I can't think of a vehicle that is more likely to be a risk to others than the Cybertruck.

A Hummer for sure.

Also most pickup trucks when you consider frontal visibility. I mean there are just an endless number of ways to measure and weigh safety.

The H1 was basically a civilian tank. The H3 on the other hand was a reskinned Chevy TrailBlazer and fell apart just as easily as one.

I think they're talking about the new Hummer EV.
