The CyberTruck hasn’t lasted a month before getting into a near catastrophic head-on collision (fortunately mostly side-swiped), injuring the driver, according to police.

In other words, a side swipe at moderate speed and the CyberTruck was totally cooked. Stick a fork in it.

Elon Musk of course got this wrong when he cruelly stoked audience laughter with the false statement:

If you’re ever in an argument with another car you will win.

Nope. Small sedan 1, CyberTruck 0.

The other car had a crushed left front fender but the driver didn’t have a scratch, which begs the question why was the Tesla driver hurt? The prevailing theory is that the CyberTruck has a serious safety design flaw, as identified by experts.

Tesla management has replaced engineered crumple zones with an untested theory of using a front underbody casting hoped to “break into small pieces”… meaning this crash showed exactly how energy still is being transferred to what is inside the vehicle, the Tesla-dummy behind the wheel.

The original 1970s design of this truck probably would have been safer. A design so bad that Curtis Brubaker openly mocks himself 40 years later:

Since I was a lot younger, with more time than brains, I apparently said: why not?
