Safer for pedestrians, in the nihilistic sense that they at least won’t survive the hit I guess?

    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.

    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.

    Elon claims that it is safer for pedestrians

    Safer than what? Being shot in the face?

      Safer than nothing, its just another lie of a serial liar who has lied about literally everything for his entire life.

      At this point if he’d claim 2+2=4, I’d presume math went upside down and it must be 5, because he’d be lying about it for sure.

      Its only a matter of time until some unfortunate human gets cut in half by one of these monstrosities, its too bad we have to wait until that happens to take them off the road forever.

        I have no doubt’s the cyber truck will be regarded as worst automotive failure of all time. Not just because its a piece of shit but because of how much money was wasted on it.

    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?

    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.

      I’ll just call the police if I see one, because there’s no way it’d be road legal here in the EU lmao

        I’m not sure if NATO personnel in Belgium can bring this shit here: they can drive their US registered car without issues because I’ve seen quite a few cars with US plates (and only on the rear) in that area.

    It can’t hurt you. It either misses you or kill you, no risk of getting permanently paralyzed. That’s a huge progress!

    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.

      If you could choose to be hit by a vehicle, would you choose to be hit by a cybertruck or a prius? Be honest.

        I’d be just as dead, but I don’t think I want the shame of being killed by the ugliest truck in history.

    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?

      I’m thinking sliced is probably not quite what happened…

      But… ya know… it sounds better than some asshat hit a deer in a CyberFuck® for like the 500th time.

        Kinda hard to describe just how soft a fleshy being is and how little of a sharp edge you need to cut something when the knife is travelling at 70mph

        While they didn’t exactly anime style bisect the deer, I’m sure that it was pretty sliced up after being hit by a bin shaped wedge of poor design.

          Not to flog a dead deer but you seem to be describing getting hit by a truck.

          How they got away without the standard 10MPH crash bumpers on the thing remains a mystery, but I doubt it would have helped the poor deer.

          Maybe one of those cute little Asian deer could have ducked, but anything else is basically a pile of venison.

            This is what I was replying to.

            Sliced is a pretty accurate descriptor, maybe “tenderized” if you only want it in a pile and not chunked.
