Gonna be real fun to see the crash test rating.

Without crumple zones, all of the kinetic energy goes into the occupants.

Seriously, having been hit by a fairly rounded Impreza at low speed that still did significant damage, I'm shivering at the thought of what these edges would do to soft tissue and bone in the same conditions. The pressure at the contact points would be dramatically higher.

That is what you get when you slack on pedestrian safety. This a regulations problem, not a Tesla problem.

However, under the federal government’s current safety rating system, known as the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), almost every vehicle gets a four- or five-star rating. That’s because the system only takes into account the safety of those within cars, not all the people walking, pushing strollers, biking, or taking transit outside them.

could hurt pedestrians and cyclists

I dare you to convince me that anyone still buying Tesla would not see that as a benefit. That's going to be the number one selling point of this thing after articles like this make their rounds.

"Raises"?

That was a concern the day it was unveiled years ago

It looks exactly like a 'rad car' that I doodled in my social studies notebook after slamming two bottles of Robitussin.

That front trunk just looks like a guillotine

Again, this whole thing smacks of some entitled person (hmmm, who though?) who knows nothing, making design decisions that are stupid and self indulgent.

I call it “The Homer”, just like the episode where Homer designed a car. You know the result…

I don't like Teslas, Musk or the cyber truck but it can't be any more dangerous than the 4 ft wall of radiator traditional pickups have now. Not saying this isn't a concern but I am way more concerned about the millions of pedestrian crushing rolling walls already on the road.

Safety concerns...who would have thought? This cannot be an actual recent concern. Everybody could see the safety issues from the day it was unveiled...

Good thing safety regulation is the reason why we hopefully will not see this monstrosity on EU roads.

Who would buy this piece of crap? Like really?

"Hey, I know you're disappointed by the lack of Autopilot™, but look on the bright side, every Cybertruck comes standard with our patented Child Buster™ technology to cast those little shits into the depths hell where they belong!"

I hope this monstrosity will never be approved in Europe. Imagine the impact passengers of a Twingo or any other small city cat will experience in the unfortunate case of a head collision

If you ever felt like your truck didn't look and drive enough like a prep counter, Elon Musk has got your back.

Here we go again, trying to shame a narcissist out of doing the thing he was doing to get you to react by shaming him.

Pretty easy to solve. Just pay those experts to stfu. Shouldn't be a problem for musk

How long till these things are all sitting in random scrappers in the Mojave?
