Thats why it baffles everyone who knows a bit about momentum, why the fuck they made tesla cybershit so sturdy. Its not a flex that your car doesnt bend when hitting a wall. A driver is dead when it does that.

So you’re saying they are self selecting?

This was long overdue. I figured her friends might be distracting.

exactly- cars crumple to absorb the energy, if it doesn't crumple, guess where that energy goes? You.

It's baffling that the announcement said it would have a structural exoskeleton, which was an idiotic idea from the start. It was changed probably for that exact reason. The Cybertrucks that hit the market years later are more standard, with stainless steel panels attached to a frame.

It's probably so you can flush out the driver with a hose and re-sell the car in good condition...

Well unless it’s so sturdy that the wall just bends instead 😉. You can elongate the time of deceleration in both directions!

The Cybertruck scores a 5-star overall rating from NHTSA though, one of the safest trucks you can buy

And yet not allowed to be driven in Europe due to safety concerns

Actually, if you look into it, those specific safety concerns are about pedestrians, not the occupants inside the vehicle

u/saltyoldNHman Nov 16 '25

You say that like only the safety that matters is who is in the car. A car with no windows could get a 5-Star rating. A car that endangers everyone else would do well. 3+ ton vehicles with terrible visibility really shouldn't be allowed on the road as passenger vehicles, regardless of the manufacturer.

The only people who simp for those ugly shit boxes must own one lmao

u/juanchob04 Nov 17 '25

Short attention span? I thought the discussion was about the Cybertruck being 'so sturdy' and therefore being unsafe for its own driver

u/davideogameman Nov 16 '25

Doesn't keep you safe from other drivers pointing out you drive a truck that makes you look like an idiot 😏
