Yeah that's due stainless steel springiness, makes it complicated to get pressed into the desired shape, it always bounces back a little bit.

Modern cars intentionally crush badly to reduce the G forces... But look how harsh a crash is!

You mean like this?



The Cybertruck looks more like this result (FF to 0:46)

DavidAlfa:
That comparation makes no sense.

No?  The first shows a vehicle doing a lot of crumpling and absorbing a lot of energy so that there is almost no rebound.  The second one of the XC90 shows a lot less crumpling and a lot of rebound, just like the Cybertruck.  One of the two vehicles has an exemplary safety record and excellent crash test ratings--guess which one?  If you think the Ford comparison is unfair or irrelevant, just ignore it--I know it's a different test, I was just looking for an example of too much crumpling being obviously counterproductive.  Tell me what differences you see between the general crash appearance of the Tesla and the Volvo.

Here's a video of a full-frontal crash demonstrating 'too much' crumple zone.

It's matter of fact that 2000s cars performed awfully.
Also, full frontal crash is the least of the problems, it's the partial collision what makes things really messy (Usual deadly crash when you step into the opposite lane), concentrating all the force in a small area.
(Which is happening to that 2001 truck, not in the Volvo, so not a fair comparison).
European test does exactly that:
