00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:02.580
- Stainless steel is a wonder material.

2
00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:05.190
It's strong, it's corrosion resistant,

3
00:00:05.190 --> 00:00:07.800
and it looks cool as
hell, but there's a reason

4
00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:10.260
why only one car in history has been made

5
00:00:10.260 --> 00:00:11.250
out of this material.

6
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:12.600
I'm talking about the DeLorean.

7
00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:15.870
Stainless steel is made
of expensive ingredients

8
00:00:15.870 --> 00:00:18.660
like chromium and nickel,
that drives up the price

9
00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:20.940
of every square inch of material.

10
00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:23.310
It's also a pain in the ass to work with,

11
00:00:23.310 --> 00:00:26.220
when you try to mold
stainless steel into a shape,

12
00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:27.900
it bounces right back.

13
00:00:27.900 --> 00:00:31.410
An unpainted stainless steel
body is also super susceptible

14
00:00:31.410 --> 00:00:33.060
to scrapes and marks.

15
00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:35.070
It's gonna start looking like garbage.

16
00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:36.540
Here's the worst thing though,

17
00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:40.530
stainless steel is too strong
to make a car body out of it.

18
00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:42.630
It's not gonna crumple in a crash,

19
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:44.700
it's not gonna absorb that impact,

20
00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:46.890
it's gonna transfer all of that force

21
00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:48.570
to the human beings inside.

22
00:00:48.570 --> 00:00:49.800
That's dangerous.

23
00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:51.780
Of course, this all could be moot,

24
00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:54.570
Elon Musk introduced
the cyber truck in 2019,

25
00:00:54.570 --> 00:00:57.810
and now he's saying we won't
even see it until 2024,

26
00:00:57.810 --> 00:00:59.640
it's been delayed a lot.

27
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:01.560
So who knows what it's
gonna be made out of

28
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.210
when it finally shows up.

29
00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:06.093
