The "obliterated" is decades of safety research into how to make the vehicle itself absorb the impact, reducing the forces applied to the people inside.
I have no idea what cybertruck does for safety, but I'm sure somebody was looking into it.
consider, however, not dying in a minor fender bender is gay. why you trying to stay alive, to have sex with men?
True sigmas only ever allow themselves to be penetrated by their steering column
it's the one time when capitalism aligned with safety because even the slightest bump costs millionty dollars to repair but that also happens to save lives too
I fucking love science
Has 0 understanding of basic Newtonian mechanics. That energy's gotta go somewhere, folks!
Actually, if you don't wear a seatbelt, you'll be thrown clear of the crash to safety! It's simple physics.And with the bazingatruck's impenetrable glass, you can be smashed like a bug on your own windshield lol
"Built like a tank" just means all of the kinetic energy from an impact gets absorbed by the bones and organs of the squishy occupants inside.
Both of your legs breaking from being t-boned on the passenger side probably isn't supposed to happen.
the glass should shatter, its an alternate way for you to get out/be rescued if the door is stuck ffs. you aren't the President.

Maybe it's not bad that it's shatterproof? /J
It's taking out it's owners tho, soooo... Maybe just let them drive their steel coffins?
alternately it becomes a cyberglobe with dead rich people in it if it drives into a lake or something
Looks like Tesla are still catching up to 1950s level technology.
The Mercedes-Benz patent number 854157, granted in 1952, describes the decisive feature of passive safety. [Mercedes engineer Béla] Barényi questioned the opinion that had prevailed until then that a safe car had to be rigid. He divided the car body into three sections: the rigid non-deforming passenger compartment and the crumple zones in the front and the rear.

There's also a bunch of reddit threads from around the time of the original Cybertruck announcement full of Musklickers saying of course it'll be a super safe vehicle and dumping on anyone who even suggests caution.
What if the crumple zone was the other car though? I drive away unscathed after you crumple like a fool!
watch this, kid... when these two bazinga mobiles get up to 88 miles per hour and collide, you're going to see some serious shit!
Firemen will tell you this, often the people inside the more fucked up looking car are better off than the car that looks more intact, it means the car probably absorbed more of the impact than the passengers. A fireman literally told me this when my Boy Scout troop did a tour of his hall.
I was working on an ambualnce before that round of safety features was widely adopted. It was a shock for a few years to see cars that dissolved and largely unharmed people. It is rare to see catastrophic injuries they way we used to so that has been a good change overall.
Can't fail the test if it doesn't get tested in the first place.

737 Max was the same thing, and we all know how that went. One of the side effects of the hollowing out of the public sector under neo-liberalism that results in "self-regulation".
our company does it's own health inspections. you can guess how that goes down
never seen federal in my entire career and only see the state guy once every few years and hes bought off
The one time I saw a federal regulator at my last job, I was coached for literally a week on exactly what to tell him by management. Day of, I just ignored them and pointed out all the obvious safety issues once we were in the private meeting. No advisories were given based off of my advice anyway. :yea:
my only directive when i was a manager and a usda guy came in was to immediately run to get the manager on duty and basically flee the scene lol minimize who contacts them.
probalbly for reasons like what you did! because i would have brought some stuff up too
we had USDA inspectors at the pork plant I worked at for a few months... they were required to make the rounds every shift
i only ever saw them maybe a handful of times and each time they didn't actually walk through the packaging dept to inspect anything.. they just came, checked all the boxes on the sheets hanging on the wall at the entrance/exit, and disappeared again
Critical support tbh I say make the cyber truck more dangerous
only if it's more dangerous to shitlibs and other brainworm-addled folks
this thing is gonna kill a LOT of kids though
I looked at this at the time; they only test vehicles they want to, essentially. They don't HAVE to test anything, and they frequently don't test low production cars, sports cars, exotics, etc
I imagine at some point they will test the bazingamobile, but only because of how high profile it is and how frequent things like this will be
Fucking insane that it's not mandated for a car to be allowed to be produced. God fucking damnit I hate car brains!!!
Ngl I assumed crash safety testing would be mandatory, I'm surprised it isn't
How are they even allowed to sell it? What the fuck is the point then?
There basically are no safety regulations
If it's got a mirror and a seatbelt it's good to go
They probably pass the exact wording of the test in ways that don't actually help anything during an accident.
Thank goodness the equipment is alright! Pretty sure legs grow back, but I'm no doctor or anything
American. Tesla is the bastion of American ,"innovation" and has the value of tons of capital tied to it, therefore it cannot face consequences for wrongdoing. If a foreign company tried something 1/10th this negligent they would never be allowed to sell cars in the US again.
whats the point of making it not crumple if the insurance company is going to call it totalled anyway?
Yeah 10mph faster and she would have been dead or at least paraplegic. This is fucking terrifying. Just look at how deep the crumple extends on the Nissan. It is not made to be hit by a steel wall.
i literally cannot roast the cybertruck harder than its own fans. it's not possible
Either they're happy it breaks their legs or thrilled cops are abusing their power to pull them over just to take a look. Anything we say to make fun of them they've already gone beyond.
Wait I can't tell which parts are destroyed and which ones just look like that naturally
