It’s not just money and corruption. It’s also the general selfishness that permeates American culture. Our concept of “freedom” means doing whatever you want without caring about how it may harm others.
Hit the nail on the spot! Im all for freedom. You wanna smoke go smoke. You do whatever you wanna do. But at one point, it just has to stop. When your freedom treads on others' lives you're taking away their freedom to live a normal life in a way. I hate how much society has pushed this whole freedom gimmick. A line needs to be drawn somewhere. Go and be free, dont disrupt others is all i ask. Its not hard.
not "you", the poor is free to do actually fucking nothing, in fact, the less free they're the better for the american culture, the ones free are the rich land owners and suits making millions every year.
Same with free speech absolutist. You don't get to shout fire in a cinema. It's not freedom of speech if your speech prevents other people from being free to live their own lives (looking again at Space Karen and his Nazi platform).
@missm10 watch in horror when Cybertrucks become the police patrol car because their sales have fallen. According to Elon, they're already bulletproof.
Yep, a perfect example of things which should be as alpha version, but it's already in beta testing by customers, just because it's cheaper. It's the same problem with unfinished games or basically any other half baked products.
it's American, this is hardly the first example. We've got daily mass shootings... and even a conventional SUV can have sometihng like 20 kids sitting on the ground in front of it without the driver even able to see one of them. It's all for the worst type of person in our society... the suburbanite
I think they're stupid and ugly... but also dangerous. I live in San Francisco and get immediately nervous if I see one on the road as I'm walking. Not just because of how much more dangerous it would be to be hit by one of these, but also because I'm 100% certain the "driver" is probably screwing off and not paying attention, believing Elon's lies about "full self driving" Even though Tesla's self driving is YEARS behind the actual self-driving taxis we have in the city

Last week a cyber truck was driving 65 mph in the fast lane matching the pace of a big rig that was at least 30 yards ahead in the slow lane. Most people drive 70-75 on this road. I waited several minutes behind him and he did not move to the slow lane. I didn’t crowd him or ride him bumper. I decided to just go around him. As I picked up speed I noticed he is still close behind me in the fast lane. Then I realized he was trying to box me out. At this point I’m going 85 mph and heading right into the back of the big rig and I know hitting my brakes is not an option as I could fish tail. I had no choice but to gun it and change lanes and hope to God there was room. Luckily I made it barely missing the big rig. I all I see is the bright light bar of the cybertruck in my rearview mirror. He is tailgating me at 90 mph! I pass the big rig and move over into the slow lane since NOW he wants to drive fast. He moves over behind me!! At this point I let off the gas to slow down to 70.. not brake checking.. just slowing down a bit and lightly tapped my breaks to let him know I’m slowing down. He must have slammed on his brakes because he dropped his speed dramatically. He drops his speed so much other cars pass him up and move over between us. What a P.O.S.
Preach, I'm an EMT in rural PA. But there are a few cyber trucks in State College skipping around. You should see the damage that they're picking up due to ROCK SALT. We salt the roads here constantly and it's literally Corroding the under carriage, and the body. They won't last a whole winter without being a rusted heap.
I guess the "first time you ever peeled a potato" look is the style for idiots nowadays. To be fair, I'll pick this poison over the coal rolling morons I deal with.
I really like the idea of taxing vehicles based on weight. The heavier it is, the harder it is to stop and get going again. It not only discourages unsafe oversized "trucks" but it rewards the automaker for energy efficiency in design.
2:27 Might be an unpopular opinion, but I wish we had better regulations. I detest the tankers of a truck that are on the road that seem to be multiplying.
Sadly more than one person got roasted alive when their Tesla's battery pack cooked off and they couldn't get out because those electronic locks would not undo......
Lmao here in Peachtree Corners (northeast of Atlanta proper for those unfamiliar) and there are SO many Memewagons (Wankenpanzers; Inc-el Caminos) it's ridiculous. Just /heard/ one going by a few minutes ago (before I saw it). In my experience, electric vehicles are quiet (and will emit ambient noise so they're not inaudible) but this uhhh. This was a mechanical sound. 😅
It's also because the vehicle is ridiculously heavy and powerful, and the wheels are cheap cast wheels that are poorly designed. When the wheel covers destroy the tires in the most obvious way, and the vehicle is taped together, eh. Get what ya get I guess. The cyber truck should cost no more than 4 or 5 refrigerators
They literally tried to change the regulations so the truck wouldn’t have side view mirrors. Fortunately “they couldn’t get the regulations changed” You can see this being said by the designer of the truck in the Jay Leno interview
The rising suv stats also, to me, follow the same thinking as with guns. "It's safer for me to be in my own truck than get hit by someone else's." Thus creating a deathspiral oroborus until lawmakers say, "well, now there are too many out there to do anything about it. What are we just going to come in and take all their trucks?" Just my thoughts
@@garyszewc3339 Yes, because when I see a Honda Accord or Toyota Corolla I weep for the poor soul that contorted himself into the driver's seat. Those things are barely bigger than a Hot Wheels car.
The hilarious thing being its a bloody lie to begin with. Big rigs have a MUCH higher rate of death of the driver due to turning over during the crash. The small EU style cars, even the "smart cars" that look so puny, are STILL safer even when crashing with other trucks because USA trucks aren't crash compatible anyway so they still flip over more and kill the driver more.
Cool, cool. High acceleration, high weight, poor quality build. It's not a car, it's a s*icide rocket. The average driver doesn't have enough training to drive this vehicle if the stats are correct.
I honestly think that a undercurrent of anti-intellectualism has permeated American society for a long time and in recent years it has simply bubbled up to the surface.
I live in a suburban area, almost rural. Pickup trucks and SUVs outnumber smaller cars more than 2:1. I'm starting to see these more and more. People here are so susceptible to the propaganda and now it's an arms race of who has the biggest vehicle. So cooked
Tesla cameras cannot see in the dark and cannot see through bad weather like fog. Lidar, can both see objects in the dark and in fog. In my opinion, every Tesla is defective as far as ever achieving, so called, full self driving. Then there is all the other problems...
every time you hear people complain about regulations, or removing regulations, substitute in your mind the word "protections" because that's what regulations really are
Just like all the shooting drills kids are having to do in schools they probably just need to learn to outrun that thing. Regulations are killing kids not cars. Sorry for the very poor attempt at sarcasm.
They put explosive lithium batteries all throughout the frame of the cybertruck. These batteries are so volatile and vulnerable to both moisture and puncture. US safety and emissions laws are actually incentivising larger vehicles
i saw a video talking about the errors on the cybertruck and in the end the youtuber said well as a conclusion it is still a prototype so its okay, it will be beter in a time and i was like ????? if its a prototypw why its on the road?? the lack of regulation in America its so astounding to me... Then this is what ends up happening
Friends don't let friends ride in murder boxes, flame coaches, rolling crematoriums. Then you have the fan boys and stock pumpers calling them the safest cars on the road. Disturbing.
There's a documentary series from the 1990s called "CRASH" about auto mobile development in the USA after WW2 and through the 50s and 60s and into the 70s. It''s worth finding if you can. There was a question asked at one point: "What's the BEST safety feature you can have in a car?". The response was: "a 12inch spike on the steering wheel pointed at the drivers chest".
Boy I wish I was Euro-brained to the point that I could mispronounce "Ford F-150" as a "Ford-105", F-150s are as common in America as baseball, apple pie, and institutionally enshrined racism
You'd think cars, especially ones as big as these. would have to meet some really strict regulations to be allowed to be sold. It blows my mind how any rational person approved of this.
American Cars actually do have to pass a lot of safety tests. But in the US we do not yet have pedestrian crash tests. Still, the boom years for mega-trucks are probably dead. Cybertrucks helped kill them. Apparently they sold about 30,000 and then sales stopped and a whole bunch of them are now sitting in various Tesla lots and they are struggling to get rid of them.
In America, you don’t even have annual technical vehicle checks to make sure they are road and public safe or even basic headlight beams adjustment to make sure you don’t blind other drivers. The street legality of America’s vehicles is incomprehensible.
@@andrej2321There is testing in many areas. Those areas are usually liberal area where the streets have drug addicted homeless everywhere and your car will be smashed by a stolen Dodge or Kia piloted by our greatest strength (diversity)
To be fair all cars hoods, trunks, and doors have the same dangerous pinch points. Only Cybertruck owners have the blind faith in Elon to stick their fingers in there.
When I had a kid as soon as he learned to walk I had to teach him that feet from our safe house was a place so deadly you could die with just a moment of inattetion..the road. This I realized is an extremely unnatural circumstance we have designed into our lives. Sure nature has her hazards but they are nothing like roads in the level of situational awareness required basically every moment one moves within 3/4 of the built environment.
i just saw my first cybertruck in alberta, canada the other day. just horrifying, im scared enough (both as a pedestrian AND a driver) of the state of our roads without these death traps on the road
It's so discouraging how many pristine, giant trucks are in the road in Michigan, USA. They don't need these huge vehicles--it's even scarier to realize that they are putting people like us in smaller cars at a higher risk as well. Aside from that, they are bad for the environment & dangerous to others regardless of vehicle or pedestrian status.
The Cybertruck's design screams Elon Musk vanity project meant to appeal to 14 year old Redditors. Most engineers would not design overpriced PlayStation 1 meme machines that are banned in the EU. On the other hand, the Cybertruck is probably the first Tesla car where Elon kept interfering with the design and demanded ridiculous features for the sake of making a retro sci fi car at the expense of driver and pedestrian safety.
Trump's transition team is already suggesting that they scrap requirements to report car safety issues like these. Reuters and several other outlets have reported this.
It's been actually CAFE, the law from the 70's that allowed light trucks to have a thirstier gas mileage than cars. Cars became smaller and poorly powered, and people went to trucks and SUV's because they could still get the power and space they were used to.
I saw a video where a car ran a red light and got tboned by a cybertruck at like 25-30 mph and it did a lot of damage even at that relatively low speed. I can’t imagine what a head on collision at 55 mph would be like.
If you're ever in a collision with a Cybertruck (and survive) you'll have miles of ground to sue for millions due to all of these faults. It might not get pulled, but we can ensure that it's too much of a civil liability for people to want to drive.
The average American HATES how difficult it is for us to find a smaller vehicle. I hear the Honda Fit is still in production, but they're not really available in the US.
It’s bad enough someone near me has a Dodge Ram. He lives in a Victorian seaside village, the thing barely fits on the road. Not idea how it gets parked.
And yes he does get the usual jokes driving around. I’m not one for body shaming but I don’t complain. I much more enjoy the rich dickheads in their supercars/grand tourers/hypercars. I’m a bit of a car nerd and prefer the sleek lines of the DB5 I frequently see to the block that is the Ram.
I'm not a fan of trying to regulate everything dangerous and I never wanted these on the road. A lot of the people buying them like that they're dangerous, I'm sure. Helps entertain the delusion they're like a cowboy breakin a stallion 😂 How do you not eat those chocolate oranges?
@@anthonyrowland9072 They "tested" it in house and the video clearly demonstrates that they replaced the production plate steel frunk lid with a sheet metal frunk lid so it would crumple.
The good thing though is I feel most people who own cybertrucks get ruthlessly bullied by the public. And most Americans can’t afford them anyways. Hopefully something is done about them someday but definitely isn’t happening in these next 4 years 😭
Congratulations, America: The Trump transition team has already recommended scrapping the requirement that companies report automated vehicle crash data. So, if "regulators" can intervene if they identify a pattern of related incidents... Everything sounds great, keep doing what you're doing. k
Wow, LetsssGooooo Merrikkkah!!!! Coz stopping the US Government (CDC) keeping track of deaths caused by guns solved the very American problem of mass shooting and other gun crimes!! .... If don't count them, they never happened!! 🙈🙉🙊
I had an old Nissan that the pedal would get stuck under the floormat at full throttle but it had a mechanical transmission which allowed you to throw it in neutral and then turn the ignition off. I will never trust electrical transmissions or cars in general because you cant do that in drive by wire cars. If you want to have nightmares, look up the 911 call from the driver of the Toyota that wouldn't stop accelerating from around 15 years ago. That's guaranteed to happen to a lot of these modern cars with electronic transmissions and push button ignitions. 😬

Preach, I'm an EMT in rural PA. But there are a few cyber trucks in State College skipping around. You should see the damage that they're picking up due to ROCK SALT. We salt the roads here constantly and it's literally Corroding the under carriage, and the body. They won't last a whole winter without being a rusted heap.
Gonna be piloting that thang like Fred flintstone by spring lmao
They don't like snow either.
@@realMacMadame How dare you claim you need lights if it snows.
you gotta love seeing it... I know I would
@@jepulis6674 I know. I am SO entitled. /s
This thing being Musk's pet project proves how much of an idiot he really is.
Who in their right mind would buy a car that looks like an oven
Looks like a stainless steel restaurant kitchen
People who are really into roasting! They just don't get, that it's gonna be a self-burn. 😑
I guess the "first time you ever peeled a potato" look is the style for idiots nowadays.
To be fair, I'll pick this poison over the coal rolling morons I deal with.
The cybertruck is extremely ugly.
I really like the idea of taxing vehicles based on weight. The heavier it is, the harder it is to stop and get going again. It not only discourages unsafe oversized "trucks" but it rewards the automaker for energy efficiency in design.
Heavier the greater the wear on roads and infrastructure too.
Elon is planning on cutting every regulator who has or even thinks of investigating him in the future.
2:27 Might be an unpopular opinion, but I wish we had better regulations. I detest the tankers of a truck that are on the road that seem to be multiplying.
"Made in America" is going to have a certain stigma in a few years.
I'm afraid it's already there in Europe. We are aware of the loose regulations and avoid American goods, from food to cars.
The genius of Elon Musk in making electric locking doors is that it will trap you in your car during the fire!
Sadly more than one person got roasted alive when their Tesla's battery pack cooked off and they couldn't get out because those electronic locks would not undo......
Sadly I’ve seen them in person. Just when you thought driving in places like Atlanta couldn’t get any more dangerous!
and traffic is already bad enough in atlanta cybertrucks a a death sentence
Lmao here in Peachtree Corners (northeast of Atlanta proper for those unfamiliar) and there are SO many Memewagons (Wankenpanzers; Inc-el Caminos) it's ridiculous.
Just /heard/ one going by a few minutes ago (before I saw it). In my experience, electric vehicles are quiet (and will emit ambient noise so they're not inaudible) but this uhhh. This was a mechanical sound. 😅
Ive seen a few in Toronto and the surrounding area. I am NOT happy that they are allowed here.
Now the wheels are starting to crack because they appear to be crappy cast aluminum like you'd get off ebay.
It's also because the vehicle is ridiculously heavy and powerful, and the wheels are cheap cast wheels that are poorly designed. When the wheel covers destroy the tires in the most obvious way, and the vehicle is taped together, eh. Get what ya get I guess.
The cyber truck should cost no more than 4 or 5 refrigerators
They literally tried to change the regulations so the truck wouldn’t have side view mirrors. Fortunately “they couldn’t get the regulations changed”
You can see this being said by the designer of the truck in the Jay Leno interview
Not even truck mirrors, just the ones every car has to have!
What’s the betting that in his new gov position he will change the road regs to suit the cyber truck?
The rising suv stats also, to me, follow the same thinking as with guns. "It's safer for me to be in my own truck than get hit by someone else's." Thus creating a deathspiral oroborus until lawmakers say, "well, now there are too many out there to do anything about it. What are we just going to come in and take all their trucks?" Just my thoughts
No, people drive SUVs and trucks, because they are practical. I'm not comfortable, in a little cracker box.
@@garyszewc3339They are more likely to kill.
@@garyszewc3339 not really. And youxre just making excuses.
Advertisement is programming for weak minds.
@@garyszewc3339 Yes, because when I see a Honda Accord or Toyota Corolla I weep for the poor soul that contorted himself into the driver's seat. Those things are barely bigger than a Hot Wheels car.
The hilarious thing being its a bloody lie to begin with. Big rigs have a MUCH higher rate of death of the driver due to turning over during the crash. The small EU style cars, even the "smart cars" that look so puny, are STILL safer even when crashing with other trucks because USA trucks aren't crash compatible anyway so they still flip over more and kill the driver more.
Ugliest thing on american roads. America has a talent for designing these ugly beasts.
Seen multiple of them, how do you go from the base Tesla models to this monster?
@@davidd4696by having Elon in the design team
As an American, I’m so sorry 😞
Hey come on, Elon Musk is an illegal immigrant from South Africa
Ugliest thing by far, and that includes the roadkill.
Peak ultra capitalism
Cool, cool. High acceleration, high weight, poor quality build. It's not a car, it's a s*icide rocket. The average driver doesn't have enough training to drive this vehicle if the stats are correct.
America feels like a bad movie right now. It doesn't feel like home anymore. Ignorance used to be embarrassing and hidden away, not proudly displayed.
America chose Orange Inc. aka ignorance
@@TalesFromTheUnderside funny, Orange Inc is an anagram of ignorance.
I honestly think that a undercurrent of anti-intellectualism has permeated American society for a long time and in recent years it has simply bubbled up to the surface.
And guess who's incoming administration is going to stop considering aelf driveing car wrecks as classic car accidents? Musk's bro!
I live in a suburban area, almost rural. Pickup trucks and SUVs outnumber smaller cars more than 2:1. I'm starting to see these more and more. People here are so susceptible to the propaganda and now it's an arms race of who has the biggest vehicle. So cooked
Tesla cameras cannot see in the dark and cannot see through bad weather like fog. Lidar, can both see objects in the dark and in fog. In my opinion, every Tesla is defective as far as ever achieving, so called, full self driving. Then there is all the other problems...
Musk is obsessed with not using Lidar too. For no good reason.
None of these cars are cars but classified as "light trucks" that category needs removing
Really loving how we'll be the most unregulated country in the world during these next 4 years
We'll find out there's some truth to the old saying, "Every law(in this case regulation) is written in blood."
every time you hear people complain about regulations, or removing regulations, substitute in your mind the word "protections" because that's what regulations really are
I've seen one on the road in person. It looks like a low-ploy PS2 render of a vehicle.
ps1*
im seeing more and more cybertrucks on the road every day. its really depressing.
Trucks with high profiles that when a person gets hit gets dragged underneath the car.
Just like all the shooting drills kids are having to do in schools they probably just need to learn to outrun that thing. Regulations are killing kids not cars. Sorry for the very poor attempt at sarcasm.
See? Masks are dangerous for children. Because flammable.
I see a lot of these out in LA while riding my bike, which is very disturbing.
They put explosive lithium batteries all throughout the frame of the cybertruck. These batteries are so volatile and vulnerable to both moisture and puncture. US safety and emissions laws are actually incentivising larger vehicles
i saw a video talking about the errors on the cybertruck and in the end the youtuber said well as a conclusion it is still a prototype so its okay, it will be beter in a time and i was like ????? if its a prototypw why its on the road?? the lack of regulation in America its so astounding to me... Then this is what ends up happening
The vehicles in the original TRON film had a higher polygon count.
Friends don't let friends ride in murder boxes, flame coaches, rolling crematoriums. Then you have the fan boys and stock pumpers calling them the safest cars on the road. Disturbing.
There's a documentary series from the 1990s called "CRASH" about auto mobile development in the USA after WW2 and through the 50s and 60s and into the 70s. It''s worth finding if you can. There was a question asked at one point: "What's the BEST safety feature you can have in a car?". The response was: "a 12inch spike on the steering wheel pointed at the drivers chest".
Boy I wish I was Euro-brained to the point that I could mispronounce "Ford F-150" as a "Ford-105", F-150s are as common in America as baseball, apple pie, and institutionally enshrined racism
They are everywhere now and im always terrified
That's no truck. Looks like crap. No idea why someone would want one of those ugly things.
I wouldn’t ever be caught in an Elon coffin.😂
You'd think cars, especially ones as big as these. would have to meet some really strict regulations to be allowed to be sold. It blows my mind how any rational person approved of this.
American Cars actually do have to pass a lot of safety tests. But in the US we do not yet have pedestrian crash tests. Still, the boom years for mega-trucks are probably dead. Cybertrucks helped kill them. Apparently they sold about 30,000 and then sales stopped and a whole bunch of them are now sitting in various Tesla lots and they are struggling to get rid of them.
In America, you don’t even have annual technical vehicle checks to make sure they are road and public safe or even basic headlight beams adjustment to make sure you don’t blind other drivers. The street legality of America’s vehicles is incomprehensible.
@@andrej2321There is testing in many areas. Those areas are usually liberal area where the streets have drug addicted homeless everywhere and your car will be smashed by a stolen Dodge or Kia piloted by our greatest strength (diversity)
Remember when the frunk would close with so much force that it could break your fingers? yeah.
To be fair all cars hoods, trunks, and doors have the same dangerous pinch points. Only Cybertruck owners have the blind faith in Elon to stick their fingers in there.
i drive a 2004 toyota matrix. I can feel sooooooooo tiny in traffic with the newer trucks. even a ford f150 is freaking massive
When I had a kid as soon as he learned to walk I had to teach him that feet from our safe house was a place so deadly you could die with just a moment of inattetion..the road. This I realized is an extremely unnatural circumstance we have designed into our lives. Sure nature has her hazards but they are nothing like roads in the level of situational awareness required basically every moment one moves within 3/4 of the built environment.
Too many emotions on the road. "I have a big truck = I am a "bad ass".
i just saw my first cybertruck in alberta, canada the other day. just horrifying, im scared enough (both as a pedestrian AND a driver) of the state of our roads without these death traps on the road
Noooooooooo coming soon to a sprawl near me
I’ve seen one in Red Deer.
I love this channel so much. Thanks for reminding everyone how horrendous Musk really is.
Elongated Muskrat is truly the Henry Ford of our time.
Working on the Edsel.
Henry Ford was far superior if only for his total disrespect for the small hats
Why anyone would want or spend money on this eyesore is beyond me.
Here in Texas, they love driving huge trucks and speeding.
It's so discouraging how many pristine, giant trucks are in the road in Michigan, USA. They don't need these huge vehicles--it's even scarier to realize that they are putting people like us in smaller cars at a higher risk as well. Aside from that, they are bad for the environment & dangerous to others regardless of vehicle or pedestrian status.
I think mega car drivers should be required to have a special license. Make the test hard.
The Cybertruck's design screams Elon Musk vanity project meant to appeal to 14 year old Redditors. Most engineers would not design overpriced PlayStation 1 meme machines that are banned in the EU. On the other hand, the Cybertruck is probably the first Tesla car where Elon kept interfering with the design and demanded ridiculous features for the sake of making a retro sci fi car at the expense of driver and pedestrian safety.
Trump's transition team is already suggesting that they scrap requirements to report car safety issues like these. Reuters and several other outlets have reported this.
Self-driving regulations getting tossed next month, along with most regulations for “government efficiency”
It's been actually CAFE, the law from the 70's that allowed light trucks to have a thirstier gas mileage than cars. Cars became smaller and poorly powered, and people went to trucks and SUV's because they could still get the power and space they were used to.
Damn Elon Created TRUCK-KUN
Merry Xmas to you too, nice tree!
I saw a video where a car ran a red light and got tboned by a cybertruck at like 25-30 mph and it did a lot of damage even at that relatively low speed. I can’t imagine what a head on collision at 55 mph would be like.
4 people were burnt to death in a non cybertruck crash recently because the electric doors wouldn't open as the electrics failed in the fire.
If you're ever in a collision with a Cybertruck (and survive) you'll have miles of ground to sue for millions due to all of these faults. It might not get pulled, but we can ensure that it's too much of a civil liability for people to want to drive.
You think they'd spend the few cents extra and gorilla glue the break pad tops on or something
Gorilla glue is fantastic, except for the poor gorillas.
On the upside.....nobody is buying them.
NYC reduced speed limits to 25mph years ago. People STILL complain. The kicker? Average speed in NYC was like 10mph lmfao
The average American HATES how difficult it is for us to find a smaller vehicle. I hear the Honda Fit is still in production, but they're not really available in the US.
Would also help to get cars off the roads with mass transit.
It’s bad enough someone near me has a Dodge Ram. He lives in a Victorian seaside village, the thing barely fits on the road. Not idea how it gets parked.
And yes he does get the usual jokes driving around. I’m not one for body shaming but I don’t complain. I much more enjoy the rich dickheads in their supercars/grand tourers/hypercars. I’m a bit of a car nerd and prefer the sleek lines of the DB5 I frequently see to the block that is the Ram.
There's 1 here in Prague. It had to be modified to pass inspection and get registered.
The muskrat should be stopped
Deported!
Elon is the guvment now. Thats standard manufacturing practice now.
It also runs stop signs.
I'm not a fan of trying to regulate everything dangerous and I never wanted these on the road. A lot of the people buying them like that they're dangerous, I'm sure. Helps entertain the delusion they're like a cowboy breakin a stallion 😂
How do you not eat those chocolate oranges?
Never been legitimately crash tested.
There's no way this truck legit passed testing.
@@anthonyrowland9072 They "tested" it in house and the video clearly demonstrates that they replaced the production plate steel frunk lid with a sheet metal frunk lid so it would crumple.
The good thing though is I feel most people who own cybertrucks get ruthlessly bullied by the public. And most Americans can’t afford them anyways. Hopefully something is done about them someday but definitely isn’t happening in these next 4 years 😭
I saw a cyber truck get into a accident today lololololol
I've been seeing more Cybertrucks popping up here in Dallas tx, but then stupidity is a commodity here.
Congratulations, America:
The Trump transition team has already recommended scrapping the requirement that companies report automated vehicle crash data. So, if "regulators" can intervene if they identify a pattern of related incidents...
Everything sounds great, keep doing what you're doing. k
Wow, LetsssGooooo Merrikkkah!!!! Coz stopping the US Government (CDC) keeping track of deaths caused by guns solved the very American problem of mass shooting and other gun crimes!! .... If don't count them, they never happened!! 🙈🙉🙊
let us pray for a Segway scenario
Very obvious….NO quality controls..?
Look what he did to twitter? Cut, cut , cut..
The only justice is street justice
I had an old Nissan that the pedal would get stuck under the floormat at full throttle but it had a mechanical transmission which allowed you to throw it in neutral and then turn the ignition off. I will never trust electrical transmissions or cars in general because you cant do that in drive by wire cars. If you want to have nightmares, look up the 911 call from the driver of the Toyota that wouldn't stop accelerating from around 15 years ago. That's guaranteed to happen to a lot of these modern cars with electronic transmissions and push button ignitions. 😬
A truck killing fanboys you say? And the down side is what exactly?
It also kills innocent bystanders. So that's the downside.
