybertruck, the biggest being that its stainless steel body is “bullet-resistant.” Now Elon Musk is saying that the Cybertruck is stiffer than a McLaren P1 \u2013 and that it can\u2019t roll over.<\/p>\n
During the delivery event in Austin, Musk said the Cyberruck is a “better truck than a truck, while also being a better sports car than a sports car.” To justify that, he claims that the torsional rigidity is greater than that of a P1 hypercar. Some of that stiffness could be contributed to the stainless steel panels, but Musk didn\u2019t have any official numbers or details on the chassis to back up these claims.<\/p>\n
It should be noted that the McLaren P1 debuted in 2012, which makes the now-discontinued hypercar more than a decade old. And the concept of torsional rigidity improves constnatly as material and production methods also improve. Many sports cars boast high-percentage gains in torsional rigidity every few years. <\/p>\n
And as far as not being able to tip over; it’s unclear exactly how true that is (or how it’s even measured). But Musk says thanks to the Cybertruck\u2019s extremely low center of gravity \u2013 much like the Model S \u2013 and wide stance, it\u2019s unlikely to flip over even in a crash.<\/p>\n
We’ll have more details on the Cybertruck as they come out.<\/p>\n
