The structural panels never happened. That idea was shitcanned when they dropped the exoskeleton design for a unibody. Now the extra heavy panels are a stupid vestige of a design that never came to fruition. The truck is a damned unibody auto structure, hardly worthy of being called a truck, much closer to a Hyundai Santa Fe than a Ford F-150 and worse for having to carry all those heavy bolt on panels that do absolutely nothing for the truck functionality of the vehicle.
It sounds like a few software projects I've worked on. Incorrect base assumptions and not swapping out the components that were made unwieldy by those assumptions not reflecting reality.
Seeing your other comments you seem to be a passionate cybertruck hater.
Did you actually drove one or seen reviews?
My impression from reviews was screaming "WANT". This is one of the most advanced car, not just truck on the market. There's literally nothing like it out there.
