One of the many reasons this death machine is banned in Europe

For a car supposedly made of steel, that's an awful lot of plastic.

Ah yes, all is going according to the plan.
replies:
there is a guy who lives about 2 miles away from me that owns one. I used to see his truck around, and see it while I was out walking parked in his driveway. I stopped seeing it for a few months. Then I was walking by when I saw him outside doping something in his yard and asked what happened to his truck. He said it was too much trouble, I said yeah, i heard they have some serious issues on the news. he replies "On top having to take it to the shop almost once a month motherfuckers just kept vandalizing the thing. It just was not worth owning."
It's a thought that makes me smile.
Holy shit how are these still legally drivable?!

i hope someone slices elon in half

Elon musk is a Nazi

We could double the human population with cyber trucks!
replies:
Elon Musk lies.
That is, like Trump he deliberately and wittingly deceives. Compare Cybertruck will be much safer per mile than other trucks, both for occupants and pedestrians. with I am the most transparent president in history.
Those lies extend to his outrageous space and industry goals like mars colonies and space-based data centers. Or the hyperloop.
He probably sees it as salesmanship the way Trump sees his own lies as the art of the deal.
And when Musk denies the death toll of DOGE ending USAID, he's lying to himself.
Ok I know this thing is old news and we should all be past the initial shock of Elon doing something very Elon again.
But still...WHY THE FUCK IS IT SO UGLY?
replies:
Elon claims that it is safer for pedestrians
Safer than what? Being shot in the face?
replies:
Very safe for pedestrians where I live as no one in their right mind would even consider imagining thinking about buying one even if they weren't banned and didn't look like a wheeled skip, therefore no pedestrians are at risk.
don't give that Kennedy guy ideas
I fucking bail if there's one even near me. They're knives on wheels and that's only one of many issues that make it a death trap for people inside or outside of it.
replies:
It can't hurt you. It either misses you or kill you, no risk of getting permanently paralyzed. That's a huge progress!
And the red neck doesn't give one single fuck about the deer, or seem to realize it would do the same to a person at half speed.
replies:
Can confirm: Two halves of a deer are safer for pedophiles!

I'm honestly surprised any of those things are still running.
Updated: CyberTrash slices feet in half, Elmo lies through is teeth, as he does every time he opens his mouth
FTFY
I don't think a pedestrian is surviving being hit by any vehicle at 75mph. You could wrap a Prius in down pillows and it's going to end messily.
replies:
Okay I know this dumpster is made out of hard angles, but do they really expect us to believe that it sliced anything in half?
replies:
My parents hit a deer at 40mph with their Forester and it turned into pink mist. The only "mass" left of it was just a head. I have no doubt the CT is not as safe as regular vehicles, but I don't think the outcome of object getting hit by something at 75mph is going to be an indicator of safety.
replies:
Watch the video in the link. The buck may have been 'cut in half', but the truck...
They report an updated repair bill of $11,000, and that the truck was driveable after the crash but that the closest door was jammed shut.
