Before we delve into the specifics of the Cybertrucks exoskeleton that support this belief, we should establish what geomagnetic induced currents are and that they are one of the potential sources of interference during enhanced geomagnetic activity.
Essentially, when the earths geomagnetic field is disturbed sufficiently, it causes currents to run in the earths soil. As these current flow they emit magnetic fields. Those fields interact with conductive materials on and in the earth. That's when GICs arise. The magnetic fields from the earth's surface interact with surrounding magnetic fields and conductive surfaces (most commonly discussed are the electric grid and pipelines) sending electrons moving. In pipelines, these currents increase corrosion, reduce pipeline lifespan, and increase failure rates. In the electrical grid it generally causes transformers to overheat and fail. It's this interaction I believe is the primary source of interference in Teslas causing numerous glitches in multiple systems culminating in worst case scenarios of causing the Tesla to go out of control and/or spontaneous combust.
What then is the best material to shield these low frequency quasi DC electromagnetic fields? Lets examine 3 main properties best seem to aid this: Material, carbon content, & permeability.
1. Material
2. Carbon Content
3. Permeability
Conclusion:low carbon ferromagnetic steel
Now lets determine what the Cybertrucks exoskeleton is made of to see if it's a low carbon ferromagnetic steel.
What is 304L?
1. Steel - check
2. Low Carbon - check
3. Permeability - uncheck
Probably the most important feature for shielding against quasi low frequency DC EMI is not provided by austenite steels which are a paramagnetic steel more than ferromagnetic. Case closed right? What about the fact Tesla is cold working the steel, what does that do?
Impact of Cold Working Stainless Steel
There you have it folks. Cold working 304L (30X) steels causes them to convert to martensite which changes the stainless steel from a paramagnetic material to a ferromagnetic one with high permeability needed for attenuating low frequency EMI. Also of note, tweaking the chromium and nickel levels can enhance this further. Remember what Elon said, they're tweaking with the formulation so that 304L is an approximation. Check!
Conclusion
The fact that Tesla has chosen a very low carbon steel, is cold working, and tweaking the formula, means its creating close to the best low frequency EMI shielding material (which is why its being used on the starship as well).
Then shaping the steel in the fashion it is, like a shell, will allow the magnetic fields to flow along the exterior successfully shielding the interior. The flat planar panels should work to reflect some EM energy like the stealth fighters do.
The "Cybertruck Shell"
What might that look like?

If Tesla really believes the Cybertrucks exoskeleton will provide EMI shileding, shouldnt it want to use the material on its other vehicles as well?
Discussion:
As you can see, the facts support that Tesla knows electromagnetic interference is causing problems in its vehicles and it has a plan to combat it starting with the Cybertruck. Either that or its found a solution for a problem that doesn't exist, which seems unlikely. Unfortunately every current and future owner of the current iterations of any of the S3XY models are put at risk as well as the general public. That is not acceptable!

We’re rapidly changing alloy constituents & forming methods, so traditional names like 304L will become more of an approximation

Could it be that there is a strategy to distract people away from looking at the basic data?
Is all this an exercise to create more and more forum verbiage to drown out any serious discussion of evidence?
