@htannberg Check out the frontal impact footage - this thing is a deathtrap both inside and out - no wonder they aren't even going to bother trying to sell it in Europe, it'd never meet the minimum requirements.

I just watched the frontal impact footage at 35mph - yikes looks horrific - even worse the rear passengers have only the most basic airbags.

@htannberg No, seriously go look at the footage and compare to the same impact on a Model Y - it's night and day, the people in the Cybertruck would be messed up bad - especially the rear passengers who don't even seem to have a full set of airbags!

Had a guy turn up in a Mercedes G63 to give me a quote on digging a hole for a swimming pool once... as always I got 3 quotes - his was a whopping $4000 more than the next most expensive. Needless to say I didn't go with him - the guy I did give it to was driving a F150. The hole came up fine.

@barackobama4552 See the one that compares it with a Model Y (admittedly the Y is one of the safest cars on the road) - you can see how much the crash dummy's are hurled around in the Cybertruck compared to the Y, and how the Y has a full suite of rear passenger and all airbags deploy very quickly, whereas the Cybertruck seems to have minimal airbags for the rear passenger, and the airbags in general are very sluggish to deploy. The rear dummies end up with extremely hyperextended necks and backs in the Cybertruck. There is also a video that compares with another truck (Dodge Ram I think?) - but it's not really a good comparison as the other truck is only a partial frontal impact.

@MrTimeless101 First time fitting bull bars to the front of a truck would actually make it safer for pedestrians!

@zumptt In Nascar they have a full roll cage, 6 point harness, neck padding and helmets - they can't really move around much to hyperextend things, and if their head hits something it's pretty well protected. Re-watching that cybertruck video makes me wonder if the airbag and seatbelt pretensioner module is faulty or slow as the airbags take a long time to deploy, and the rear passengers in particular don't seem to have much in the way of pretensioning if any at all. I wonder if they have installed standard impact sensors, and those impact sensors are just not coping fast enough with the extremely rigid body to deploy the safety systems quickly enough.

@htannberg But they are still charging people for a self driving system that doesn't work at all and has injured hundreds of people and killed quite a few. I mean, VW is a far more mature company, and they are evil as all buggery, literally poisoning people for profit. You can't expect any major corporation to always act mature or ethical - comes down to corporate culture, and when your CEO is a swindling crook like Elon, the culture is probably pretty rotten.
