      Doubt it. No one builds cars like this and its on purpose. Steel this thick is heavy, costs more and has no benefit at all.

      It’s not a genius move to make steel thick. There isn’t anything special about the metal they are using ,

      Nobody wants to replicate or compete against the Cybertruck directly, but it is the first production car to implement several key technologies like steer by wire a 48v low voltage system rather than traditional 12v one. Tesla has had a lot longer to develop these than the competition, but ultimately Elon’s stupid design and love affair with Trump mean Tesla won’t succeed commercially from these innovations.
