The most amazing feature of the Cybertruck is that it can suddenly make everyone who never gave a rat's ass about pedestrian safety on pickup trucks suddenly care very much about standards that don't currently exist.
Wait truck's in America have no crumple zone laws? (Genuine question btw)
There are zero pedestrian impact standards. As for crumple zones, Glitzy is basing this evaluation on exterior styling and zero knowledge of the actual chassis construction. I'd wait for actual crash testing results.
In any case, trucks and large SUVs in America are held to lower standards than cars because they can be classified as "commercial vehicles"
Thanks, I had no idea
