Yes, the pickup truck that is shaped like a low-effort Pinewood Derby car will definitely be safer for pedestrians, that totally scans. /s

    This isn’t a big concern since there are so few cybertrucks to bisect people. It’s the meat mallet F150s that we should be worried about.

      There at least two owned near me. I know because at least one is warped in a carbon black color.

      I never hated the look of them. I always like it when people try bold different looks for any product. But I saw one in a parking lot, and was able to put hands on it in person. That’s when it’s size and sharp angles immediately made me think “This seems almost intended to be a pedestrian murder machine.” Even bumping into it as you walk around a stationary one, just seems unnecessarily dangerous.

      South Florida here - damned things are everywhere. Fortunately it’s too hot to walk anywhere most of the time.
