Gonna be real fun to see the crash test rating.
Without crumple zones, all of the kinetic energy goes into the occupants.
I know it's fun to bash Tesla every now and then for their ridiculous things.
But do you really think, after making 4 vehicles with top of the line safety, that they will just say 'eh, fuck it' with the cybertruck?
It's an aluminum casting base construction, just like the Model Y, so why would there be no crumble zones?
Were talking about Elon here. Yes, I do think so. In addition, don't give too much credit, the other vehicles would always be inherently safer because they're electric.
Ah yes, inherent safety can naturally be disregarded in such considerations.
