I kind of prefer that to the grey or green I have been seeing. You might as well have a more cartoon-y color.

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.

Can they though? I heard they can’t even withstand a fender bender.

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.

Same. I’m over the shock of them.

OP - I prefer this color to the blah color I’ve seen in DMV area. This looks cheerful and less Darth Vader vibes.

Still apparently death traps for pedestrians and other vehicles who get in their way.

I'd be so embarrassed to drive one

Where do you live? In Northern Virginia, we see them everywhere. I saw a red one for the first time - before then I thought they were all gray and black. Hideous. My husband says it's clear that it was some loser bro's fantasy video game car come to life. Teeny tiny wiener car.

Spotted one at the BJs Warehouse.

They look like something I carved out of wood for the pinewood derby.

That’s even more video gamey than the regular one.

So do I…I’ll go hide now

Youll be having a great day…the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, you’re in a chipper-ass mood. And then here comes a cyber truck, just piss you off!
