- sergers 7y agoDuring the press, the stage actor was hitting the tesla truck with the sledge hammer lighter(wind up bigger for show to make it seem harder). He was also hitting the standard truck door or on a angle with edge of sledge hammer. Where as he hit the tesla truck flat on with lower force... . Understand the single body design from a manufacturing and structure standpoint. But vehicles get in accidents, get bumps. Now what's the cost of replacing the whole body due to damage vs a fender on a standard vehicle. And what if my truck load damaged the bed, now gotta get a new body? Are the just going to weld me back together?
