The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New Analysis
-
They don't have to explicitly ban the Cybertruck if it doesn't pass the existing regulations. It's not legal to drive in UK/EU. You could buy one for display-only or something I'm sure.
-
Reads like clickbait. There's 34K Cybetrucks, so the actual number of fire fatalities is rounded to 5, one of which is the trumptower guy (so 20% is already intentional). Not that these are encouraging numbers, but you can't draw conclusions from an N of 4.
-
Might have something to do with it looking fucking stupid.
-
Also, normally the cost savings should go to the client, not into some billionaires bank account.
-
1/6887 is not good odds.
-
Him and his libertarian friends fuck up left and right. Crashing startups and just getting more money for another. Etc
Yet they hold the government to a standard of being perfect and high performing with no room for failure.
And Trump is the biggest fuckup of all these guys.
-
These are cybertruck owners....
-
Probably why he’s closed the CFPB.
-
HUSH!!! DO NOT TELL THE CUCKWAGON OWNERS!!
-
Better than COVID...
cough.
-
Blade Runner vehicles were more aligned with 1960s coupes
-
I have no problem with something looking stupid. The problem for me is not just that it looks stupid, but that it is stupid
-
It seems obvious in hindsight. Sheet metal doors will crumple in a way that can't be opened, trapping occupants. The fire doesn't need to start in the relatively safe and armored battery system. It could be pinched wiring causing a short that ignites plastic interiors, or a fire from another vehicle spreading to the cybertruck.
I'm sure someone mentioned all this to them during design.

Look, all I'm asking is that Tesla investors lose all their goddamn money.
-
the maga crowd has diesel truck attache to their very masculinity, thats never happening.
-
Really took the wind out of my satirical comment that Musk wanted to bring back the Pinto.

You can’t use “literally” and
.. be over 14

I see you don’t understand testing things before they are safe for humans to be inside of. So by this logic, you are saying “blowing up rockets until it works” is also saying “crash testing cars is stupid.”
<blank stare>
If NASA was funded properly, we may not be leaning on one private company, whose owner is a nazi, to be paving our way forward for daily space activities. Can’t say things won’t blow up during testing, but at least it won’t be headed by that guy.

I look at the cartoon from Byrnes and it reminds me of the US healthcare system.
-
Blowing up rockets until it works is a far better approach than trying to get everything to work on the first try and ending up with a hugely overpriced white elephant.
