    There are zero pedestrian impact standards. As for crumple zones, Glitzy is basing this evaluation on exterior styling and zero knowledge of the actual chassis construction. I’d wait for actual crash testing results.

    In any case, trucks and large SUVs in America are held to lower standards than cars because they can be classified as “commercial vehicles”

      Nice of you to mention me outside of the context of my comment. Even if there are no official standards, what is preventing them from actually caring about pedestrian lives? What other EV doesn’t currently have crumple zones?

        Why are you so confident about the Cybertruck not having crumple zones? Do you have the actual CAD files for the chassis? Or Tesla’s internal testing data? Or are you just pulling that out of your ass?

          The fact that it’s a solid piece of rolled steel that is then bent by a press? Why are you so confident that it does have them? Is there a reason you have to be so rude to get your point across?
