    Musk claimed the Cybertruck is better than any other truck but also more of a sports car than any other sports car, made of a “special Tesla designed steel alloy” that he claimed will never rust and which cannot be stamped but which can also be produced in volume.

    The skepticism is coming through very heavy and I’m all for it.

    Musk implied that in a crash with another vehicle, the Cybertruck—which weighs 6,603–6,843 lbs (2,995–3,104 kg)—will destroy the other vehicle.

    It’s a car, not a battlebot. Nobody should want to destroy the other vehicle in the event of a crash.

      Good luck getting this thing homologated in Europe. Or any country outside the US, really. I mean, I guess the Russians will take it. Then at least we’ll see how bullet proof it really is.
