The Cybetruck's obnoxious hood height[0] and curb weight[1] all but guarantees that it's dangerous for pedestrians. Not that singling out Cybetruck is completely fair, all large EVs are strictly worse for pedestrian safety due to their weight.

- grecy 3y agoThe Cybertruck is lighter than the Rivian and the F-150 Lightning. It's around 3,000lbs lighter than the electric Hummer. It's also lower than all of them. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46031051/2024-tesla-cybertruck-ford-f-150-lightning-rivian-r1t-specs-compared/ https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a46031051/2024-tesla-cyber...
- 1970-01-01 3y agoThe height is adjustable via air springs. It can ride lower, higher, or equal to those.
- grecy 3y agoIt can't ride at either of it's two highest settings when going above 15 and 25 mph respectively.
- kspacewalk2 3y agoSlightly lighter than Rivian R1 and roughly same weight as F-150 Lightning. But I agree, quite possibly not the absolute most dangerous vehicle on the road.
