A Tesla Cybertruck driver was killed in what appears to be the first reported fatal crash involving the electric pickup truck, which has yet to undergo third-party crash testing.

    There is a video of the cybertruck crash test and the thing is very stiff with very little no crumple zone - so most of the energy of the impact goes directly to the driver and passengers.

    And the edges are sharp like a knife in a crash. Incredibly dangerous.

      It’s almost like you should follow the lessons of the past and… Who am I kidding, muskrat is a billionaire therefore he’s a super genius who knows better than the decades of research into collisions…

        I mean it was a cool idea on first glance because it does things differently. But then a sane person would think about it for a while and listen to the engineers why there is a reason cars don’t look like that.
