I think we're all sure that the designers thought about crumple zones.

And I think we're all pretty sure that Elon overrode those designers and demanded a design and materials that wouldn't crumple.

Which makes no sense considering the crash test ratings on Tesla's cars are the best in the industry. Tesla has an extremely good history of designing safe cars.

There's a big difference to "stands up to parking lot car doors and shopping carts" and assuming that it doesn't crumple in a collision with another vehicle.
