Do you think trucks/cars made out of aluminum are as sturdy as steel cars?

[NoDecision]

What do you think? Would you want one?

Hell no!

Hell ya!

What is a Tesla? I think this was its prototype.

[Likestorizz]

Probably not but are lighter , I'm also glad their are other lighter stronger material s. I'm not surprised that Ford ripped up like that. I was also shocked when I've discovered they were using plastic oil pans on the supercharged f150 I don't think that s going to be reliable.

[NoDecision]

Plastic and "hot" don't work well together.

[Likestorizz]

Not at all😅

[NathanDavis]

the material is just one of a few factors involved on the physics of destination fucked...

You do know there is no such thing as military grade aluminum don't you.

[NoDecision]

There isn't? I would think that the aluminum they use in aircraft would be tougher.

[douride2]

That military grade was made up by Ford advertising.

[NoDecision]

Ford? As in Fake Off Road Dud?

[douride2]

Yep thats the guy

[Anonymous]

Better than Teslas, all plastic, and superglue.

[Surely]

Never seen one that was in a crash. But was told by a body shop. That where the aluminum touches the steel. It is gonna corrode! The two metals don’t like touching each other.

[NoDecision]

Agreed.

[NoDecision]

I know that happens with cooper/steel pipes. I didn't think aluminum would corrode.

[DryGermanGuy]

They always were. The Audi A8/S8 has been made out of aluminium since 1994 and people have no complaints. If you or your opposing crash driver is fast enough you can even rip apart a tank.

Nothing wrong with it as long as your the only one on the road

[Wiredone]

Aluminum will fold up too easily like a fiberglass car will crumble

[Bklynbadboy12]

No steel is stronger aluminum is weaker and more pliable

[TheSpaceGnome]

Both are deathtraps.

[jahaims]

They factually aren't

[Anonymous]

No, aluminum is not as strong as steel.
