Yes, the pickup truck that is shaped like a low-effort Pinewood Derby car will definitely be safer for pedestrians, that totally scans. /s

    “Of course, it’s one thing for a deer to suddenly become two deers. That’s just more venison for everybody.”

    That’s not how it works.

      It’s a pretty impressive design really. Everytime I see it, it seems to get uglier. It’s really one of the biggest mysteries of our time.

      “apparently it was a total mess, the driver won’t share the dashcam footage for that very reason” nonsense.

      Great build quality though, can’t even open the driver’s door anymore!!!

    This isn’t a big concern since there are so few cybertrucks to bisect people. It’s the meat mallet F150s that we should be worried about.

      There at least two owned near me. I know because at least one is warped in a carbon black color.

      I never hated the look of them. I always like it when people try bold different looks for any product. But I saw one in a parking lot, and was able to put hands on it in person. That’s when it’s size and sharp angles immediately made me think “This seems almost intended to be a pedestrian murder machine.” Even bumping into it as you walk around a stationary one, just seems unnecessarily dangerous.

      South Florida here - damned things are everywhere. Fortunately it’s too hot to walk anywhere most of the time.

    They … need to be in driving condition to do any slicing tho, so it might be kinda safe (very soon).

      Musk does a Nazi salute: you’re in the comments defending him Musks swastikar is even more deadly than we thought: you’re in the comments defending it.

      There is a pattern here, but I can’t quite out my finger on it.
