    “Nobody was injured,” said a spokesperson, “thank God they were driving a Cybertruck and not something with some actual power and ruggedness.”

      Cybertrucks are actually more dangerous to pedestrians in a collision due to their high, blunt hood and sharp corners.

        Yep, it’s big part of why they’ve not been approved for sale in the UK and probably other European countries.

        Cybertrucks are also more dangerous to pedestrians on the sidewalk who can be hit with flying metal panels as they fly off the trucks at speed.

      I know you are just making a joke, but Cybertrucks have way too much actual power. They have between 600 and 850 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds. The problem is they weigh 11,000 pounds, so it’s hard to stop or turn them once they get going.
