Forum idea: Roadster CGT plumbing as side-intrusion beam
Unconfirmed: a Reddit user suggests that the tubing in the Roadster's CGT line could also serve as a side-intrusion beam, if it is made of steel or titanium. The author admits not knowing the material used and says that bringing this version to the road may not be feasible. The post includes an image that the text does not describe, and offers no strength figures, weight data or engineering validation. This is community discussion, with no official backing from Tesla.
- The author does not know the material; suggests steel or titanium as possibilities
- Proposed dual function: side-intrusion beam and Roadster CGT line
🔎 Why it matters: Unconfirmed: this is a proposal from a Reddit user who assumes the Roadster's CGT tubing could be steel or titanium and serve as a side-intrusion beam.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: The author himself says bringing this version to the road may be unrealistic, and there is no data on the material or engineering tests.
