    If it is too big of a risk it should not be certified as road legal. But then I see yanks driving stuff that would never be allowed on the road in other countries.

    Freedom to maim and cripple your opponent.

      This thing is huge, it does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, has sharp angles, and its styling does not seem to target the sensible end of the market… It’s like an industrial strength pedestrian destroyer.

          Probably about the same thing as any other vehicle.

          Jesus are we really gonna pretend this is the first vehicle that would obliterate a pedestrian in a collision?

        It’s actually a pussy-magnet.

        Even the pasty-facediest of incels will have no problems getting laid showing up in one of these bad boys.

        It’s just how the world works 🤷

            Comon… sarcasm is not always obvious… but his comment was sarcasm. It has to be. I choose to believe it is.

          I would like to hear from the women of Lemmy- how many of you would have sex with a man just because they drove a Cybertruck?
