During 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).<p>He was also hitting the standard truck door or on a angle with edge of sledge hammer.<p>Where as he hit the tesla truck flat on with lower force...<p>.<p>Understand the single body design from a manufacturing and structure standpoint.<p>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.<p>And what if my truck load damaged the bed, now gotta get a new body?<p>Are the just going to weld me back together?

Gurgel was a visionary, he was beyond his time.
