Because unless they have been outright lying in all of their specs, the entire body is made up of the same thick stainless steel that they have shown to be literally bulletproof.

Bulletproof steel can still crumple. And it does. It's not made of adamantium. It's a completely different type of force. The vehicle was crash-tested a long time ago. Just look at the photos.

What photos?

I'm not sure you should be talking about others sharing disinformation when the crash tests were only released 8 days ago.

I'm not sure you should be talking at all considering you don't seem to realize you can actually store footage from events that took place at an earlier date 🙄

So when you said:

The vehicle was crash-tested a long time ago. Just look at the photos.

You meant "just look at the video that was released a little over a week ago?" Because it sure didn't look like that's what you meant.

No, I meant exactly what I said. I'm not sure what part of that is confusing you.
