The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New Analysis
-
Safety belts are a waste of precious money!

He is like a child who is still rebelling against his parents who made him go to bed early too many times.
-
Wish I could find data on all fatalities/100,000
-
Top of the line in utility sports.
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts.

You mean he drew the design with a crayon?

Lol. You're getting your wish. They basically would be in the red if it weren't for some credits and Bitcoin they sold.

Most US trucks look fucking stupid. In my honest opinion.

Right but the specific issue with the Pinto was that it would explode into flames on a rear impact, so this is the appropriate metric.
Like deaths from other accidents would skew the numbers anyway becausd 70s cars were death traps compared to today, but even in that context, the Pinto's explosions were alarming.
Beating it on that isolated metric is a very special kind of achievement.

Who needs satire when you have reality?

I was thinking “What’s that red stu—oh…” Yikes.

No. Incidence is a measure of probability of events over time (or with cars alternatively over miles). If the number of events is low (and 4 is low), your confidence intervals are extremely wide (which is the statistical way to say, we have no idea what the real number may be).
The comparison is striking, the pinto had 27 fires over 9 years in >3M vehicles.

Again, "analyses" like this make great clickbait but contribute very little to our understanding, and that will remain the case even regardless of you getting angry at me about it or not.

The only thing that makes the cyberfuck safe is it's pricetag and it's virgin protector looks

Plus there's the electronic opening mechanisms that fail in the event of a fire. This is on most Teslas iirc. Even if the doors are intact, you're stuck.
There's ways to open them, but good luck with this shit when you're concussed from an accident, and sat in a burning vehicle.

I stand by my comment. Things break, shit happens, this is why we test them.
