[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a turquoise one that drives around Fairfax near GMU.  We have also seen a royal blue one around the same area.

I kind of hate them and am kind of fascinated buy them.  Mostly I wonder why Elon Musk thinks people need a car that can withstand a Tommy gun.[/quote]

Can they though? I heard they can’t even withstand a fender bender.[/quote]

Well we can’t know for sure since Tesla has not formally crash tested the Cybertruck with safety authorities: 
 
The National Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) have no plans to test the Cybertruck. 
 
No official safety ratings
The Cybertruck does not have official safety ratings from the NHTSA or IIHS. 
 
Real-world crash test
Tesla did release a video of the Cybertruck hitting a concrete wall at 35 mph, but this was not a standard crash test. 
 
The Cybertruck's stainless steel body has raised questions about its crash worthiness. Some safety professionals have concerns that the Cybertruck's stainless steel body panels could transfer more energy on impact, increasing the likelihood of injuries to pedestrians. However, Tesla says that the Cybertruck's front underbody casting is designed to break into small pieces in a high-speed collision, absorbing and dispersing energy

It remains a mystery without formal testing…

What I can’t figure out is whether the likely greater safety risks are to the people in the cyber trucks or the people/ cars they may hit. But Geico did dispel the myth that they won’t insure them.  But I suspect that it Tesla did the formal safety testing, that it would impact insurance conditions.[/quote]
