Completely flat steel's gonna ding like a bitch and it'll never come out. You'll need an entire new sheet to replace it if you want it to look right.
That said, it will never look right since it's not being built with thermal expansion in mind.
It‘ll also slice really nicely through pedestrians. I don’t see this being allowed in most EU countries.
The US laws on bumpers has been refined in blood over the years. At least 20% of the people I know in my area have damaged their car by hitting a deer.
How will this truck fare if hitting a 90 kg deer? It's different enough that it might be substantially different (better or worse) than a more conventional truck.
I'm also reminded of a famous car made of paneled stainless steel. It was a terrible car and ruined the company that made it. It's only remembered fondly because of a popular movie series.
Well if you're going to make a time machine out of a car, why not do it with some STYLE
Doc Brown was secretly a coke head, and DeLorean was his dealer. He threw the car in for free when he delivered the last couple kilos to Doc.
How do you think he got matched up with the Libyans? It's not everyday you get offered to help smuggle nuclear material...
and yet, each new generation of vehicles has less and less of an actual bumper, meanwhile the cost to replace basic shit like headlight housings have skyrocketed. I live in deer country too, and you have to add your own aftermarket bumper if you want any real protection.
From the sound of it you'd be lucky to get it off the lot /s
Fr tho I bet it'd cut the deer in half. Then again it's kinda huge, so maybe it would just ramp up on top of the deer and launch itself.
I assume it's also crazy fast like most Teslas, so maybe it would just pink mist the poor animal.
I think the truck would be totaled regardless, only real question is if the driver survives and if it catches on fire
You could Bondo and paint the entire thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But nothing will ever make it look good
