All full-size American pickups are pedestrian killers, particularly of toddlers.[1] There’s nothing unique about the Cybertruck in this respect.
They also are more than twice as likely to kill the occupants of other vehicles in crashes.[2]

So be mad about the Cybertruck, by all means. But all these vehicles are killers.
