MKBHD did a test drive and apparently you just cannot see the end of the nose from the driver’s seat. What a terrible design with no thought to the safety of anyone.
I have had a Model 3 for about 4 years now and I think it has generally been a very well-made car.
Isn’t that the case with most modern cars due to the downward sloping hoods?
Look, I applaud them for trying to be unique, but man that has to be the ugliest vehicle I’ve ever seen. As for concerns about it’s safety, I’d be concerned too considering how little space there appears to be between the driver and the front of the vehicle. Also, the last thing you want on a 30mph road is an acceleration pedal that immediately tries to show off how fast it can hit 60mph.
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.
“Unlike Europe, the U.S. doesn’t require cars be tested for safety before they are allowed to be sold to the public,” said David Zipper, a visiting fellow at Harvard University’s Kennedy School whose work focuses on transportation policy.
“We let car companies decide for themselves when it’s safe,” he explained.
I’m sorry, what???
self-regulation of industry like this is a lot more common than you’d probably like to think
It’s a three ton steel knife that does zero to sixty in three seconds, it’s literally designed to shred human bodies.
Clearly this is cause for more, bigger vehicles to protect the peds
