Add to the fact that the cybertruck doesn't have crumple zones, which are a basic safety feature in practically all cars and trucks made since the 2000s.

If that thing hits you as a pedestrian or if you're in a car, you will lose. Only having your own car crumple to absorb the impact will do little to dissuade the 7000 lb behemoth barreling towards you, either in a frontal collision or worse, a driver side impact.

Doesn't have crumple zones? How does this thing possibly meet safety standards?
