There are crumple zones, they’re just not as big as those in competing trucks. But yeah, the safety comparison is probably negligible, what really makes me think it’s a bad truck is the design of the bed. It’s got slanted walls. That really limits what you can haul and how you can get it into the bed.

Let's be real. No one is hauling anything in this truck. In my experience the more expensive truckk the less its actually used for anything.

The entire cybertruck fleet hauling completed by 2030 is probably the equivalent to one year of 01 Nissan Frontiers...

Yeah the practicality of the cybertruck is definitely questionable!
