    Credit where credit is due, Tesla makes some of the safest cars on the road if we exclude the Cybertruck.

      What other company sells cars that self-drive themselves into fatal collisions?

        I’m talking about crash ratings but as far as I know actual collisions data is in favor of Tesla vs non-self driving/assisted driving cars.

          because that 3 1/2 ton monstrosity will absolutely demolish anything it collides with.

      The cybertruck seems ultra safe for the driver. RIP to who gets hit by it, though

        It actually doesn’t absorb the impact well because it’s too rigid

          not to mention that having 3 1/2 tons slamming into you at however-many mph tends to end poorly, regardless of the crumple zones on your car and especially when it’s mounted that high up.
