“Death Machine” was from the perspective occupants of other vehicles and pedestrians. Pretty stupid spin on pretty big box that’s clearly safe for passengers.


I guess the NHTSA figured out a way to avoid DOGE


It's still an exceedingly ugly car, and the reliability has been pretty bad (with a carwash being a thing that can void the warranty), and it's become a symbol for people who want to dickride the Diablo cheater, but I'm glad that it is at least safe enough for the people inside.


Absolutely no one was saying it would be unsafe for the occupants.

Absolutely everyone mounting criticisms of the Cybertruck were concerned with the people involved in collisions with it.

This entire article is a straw man argument that lacks the quality and good-faith we should expect from HN.


Actually to be fair I was saying it was unsafe for the occupants, because it doesn't crumple.

I don't know that I'm completely convinced still, it's tough to know anything when the Diablo cheater is targeting every agency and industry that has ever annoyed him, but assuming that this report is accurate I'll admit that I was partially wrong.


Nothing makes me feel safe like my Canyonero.

"Can you name the truck with four wheel drive, Smells like a steak and seats thirty five? Canyonero! Canyonero! Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down, It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown, Canyonero! Canyonero!"

"12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American pride! Canyonero! Canyonero! Top of the line in utility sports, Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts! Canyonero! Canyonero! She blinds everybody with her super high beams, She's a squirrel-squashin', deer smackin' drivin' machine, Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero! Whoa, Canyonero! Whoooooaaaa!"

As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding.
