    If it is too big of a risk it should not be certified as road legal. But then I see yanks driving stuff that would never be allowed on the road in other countries.

    Freedom to maim and cripple your opponent.

      This thing is huge, it does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, has sharp angles, and its styling does not seem to target the sensible end of the market… It’s like an industrial strength pedestrian destroyer.

        I shudder to think what one of those cybertrucks would do if it tried to plow through a crowd of protesters.

          Probably about the same thing as any other vehicle.

          Jesus are we really gonna pretend this is the first vehicle that would obliterate a pedestrian in a collision?

        It’s actually a pussy-magnet.

        Even the pasty-facediest of incels will have no problems getting laid showing up in one of these bad boys.

        It’s just how the world works 🤷

          I hear it has preprogrammed wait times for replying to text messages from females based on the redpill algorithm.

          I would like to hear from the women of Lemmy- how many of you would have sex with a man just because they drove a Cybertruck?
