It weighs almost 1100 lbs, and has a top speed of 19 MPH. It is *not* intended to be driven on highways. Did you even read the article?
Ever cart a few bags of groceries back home through a freezing rain on an e-Bike?
Why repeat absurd disinformation like this? Is it simply a way to virtue-signal a hatred for Musk?
To get to work I would have drive 46 miles then push that car another 4 miles to get to work and then repeat the process when I go home.
That's a beautiful vehicle!It took years, but we finally agree. I bought their '76 model new, and it spent more time in the shop than I did driving it. The mechanic -- an immigrant from Sicily -- said Fiat meant 'Fix It Again, Tony'.
Weighing 1100lbs is not a counter to my statement. I didn't say it literally weighs 700 lbs, I said it looks like it does. It resembles a very expensive Fisher-Price car. Y'know, like the peddle wagon for 5-year-olds―just scaled-up to adult size.
The fact of the matter is, the Cybertruck is legitimately one of the most dangerous vehicle on the road. It is nothing but sharp, harsh edges, on account of the rolled stainless steel and is comically heavy. It is also not street-legal in Europe and the UK. It's not even the only large vehicle on the road, just the most prominent one because you can see one coming from a mile away.
Was that a joke? The laws of physics -- specifically those involving momentum and inertia -- aren't based what something "looks like", but rather its actual mass.
The fact of the matter is you're promoting absurd disinformation:

I realize your lack of physics knowledge, but "comically heavy" increases the safety of vehicle occupants. And those exterior "sharp harsh edges" only matter to pedestrians -- and the Cybertruck has by far the best pedestrian-avoidance system on the road.
Ban SUVs. They block the view, they pollute worse than regular cars, and they are an abominable combination of a car on a truck body. Also, they kill children.Well luckily its not allowed on public roads
"Cars are weapons on wheels, they should all be destroyed" A certain character on SPEED RACER.
I'm saying SUVs, a subcategory of cars that has no redeemable reason for existing. I didn't say sedans, or small cars, or trucks which do have a good reason to exist. Stop trying to put words in my mouth."Cars are weapons on wheels, they should all be destroyed" A certain character on SPEED RACER.
Mud buckets, bathtubs and swimming pools also kill children; yet, both these and SUVs serve purposes. By your logic, we should all return to hunter gatherers, and live in caves. there is a Latin term, which translated to English is a reduction to absurdity, or words to that effect. In other words, by carrying your argument to its extreme, I have shown it to be absurd.
We live in a world of risk, of danger, and nothing can ever change that.
I merely took your argument to its logical end. you said that "[SUVs] kill children"; but so do bathtubs and swimming pools. You argue that they ought to be banned. Would that eliminate accidental deaths of children? Not hardly. In fact, SUVs protect children far more often than they kill them. The size & weight, etc., of SUVs make them safer for those riding in them, than smaller, lighter, vehicles. To me, that is a reasonable reason they exist, but there are other reasons.
SUVs serve far more purpose than those videogames you play daily. Let's ban those, shall we?
A great example of psychological rationalization, rather like an ugly woman claiming she prefers not being beautiful, as it saves her time and money primping.
I'm sure you likewise despise those who own mansions, yachts, private airplanes, and summer beach houses too. Envy isn't a good look.
I'm not envious, I just think those things are a waste of good money and (in the case of beach houses) also a waste of land and resources. You do know the oceans are going to wash away those houses, right?
I suggest you start being honest with yourself. People invariably consider anything more than what they can afford -- whether they make $50K/yr or $50M -- "wasteful". Psychologists call this the "sour grapes effect".
You do know the oceans are rising much **slower** than they were 15,000 years ago, right? And that they'll continue to do so, until our next ice age.
