I'd been following this guy on his 3D printer videos, now I have discovered his CyberTruck content.

The Tesla CyberTruck Is So Much Better Than I Originally Thought!

The first 10 minutes is on the structural shell, then on to 'it drives itself!'. The thing [I believe] he misses is that the inside of the four wheelwells are same as the outer shell, not the stamped inner pieces. Making each corner a monocoque box.

I may be wrong about that, but I don't care — I based my CyberHaus design on the principle.

youtu.be/4TQH_Fv4inU?t=1154. He decides that it will have independent suspension and not the solid axle he thinks a truck requires. Apparently not aware that Rover figured out in the 60s or 70s to put a slip joint in their De Dion axle so they could leave them out of the axle shafts.
