Of course there are crumple zones. I have no idea why people are parroting this nonsense. Here’s a video that explains it:

Did you watch that video? There’s no crumple zone! The front end bounces back off that wall almost immediately! When the host was saying he doesn’t see a difference, there was a pretty big difference in how the cybertruck bounced backwards but the truck settled down.

i feel like, at most, it would be accurate to say “this has a rather bad crumple zone that is liable to turning you into chunky marinara on the interior of your car”. by modern standards it’s hilarious

So that doesn’t really debunk the statement. Like the other comment says, the Cybertruck bounces a lot more than the F150. Tesla says the underside of the front end is designed to break apart, but from what I can see online the actual safety is still up in the air.
