minus-squareBigoldmustard@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up13·5 months agoWhat I haven’t seen mentioned is that the structure of the vehicle depends on the integrity of the exterior, if Tesla’s own marketing was true. So, if it rusts easily, isn’t it more likely to be structurally unstable during impact?
