Elon ordered a rolling fortress be created for some imaginary society collapse. Turns out you're more likely to die being trapped in your vehicle than by failing to forcibly keep people out. Pretty horrific, and really goes to show how safety standards have some glaring holes in them.Cybertruck crash report says witness could not open door to save victims

garbage looking death traps
You should send it a bottle of hot vodka via air delivery, as a welcome gift of course.Welp, we have our first CT in the neighborhood, a red wrap. The house it's parked at is one we refer to as the auto shop because it is freaking huge with a freaking huge multi-car, dual RV garage and the architectural grace of an auto body shop.

saw my first Fisker Ocean a couple days ago
having doors that open and windows that can break is a good thing.
Description of the Defect: The Cybertruck is equipped with a cosmetic applique along the exterior of the vehicle, known as the cant rail, which is an assembly comprised of an electrocoated steel stamping joined to a stainless steel panel with structural adhesive. The cant rail assembly is affixed to the vehicle with fasteners. On affected vehicles, the cant rail stainless steel panel may delaminate at the adhesive joint, which may cause the panel to separate from the vehicle.
Description of the Safety Risk: If the cant rail stainless steel panel separates from the vehicle while in drive, it could create a road hazard for following motorists and increase their risk of injury or a collision.
Identification of Any Warning that can Occur: A delaminated cant rail panel may create a detectable noise inside the cabin. Separately, the customer may observe the cant rail panel coming loose or separating from the vehicle.
Yeah, that's bullshit design that has killed and will kill more people. In an emergency, people don't think straight, and realistically, no consumer is going to be training enough to be able to find some random panel or flap to magic open door.Inside, there are emergency release handdes...IF you know how they work & where they are, as they are hidden by a flap inside the door storage area. In an emergency situations, that would be tough, especially if you're a passenger who doesn't know that information who is in a panic or hurt or the car is sinking or the truck is on fire:
So it's no exoskeleton? Oh my god, surprised picachu face!Interesting that they call the exterior steel piece a "cosmetic applique":
From a first-responder standpoint...no visible door handles, "Armor Glass" windows, etc.

My condolences. Every time I am driving around I see one of the damn things. At least the wrapped ones are more palatable.Welp, we have our first CT in the neighborhood, a red wrap.

I think my 2006 Accord with new tires could do this lol
Those mini trucks are actually pretty cool and have basically as much bed space if more than full size trucks. Wish they actually made them here. You can import them but it's a lot of trouble and you end up paying it's value in fees, taxes etc throughout the process.
