That's a very tidy design. It's organized extremely well unlike any other EV. Tesla engineers are really the best in their craft.😮
So, if I want to replace my cabin filter it's like a 4 hour process to remove the "frunk" and all the additional bits. Yeah, great engineering. Rivian is one easy removed panel and a cover plate. Neither need tools to remove.
Speaking of frunks, what do you put up there? Couple of Target bags full of stuff you don't mind spilling out? There's not even a cargo net to help with the TINY space of storage up there. Pulling from the previous video on the break down, only aluminum or aluminum combo metals for under the truck? For a truck you supposedly want to go off road? No option for any kind of upgraded skid plates? Sad. And speaking of off roading, can't install larger tires without some sort of really custom lift kit or hardware change kit to remove the exposed bolt ends?
This was a truck engineered by car makers who don't know anything about going off road. Not their fault. I blame Elon and unbeatable time-lines.
Also, rear wheel steering on an off-road truck? If so, you had better beef it up a LOT more than they did. Again, car makers making trucks.
@@azsean73 If you did just tried to finish video and listen carefully, you wouldn't be ignorant about the fact that it is accessible with having to remove all of that. There's a dedicated access in the middle of the "frunk".
@@azsean73 People who can afford Cybertruck doesn't go to Target like you. And may I remind you, there's a 6 foot bed in the back.
Please pay attention! dedicated panel already. Tesla hater without the nous to actually check facts - spare us all. @@azsean73
@@jaymarkkabo2626wtf cares!?
Everything's so tidy, compact, and easy to get at. Impressive!
It is easy to pull apart
@@TSportline i want to know if that rectangular box just above the front bumper camera is for the radar module or a washer fluid storage for the camera

@@azsean73 Did you even bother to watch the video, or do you just troll....
@@azsean73 The HEPA filter is accessible from that square panel in the frunk. watch more videos.
The frunk is narrow yes, due to the shape of the truck obviously. but you have ~9x more lockable storage that the rivian frunk in the vault since it has that tough tonneau cover.
I believe you can get skid plates already.
yeah larger tires will need to be pushed out due to the exposed bolts.
seems like a very good off-roader just not an extreme one.
rear wheel steering is a very nice addition to a massive truck like this. seems like you are looking for a truck purpose made for extreme off roading so best look somewhere else if you're looking to make that trade off.
Excellent work on locating those accessory wires in the front.
However, I’d love to see what’s under and behind the bed liner.
I agree as well, Let’s see under that bed liner! lol
Noted!
I'll love to see an offroad video! All that is utterly boring!
@@TSportline Can you guys please show what's under the headliner?
Watch the Sandy Monroe teardowns. He goes into more detail.
The Megabeam is referring to the entire assembly of the cross car member with all the HVAC and Battery attached to it.
very cool, name approved
I want to install an electric winch on the front of my Cybertruck. Can you show the structure behind the bumper and evaluate the possibility of winch installation. My square body GMC has a PTO winch stealth mounted behind the bumper; just the rollers stick out. Would love to do the same.
I think the only way to do that will be like how the Lightning was done to handle a plow attachment. Basically a custom bar that uses the front tow hook mount points to attach to the frame, on said custom bar you can have a front receiver, mount a winch, etc.
Power may be a problem. The 48V Aux was stated at 400W, which is about 1/4 the power needed for a 2,000 lb winch.
You'll only have 400w of power using the switched aux power. For the winch, you'll likely need to go direct to the battery.
@@TSportlineMight be able to tap off an AC outlet. Should be good for 1500W, maybe a bit more.
Would like to see you guys dissect the rear underbody that encases the tow hitch assembly. There's an extra few inches that is part of that underbody that decreases the departure angle of the Cybertruck and really wondering what that area is for. Thanks for all the teardown analysis videos so far!
Thanks for watching! Tune in again for the rear bumper detail - soon!
There has to be a "surprise" under that by the way people have avoided showing it for so long. Many have asked this same question.
Love the DIY stuff so much very grateful for the video. Please do more of these DIY’s about the cyber truck.
More to come! Thanks!
I would love to see what's going on under/insede the massive dashboard area. That volume must be used for something, right!?
It is massive!
Question: Are the rear seats easily removable? What is the largest rectangular box that fits in the cabin when the rear seats are removed? Thanks!
Agreed! I removed the rear seats in my old extended cab and could easily transport a hot water tank back there. In the CT, the rear seats should be attached to the back wall of the cab.
I saw another video showing the narrowest dimension with the rear seats up to be 21", while the larger dimension was around 30", The rear seats do not have a track, the seat is attached at the rear and swivels up. You could sleep on the floor with the seats in the up position.
Not by default and even still, you lost any kind of usability for people. Rivian has under seat storage (lockable) and a gear tunnel behind that. Oh, and a weight-bearing tailgate so you can put heavy stuff in the back for the full 7 feet of the bed. Sad
@@azsean73 Rivian has a pathetic 4.5ft bed. Lockable storage in the Cybertruck is far greater than that of the Rivian.
@@azsean73- I don't think the Rivian is sad. Rivian and Cybertruck are different market segments and I don't see a lot of overlap. Cybertruck has optional under-seat storage, but unlike the Rivian, you're not forced to use it. CT allows for larger items to to be towed in the back seat area. The tiny bed (54") in the Rivian R1T could be a problem for some, while the Cybertruck is a full 6 feet (72"). Lockable storage in the bed is also considerably larger in the CT. So each CT/R1T has a number of unique benefits. Get what works for you!
What's with the fluid trails running down the the left inner fender? Looks like something is leaking. Does the wiper motor have a gearbox that's seeping? Brake fluid? Or is it dry and some staining that was there before the truck was built?
The same fluid is leaking down the side of my truck when I use the wiper for a little bit. It's only a very small amount that leaks out of the corner of the A pillar stainless trim piece. At the joint of the stainless an ounce or so of this brown oil has run back the first two times I have driven in the rain and used the wiper. In the video it looks like it is coming from the wiper bellcrank gizmo and not the brake fluid reservoir. I'll disassemble mine and take a look.
What’s behind the panel right next to the front camera?
Can we show Olly some love for his hard work!
Olly is the man!
Loving the design for easy access and rainy day bench in the frunk
Drop a 48v to 120v inverter right in there. Maybe some of the tool companies like Milwaukee will make chargers that take 48v in.
48v, coming in hot!
A 120 outlet in the frunk should have been included and would be a great option!
Im still surprised that Tesla didn't put any 110 volts plug at the frunk. It would be nice to make a camp stove in the trunk for future accessories.
maybe there will be an aftermarket frunk liner that makes use of the power supply.
There's a 110v outlet in the center console, wouldn't take much wiring to chain one to the frunk. I bet there will be an aftermarket kit :)
@@BlazerRox I just think Tesla missed a opportunity to really make the front frunk more usable in my opinion, besides the Cybertruck is so delayed that you would think they would have learned something from both Ford and Rivian. Also no spare tire storage is a big negative. Both Rivian and Ford have spare tire.
That costs money. Elon doesn’t like that.
@@rj8u they have learned a lot since then have improved it a lot. there just isn't a lot they can do with that frunk.
making the storage under the bed deeper instead of being able to accommodate a tire tho is the one negative i have, i agree
The large labeled rectangular item is a liquid to liquid Flat Plate Heat Exchanger, I sometimes use them in house heating Hot water floor systems.
Mice, Rodent proof Interior ?? SW-Desert has this problem for vehicles ?
Does the 50 amp outlet in the bed work while in drive? Would be cool to power a camper & refrigerator during drives without needing the traditional battery/solar setup.
Yes, it does!
Yes, you can control the outlets from the screen. And leave them on while driving.
I‘m interested on the AC compressor in the front. Is it connected to the 800V battery and which manufacturer?
Good confirmation of stainless steel panel thickness. Munro Live has a video about the body panel production process with some more detail on dimensions and much more information about how the panels are formed and assembled.
I remember how much the model Y evolved since the first batch of cars came out of production line, The Cybertruck will be no different and it is already so well made ! Tesla keeps improving even what they have and what is great is that this company don’t have the ‘’Ah we have always done it this way’’ mentality
Tesla definitely has no problem blazing their own path!
I'd like to see a stainless Model 3. It might make sense to replace/repair battery packs if the car lasts 10+ years.
That would be cool!
Is there a way to use the power feed provided, and fish wire into the inside of vehicle for accessory lights?
So if you are connecting a winch, what do you use? You need some real amperage for that use case.
It's 48V it's a total wattage thing.
So, take the wattage of the winch and divide it by 48volts. That tells you how many amps it'll pull.
@@AvocadoAtrocity The total wattage is still only 400W, so this is not nearly enough for any sort of winch. My thinking is that this could do as power for the control box for a winch connected to the high voltage battery. You could send and receive commands to the winch via that CAN wire.
Of course this depends on there being available HV connections suitable for 3-10kW somewhere. A much greater teardown is needed.
Correct. You need some real power for a Warn 12k. It pulls about 320 amps for 12klbs so we are going to need some real connectivity for that. @@rlaxton666
@@rlaxton666the 48v is for the high powered vibrating butt plugs come standard to tesla fanboys
When you opened the door it looked like you didn’t have to push the button in at all . Is that correct ?
Release a video showcasing the disassembly of doorpanel :)
I intend to put in some individually controllable lights in this thing using the front auxiliary power. I bought a 48v to 12v step down for my controller. Any idea if just turning it off in the system will protect me from getting shocked. I intend to test it anyways but I am not used to car electronics.
What is the communication bus of the 48V battery? Is there a video with more information about it?
8:57 what sort of room is there for a self tailing winch? Could it be placed laterally below the frunck liner? (As in, fairlead on the left of the vehicle with line running internally across to a right side mounted drum & motor.)
I spy Rivian logo on T Sportline gear. Like it!
Ha ha, yes...check our our other site, EVSportline.com
Can you test a CB radio for functionality like noise in reception from wiper motor fan motors etc
"Hater?"...not so much, just a sincere comment on the content.
Im very interested on how the braking syetem works seeings theres regen braking and no vacuum line...Is the brake pressure fed by an electric motor and if a Tesla loss all power can you still stop it with the brake pedal as its free rolling?
Where did the 400 watts number come from? (400 watts) / (48 volts) = 8.3 amperes
Confirmed with Tesla, both auxiliary power taps are rated to 400watts. Both are protected with solid state circuits, if you exceed 400w, they shut off.
@@TSportline Thanks much for the follow up. That is a good nugget. Appreciate the informative videos!
@@TSportline BTW, there is some confusion about 400 W vs 2.3 kW because there are two places that mention 2.3 kW ?
a) the configurator source code stated "Two auxiliary power connections with 2.3 kw output"
b) ordering email had "Included Powershare outlets ... 6 bullet points then 7th says: -TWO AUXILIARY POWER CONNECTIONS WITH 2.3 KW OUTPUT"
@@Scott-sm9nmThe 110V outlets are 2.3 kW each...
@@HenryLoenwind I understand. However, it specifically is talking about the 'auxilliary' power. The 120v outlets are bullet pointed separately in the doc as well as on the Cybertruck screen.
Kudos to the owner that's allowing them to pull his brand new car apart. Frfr
Love the video
Thanks! We've had multiple customer trucks in so far, those we used for videos have been fully supportive. Also, when we apply a vinyl wrap, we take off the cladding, mirrors, etc so we can do a premium job.
Wow okay I'll definitely patronize yall whenever is my turn to get mine.
Thanks very informative 👍
Can’t wait to watch munro take it apart
Hey Tsportline. Did you notice anything that means its setup for an easy RHD swap ( calling from Australia ). Example would be is the wipermotor mounting interchangeable on the current casting?
The density of the packaging is very high, you can see that everything has been custom shaped so it fits in their like Tetris pieces.
Yes but all I'm reading from the media is how bad everything is, and everyone keep saying Tesla has bad build quality.
@@Fighter4Street they can ever get the panel gaps right exterior and even on interiors
Lol!!! What isn't packaged very well in other cars!? Wtf!
@@alanmay7929 I guess you never worked on a car before, you would know if you did.
For sure
Really want to see a 120v outlet in the frunk
That would we cool!
My cabin filter doesn't have screws
240 Volt AC winch?
well, that is an idea - from bed power
Can we get dimensions of 48V battery?
So it is possible to have a snow plow controlled by the Tesla screen.
Yes, if either a single switched supply line is enough to control it or the manufacturer also supplies a LIN-bus connection. (Or someone makes a universal LIN control box.)
Eh, not enough wattage to run a plow. 400w is good for lights. Not plows. You'd have to go direct to the 48v battery, or add auxiliary power.
Unlike the one on the roof, the power line in front is in a hard-to-reach place. What kind of accessory did Tesla design to create this power line?
They are thinking ahead for you ... and future accessories. Dumb comment.
Road sweeper attachments, snow plough attachments, cow bar lights, ...
Lighting for one...
Of that list, only lights are feasible with only 400 watts available,@@HenryLoenwind .
Where is the emergency release button for the truck bed in the back?
Right inside by the power ports
Next to the passenger ejection seat (only on the Bond edition).
@@TSportline Thank you!
Sound system, sub woofers?
That frunklid corner looks primed to enucleate an eyeball. Gotta be real careful around this truck.
Ha!
Does it get hot in the front storage? I would imagine there's quite a bit of heat being dissipated by all that ac gubbins
Good question, the cooling system is right below and behind, so likely yes will have heat issues
If you're buying ice cream at the grocery store, the frunk is going to conveniently melt it for you by the time you get home. 😅
400 series stainless is magnetic...I don't doubt that Tesla (or more likely a 1st tier) have played with the composition to make it more workable but it's still fundamentally an austenitic stainless with a refinement rather than a completely new invention.
Pretty confident this is along the lines of 300 series...
Very informative
Thanks guys!
still find the wiper blade funny. wonder why they designed it to stay upright position instead of tucked below the windshield
can't be "tucked below" the windshield as the hood sits flush with the windshield. its upright for drag purposes.
The wiper is crazy big
While it doesn't seem intutive, the smooth hood to windshield design reduces drag. The wiper on the side actually helps with airflow too.
@@a-don13
That's bad design, they could have designed the hood to accommodate it.
It's probably more aesthetics to show of the size.
@@Robert-cu9bm sure, people suggested that the back part of the hood raises up and stows away the wiper then sits flush again with the windshield, they even drew mockups of how that would work but Elon responded saying that that would be too complex and overengineering and i agree. there is nothing to show off
The "megabeam" mentioned @6:30 is presumably not the cooler, but instead the _location_ of the cooler (on a large cross-vehicle beam structure which Tesla is apparently calling the "megabeam").
Are there mountings to move the wiper blade and motor to the right hand side ? i.e. for Right Hand Drive countries (UK - etc)
Don't think so!
CPU details.. Amd Rizen what? Same as Model Y?
HW4 with Ryzen CPU - similar to the Model S/X/Y today. Not sure about the GPU, but likely the same as the Model S/X.
AMD Ryzen
you didn't show that the jump points were live with 48v like you said you would
They are live, we checked!
What was the potential on the two jumper ports? You mentioned it but, did not test them.
confirmed, 48v
I wonder if you can get signals to that green wire as an outside business 🤔 what would you dream up to use that for?
I had the same question - what does it take to get a control added to the OS/touchscreen for something like a winch? Other manufacturers like Ford add multiple free “auxiliary switches” for 12v accessories like lights - would be cool if Tesla added that to the touchscreen and let either the manufacturer label them via the BUS or allow the user to add a custom label.
The green wire is the Tesla LIN signal wire.
@@TSportline well yes but what are the possibilities for its use? What would you do if you could use it?
Think Arduino. It's a 19200 baud network with about 16 data frames of aux stuff. Buttons, light indicators, etc. Good for power window buttons, door locks, etc. You could probably use software to do anything you could think of. Say you added a unit in your frunk to fold up a large Christmas train set with a Christmas village, and you put that out on display once you got somewhere. Then you could write some code to address all the different parts of your display. Say tell the train to move forward, or backwards. Maybe turn on the tiny street lights, blow some fake snow around the village. Maybe create an auto pack up or auto setup feature to open the frunk and deploy your Christmas village. Then use your app to provide monitoring from the main control panel in the vehicle and see what everything is doing out front. Not that I would build such a thing, but it gives you an idea of what you can use it for. Control and monitor on a simple level. No video data, etc. I'm sure you'd have to use the WIFI for that.@@whitlockbr
For the 48v switched power leads under the frunk, is it still hot when the car is parked?
Yes.
Why no mention about the filter cover tabs breaking? You can clearly see all the tabs at 8:49 and only one left at 9:47, snapped middle one at 10:14, parts same happened on Hoovies Garage's
video where the snapped too just by touching them, that's poor quality plastic or poorly engineered tabs..
Does it use power steering fluid or all electronic? Didn't say if it had a power steering pump or fluid tank.
It won't have hydraulic steering assist - that went out of fashion about a decade ago. Steering will be by electric motors.
Is the lens dirty?
I think the light reflection was an issue
I like Vinfast's Wild pickup truck better💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
A fine design; if you are making money on repairs. To replace ANYTHING that is behind the frunk liner, its either pull the whole dashboard, or the whole motor and drive systems. All that for the future leaking hose. It like working on a modern gas car; change the head gasket SURE EASY! just pull off the front clip and pull out the entire engine. Even if I had the kopecks for one of these, I would not buy one. For my 'peasant class EV, a Niro, EVERYTHING is in the motor bay and easy to get to for repairs. Not even a mass plastic cover. True enow, the tech is impressive, the truck is not
7:05 The Giga Impaler
ha!
Curious what the wheel bolt pattern, factory offset, rim width and center bore diameter is. Looking for the lightest wheel I can find for drag racing applications. And the lightest high performance tire. While still being budget minded, lol.
I run a set of 19" forged Enkei's on my M3P that I bracket race.
CB seems like it’s going to be amazing for bracket racing based on the few videos so far showing multiple runs. Seems to get within a 10th run after run with no degradation in performance at all, and leaves the line super consistently.
Wheel specs are here tsportline.com/blogs/tesla-aftermarket-support/the-tesla-cybertruck-wheel-guide
Nice, good air to breath, might as well get a system to bring pure water in for drinking from the humidity in the air.
it is a big filter, for sure
is there any possible way to route a small shileded cable (small diameter) though the auxialiary light bar cable grommet? Basically I need to know if there is a way to route a rather thin antenna cable from inside of the cabin on the outside for telecommunication purposes such as HF/VHF/UFH applications. Many thanks.
The whole edge trim pulls off the roof, so yes
Thank you very much !
That was very interesting!
Thanks for watching
Surprised to hear the frunk skin inner structure was also stainless steel. I can’t wait to receive my 2025 RWD Cybertruck!!!
Yes!
The exterior stainless steel panels are welded to stamped stainless steel inner panels, just like any conventional unibody (but in stainless steel, rather than other steel or aluminum alloys).
Muno Live has a factory video about the body panel production.
For any suckers who think that this vehicle has a "stainless steel exoskeleton"... note that the construction revealed as soon as the front trunk linker is removed is a conventional unibody, with major inner structural components in aluminum (such as the large castings) and in non-stainless steel alloys. There's nothing wrong with that construction, but it's a reminder to ignore marketing nonsense... and everything that Elon Musk says is marketing nonsense.
Also, unlike most unibodies the front quarter panels (or "fenders") do not appear to be bolt-on, so collision repair costs will be increased.
I wonder if the design prevents rodents from entering. My CRV '16 constantly has issues with them coming into the engine air filter and cabin filter and stinking up the system lol.
Also is the frunk liner temp insulated to keep items from getting hot from the cooling system? Or no noticeable temperature shifts from usage of the HVAC on the road?
Reason why is because I have powertools and like to keep my batteries away from extreme temperature variations from what is outdoors.
Good question!
Great video!😊
Thank you!
Take the bumper, liners, headlights, impact bars front and rear off so we can see the structural crash safety stuff. Go nuts on it
Ha ha, we'll see what we can do!
biggest question I have is where will a winch go, and is that 400w enough to power one being the wiper blade takes 600w....
400w wont do much for a winch; plan for another power source on a winch...maybe plug into the power in the bed
Dont charge those golf cart batteries indoors ! 🔥
How easy is it to get to the radiator stack that has to be cleaned periodically? I've seen videos of people doing that in other models and it looks like a nightmare.
It isn't hard to get to!
Nice wheels
Well, thank you!
Haters will say.... WHO CARES WHAT THEY SAY IT'S CYBERTRUCK!
Ha ha
Thanks for the video. That was very informative.
Are the black bumpers made of plastic? I would want to replace those with steel. I suppose the aux power could be used for a winch?
Winches seem to use way more than 400 watts - so it can't be used for a winch. Maybe it could charge a battery used for the winch?
I hope they add more aux power in the future, electrical outlets in the frunk, and programmable buttons for the UI.
Thanks, yes, plastic on both bumpers. We will make steel bumpers at T Sportline
@@pierre.a.larsen - Yep. A quick look shows several 2,000 lb winches requireding 1.5KW (at 12v). Perhaps 48v winch would be a bit more efficient, but 400W doesn't seem to be close.
Appreciate your work guys and the explanation that goes along with your discoveries.
Thanks for watching!
6:16 those are really accessible
yes
Of course it is easier to get to than previous models, iteration is the name of their game!
yes
Where’s that whistle diesel kid at for this?
That will be a good one!
Its definitely better looking with the front trunk open. Just dont catch you're elbows on the razer sharp pointed wingblades😅.
Ha!
Fascinating AF
Is galvanic corrosion with all the steel brackets etc going to be an issue?
Good question for sure, going to take some time to see. But the non-stainless and aluminum parts are coated.
Unlikely. Tesla has been doing it for 10+ years now (Model S) and there have not been any corrosion problems. It does require careful design, but it's done all the time in the industry.
The non stainless parts are painted before assembly to avoid galvanic corrosion
the guy in the red is for sure the store owner and never touches the cars
Ha ha you’re partially right about ownership but far from right about how much he touches - you’d be surprised what all he does 😂
Is it a hvac pump or heat pump ?
The HVAC system uses a heat pump.
less disassembling and more going off-road.😊👍
Love that plan!
Wow amazing how it build
It is cool
I just don't see why they hid that power wire in the frunk. Just make it an outlet in the frunk with an awesome cover that you can plug things into instead. I see the frunk "light" hasn't gotten any brighter.😂
You can switch to auxiliary power like Captain Kirk !
Yes!
Isn't the frame of the hood aluminum?
No, it is stainless steel. Same as for the doors.
Stainless
You guys are going to sell a ton of those steelies. They look great.
Thanks, they are cool!
Where is the 48V low voltage battery?
center of truck, right in front of windshield
@@TSportline huh, is it in the video?
Are these headlights matrix leds? Looks like you can access them with what you took apart.
Can you get to the 48v accessory wires via the access port?
Quite frankly, what would you do with 48 volts? Almost nothing runs on it except Tesla stuff.
@@Greatdome99 48 volt is the standard for off grid power. you can easily find a 120 volt ac inverter for 48 volt, the problem is that the 400 watts is very limiting...might be enough for a low end dewalt 20v lithium battery charger
@@alainspecteur1At that point, it'd make more sense to connect to the 110 or 220 V outlets. Running a cable from the centre console outlet to the frunk shouldn't be too much of a hassle. The 48V connection is more suited for controlling attachments that are mounted to the truck.
Not really, only if you extend the wires - then, yes.
Would that 48 volt power a wench, is there an attachment area for a wench system?
No, that power line in the frunk has 1/10 the power required for a winch. 😢
Yeah 400 watts won't cut it
You have 400w to power whatever you can
Good info, thanks for the upload. I don't think the frunk ribs on the inside are stainless. Stainless could not be formed into the rounded rib shape. It's standard sheet metal.
So, if I want to replace my cabin filter it's like a 4 hour process to remove the "frunk" and all the additional bits. Yeah, great engineering. Rivian is one easy removed panel and a cover plate. Neither need tools to remove.
Speaking of frunks, what do you put up there? Couple of Target bags full of stuff you don't mind spilling out? There's not even a cargo net to help with the TINY space of storage up there. Pulling from the previous video on the break down, only aluminum or aluminum combo metals for under the truck? For a truck you supposedly want to go off road? No option for any kind of upgraded skid plates? Sad. And speaking of off roading, can't install larger tires without some sort of really custom lift kit or hardware change kit to remove the exposed bolt ends?
This was a truck engineered by car makers who don't know anything about going off road. Not their fault. I blame Elon and unbeatable time-lines.
Also, rear wheel steering on an off-road truck? If so, you had better beef it up a LOT more than they did. Again, car makers making trucks.
Dont forget the 48v auxiliary lol how many useful 48v accessorys are on the market........ things a joke@azsean73
It is stainless steel and it can be formed, it's thinner and not hardened like the exterior panels.
Thanks, yes - they are thin wall stainless
You have been hoodwinked into thinking stainless can't be formed by Tesla.
300 series can be easily formed, just look at the world around you. IE your kitchen, laundry etc
