The part that scares me the most is: imagine being hit by this absolute massive piece of tank as a pedestrian. This thing is sharp and stiff all around.
@@ryboi1337 1:49 Guy is saying a fist is more dangerous than being stabbed with a knife. More surface area means more dissipation. The entire suite of crumpling features of a car impacting a wall with its full mass does indeed have a different display of dissipation than a car impacting a barrier that actuates 1/2 to 1/3 of a car's crumpling capabilities with its full mass behind it. The former was the standard, we could argue is the best case scenario, before someone conceived of the latter decades later, arguably a real world scenario, and car engineers and manufacturers had to devise better means of supplying more crumpling capabilities and reinforcement for the event where less was available. Former standard did not test side impacts, someone realized t-boning happens and started to test it, and since doing so we've implemented side airbags. Analogize this statement with the hypothetical of if Tesla didn't present a side impact test and imagine a youtuber saying 'It's much easier to dissipate energy with a side impact....than not being crashed into the side' okay the analogy sort of falls apart, sort of like the statement where a third of the car dissipates more energy than the full car falls apart.
I was trying to give it a shot but then you said "it has all wheel steer so it doesnt have a rear axle" and i just cant now, calling everyone out for being a fake expert while being a fake expert lmao
the cyber truck is also fucking edge galore its like a drving razor, the hummber ev is heavier yes but at least it wont CUT THE PERSON ITS RUNNING OVER IN HALF
@@Ezmurloc dawg a bumper with curved edges has a chance to not kill the ped. look at the normal trucks and the cybertruck. do you get my point, lacerations lead to blood loss, hey what a coincidence the cybertruck has edges right where the ribcage and femur is. mind you that's where the lungs and the largest artery is respectively. fucks sakes
FYI it's actually harder to dissipate the force for the front overlap test as the force is focused on one corner of the vehicle. This is why the overlap test was introduced - vehicles had been acing the frontal crash test, but in the real world, occupants were getting injured badly.
@@ashwinnaidoo796nah I think he just explained improperly. He meant the small overlap is obviously going to crunch in more than a full frontal, not that it’s easier to pass. But in the real world, a full squared frontal is insanely rare unless you have no self preservation.
This always reminds me of how people are always talking about how “old cars were built tougher” and showcase one of them hitting a barrier and the car basically shrugging it off but the person inside has turned into paste
No, older car isn't tougher and they're not dangerous because of that. It's not crumple zone that's slowing the passenger down (you wouldn't want that), but mainly airbags. Considering that most car had its chasis stopped before passenger hit the airbag (including cybertruck), there's basically no difference on how large/long it takes to crumple as long as the passenger cell remain rigid. An effective crumple zone is mainly there to prevent passenger cell deformation from crushing its passenger (cybertruck chasis is pretty strong, so...) I like how so many people just see the crash test and goes "ohhh, energy transfer bad", like they even know what they're talking about. It's middle school physics man...
Exactly. It's true thatl frontal isn't that bad - bc the Cybertruck has traditional aluminum crumple zone. For that side impact, you'd rather be in the Ford that "looks" worse.
The old cars had one thing going for them .... mass. I had a big car. A 1977 Lincoln town car with a big ole 460 big block. Thing was like a tank. Thick sheet metal. Empty weight (no driver, no gas) was something like 4880 lbs. Of course when a car like that was to hit an econo box weighing in like 1/2 the weight, the favor is going to be in favor of the large car. One thing older cars were really poor at was rollover. The A & B pillars on some of the older cars were really thin and flimsy in a rollover. The pillars on new cars are made to support the whole weight of the vehicle in a roll over that puts the car upside down.
NOTHING built today will be operable in 40 years. Almost everything operable today built 40 plus years ago, will still be operable. It's humans fault we are so soft we have to nerf our engineering to protect the ones nature is trying to eliminate from the gene pool.
Fun fact: The German "Car License / Class B" allows you to drive vehicles up to 3.5 Tons in weight. This includes the vehicle, driver, passenger and everything else you put into the car. thus, vehicles like the Hummer EV couldn't even be driven without the small (literal) truck license. This would also make the "Beast" problematic. That would make just under 400kg of added load kinda making it super impractical. (metric tonnes)
It can be "typisiert" to 3.5 tons. That is usually made for recreational vehicles. As long as the weight of the car including all passengers stays below 3.5 tons. 2995 + 5 x 80 = 3.395 kg. Acceptable. But then you could not tow anything.
Same in Italy so I guess this is an EU-wide rule. Max weight with regular class B driving license is 3.5 tons including everything, however it is +/- 5%, you can add another 150 kg allowance
Don't forget, that vehicles with more than 3,5t of max weight are limited to 80km/h in Europe. So the Cyber Truck being 3,1t but having a load capacity of 1t in the truck bed equals 4,1t of max weight. C1 class drivers license needed and limitation to 80km/h.
@@theagentsmith Its still more with a trailer. That means CT must be a truck with truck license and 80 (100 in Poland...) top speed. I just calculated M3, MY, CT on my longest route i drive regularly. The CT is 2 hours slower than the 3. But fully loaded. And as a truck it does not have to follow the passenger car UN/ECE rules. It will be interesting to see how this conundrum will be solved.
@@CerberusTenshi the Cyber Truck will most likely be classified as car though. And the max total weight limit will be reduced to 3500 kg. That is on paper, if people will actually keep to that... probably not.
This is the same reasons bike helmets and body armor are built the way they are, they're supposed to crumple to slow the impact, not stop all movement instantly.
Every crash/collapse/recession provides an equal market opportunity if you are properly prepared and knowledgeable. I've seen people amass up to $800,000 during crises and even with ease in a bad economy. Someone has undoubtedly become extremely wealthy as a result of the crash.
I agree that there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience.

@@move2003ny Honestly, I've never witnessed such things personally. Guess it's a rather rare case after all. But since you're working for an insurance company, I bet you get to see a lot of weird accident cases within a year.
Because it seems like many americans drive with on foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake pedal. I've never ever mistaken the pedals because my right foot is the only foot operating those pedals.
the difference between the big stupid trucks and the cybertruck is that the bigger trucks will still crumple and fold somewhat if you hit another car or are hit by another car. meanwhile the cybertruck is just a steel brick that when it hits you, is just gonna pancake you and possibly with the sharp corners even tear your car open or apart.. I never believed in the notion that the cybertruck would harm the occupants inside in a crash. especially with seatbelts and modern airbags.. but what I do believe is that this thing is gonna cause massive damage to any car it wrecks into, and the people in it. an f150 will still crumple somewhat in a wreck. also this thing being called a tank is a joke. the windows aren't even bullet proof and its only proofed to small handgun calibers. the cybertruck is just a hypebeast vehicle
the scariest thing in this video is 16000 pedal misapplications annually in the US alone. like, i’m not a very experienced driver, have been driving for just over two years. however, the thought of the existence of so many people doing “>press pedal >car not doing what intended >press same pedal harder” truly scares the shit out of me
@@Rocketman0407 Well they won't get the "Darwin Award" if they sit in a Cybertruck because they can just plow over pedestrians or small cars without even getting a scratch. It seems insane to me that you need a special license to drive a moped or scooter but not for this! I guess preventing someone from harming themselves is more important then preventing them from harming others.
It’s not about how the car holds up in a crash but its ability to provide the lowest deceleration possible so that your fragile human body doesn’t experience 100G forces.
Like he said in the vid, with how heavy/Dense it is with such a Low center of gravity you can be assured that just about anything it hits is getting yeeted. Very few things are liable to be able to stop that thing on a dime so deceleration is probably not going to be as big of a danger as you might think...
Your assuming we are hitting a immovable object. In my ram I hit someone going and 10mph with a 10 tone dump trailer hooked up and their vehicle didn’t effect my momentum at all. They where send flying 10 feet and the car was like half the length it was before but my truck only had a dent and a bit of a twist to the bumper.
The human body can survie 88gs of force in an insta stop to 0 speed, the air force tested it in the 60s F1 pilots can survive a 150mph crash into a wall, even with the crumpling zone, what do you think experience more Gs, mr Joe crashing at 50mph or an F1 pilot at 150mph? Honestly what keeps you alive is the passenger area not crumpling and the airbags softening the impact, the crumpling zone is nore of a marketing tactic for "cheap materias that give up easily"
well, if you open your eyes, and watch the proper comparison with the lightning 150, you will see, that those passengers go splat just as fast mate, Just don't drive like a fuck head
Honestly the fact that so many people have a license scares me. I mean until we have better public transport it’s probably essential in some situations, but at the same time the sheer danger of bad drivers feels like it’s ignored. We kind of just accept that a lot of car accidents occur without looking at the driving capabilities of people who have been in multiple accidents.
@@clintpreslar452 It's about the same argument people have about whether we have souls or not. I just say if you are convinced that you have no soul, then maybe you don't. Maybe this world does consist of something metaphorically comparable to players and NPCs 🤭
I lost my 18 year old Jeep to a Ford F150 that was backing out of his driveway as I was passing on the road. He completely fucked up my passenger door and my car was totaled. His truck, however, only had bumper and rear light damage. It was so sad but absolutely confirms everything you've said about trucks and how they're becoming bigger and stronger.
On all new trucks, there seems to be no limit on the height of headlights. People have become very complacent about dimming high beams and now with these trucks, blinding headlights have become a huge problem. You might consider doing a video about that problem too.
The headlights are in the bumper, the horizontal line of the cybertruck is a daytime running light. So for that truck specifically at least it won't be a problem.
I also have found this to be a big problem, especially in Australia when people add suplumentry driving lights. I have to hit the brakes and stop because I litterally cannot see what is going on around me, I'm blind.
Yeap. Not sure if there is a limit for height in every country but I can confirm this is getting to be a problem, especially with more powerful headlamps. I have to drive on Sunday's at evening going back home in the motorway and I did this with an older Passat but gave up using that car because all the SUVs full with weekend luggage would blind me while overtaking and started using only my C4 which is much higher....It worked fine but now I am starting to have the same problem with that car too. SUVs and such have much hire headlamps and so when they overtake you, the light reflects on your driver's side rearview mirror and tends to blind you. I don't have a problem when they are behind me, the auto dimming mirror solves that and I also don't have a problem when at a highway and they are coming in the opposite direction but when they overtake you in a dual carriage motorway it is terrible.
Some of it is complacency, some of it is that modern LED lights are often a lot brighter and a lot more directional than the old ones were and a lot of them are just not aimed properly. I remember when I needed to re-aim my motorcycle headlights after changing the bulbs and the local regulations here are extremely hard to understand. The gist is that they should be pointed slightly down, but by how much isn't something that is at all clear, especially with the increased variety of vehicles that people are riding around in.
"the driver kept pressing the accelerator thinking it was the break" How do you even get a driving license if that's your level of control over your car?
I think it could happen to anyone, although it’s probably a pretty low probability. You have to keep in mind that when it happens, there’s going to be some intial confusion and the inner ear can be really deceptive in those situations. Hell, there have been some passenger jet crashes because a pilot was so convinced by his inner ear that he refused to believe what the instruments were telling them. I understand the sentiment, it’s really difficult to believe that your brain can malfunction sometimes, but we are all imperfect organisms that evolved through an imperfect process on an African Savanna
@@vinsanity982Let's just decelerate from 20 to 0 mph...oh wait, that looks exactly the same as if I'm driving with 200 mph seeing houses and cars flying by not being able to steer properly 😂
Except the fact the steel used... is stated by the company to be not resistant to corrosion at all and as the steel is naked... anything that gets on it can and will eat it.
Stainless steel is merely corrosion resistant, high Chromium and Manganese content helps, but in the end, you have inhomogenities in chemical composition at crystalline grain boundaries, where the corrosion sets in and spreads. Works even better if you scratch up the surface, since that will become the new nucleation point for corrosion. Sure, when compared to regular steel it's going to take a few months for it to start to rust instead of instantly, but dipping the parts in a zinc bath could dramatically improve the corrosion resistance.
@@lich109 not actual rust of the panel but surface stains from airborne iron particles landing on the vehicle during manufacturing and shipping. The panels themselves are not rusting.

The reason the Cyber Truck is banned in the UK is because any smaller scale car crash can be fatal to the person on the receiving end of the cyber truck. Its secure but it will wreck another car.
Exactly This car is very safe such a big impulse won’t come to a stop suddenly. So that point where the passangers brain is separating from the skull when crashing is not important (as long as u don’t drive against another tank)
Good nic. Anyway, u know what they say about men with big cars? You know what they say in Africa being the only thing that is not big in America? Yes u know
thats such a weird reason to ban a vehicle. Busses and trucks exist there dont they not? but believe it or not if those massive vehicles get into accidents with smaller cars, the smaller cars are also gonna get destroyed so like what?
Former paramedic, current insurance risk manager here. Quite the discussion in the comments. Many good points, but also a few understandable misunderstandings and some considerations missing altogether. I just want to inform everyone about "the third collision". The first is the vehicle hitting something, the second is the body hitting the interior of the car (which seat belts and airbags deal with) and the third is the inner organs crashing inside the body. So, the faster these are travelling when the body itself suddenly stops, the more dead you'll be. Ligaments will rip straight through the organs they keep in place. Organs will smash against your rib cage or even the skin that is suddenly stationary because it has hit the dash or hopefully the airbag. This is what the crumple zone deals with. It's there to make the breaking distance of your body as long as possible, while the rigid cell around the interior tries to stop physical objects spearing through or smashing your whole body to pulp in one, rather swift, go. The crumple zone is about reducing the G force your body is subjected to in a crash. The seat belts help you slow down more in tandem with the car, stopping you from smashing into the dash and the steering wheel. An airbag helps cushioning the last bit of retardation. Also alleviating the stretching strain on your spine. (This is also helped by the active seat belts in modern cars, that strap you in just as the crash starts - or before, in the case of very modern cars - and then it will release a bit of slack, first and foremost so your ribs will not break and puncture your lungs and/or your heart. Yes, they have thought of that, too.) But an airbag where seat belts are not in use (or you sit too close to the wheel) is now a double Mike Tyson punch in the face. 600kgs vs 300kgs, or thereabouts. Not recommended. I worked at a crash site where a family of five in an American style van (Chevrolet, I think) collided with a Hyundai Accent. When the difference in weight is that big, the outcome is almost given, and the weight adds to the safety in that one instance. In fact, the 12-year old in the van ONLY survived because they had a trailer - a camper van - behind them, pushing the van forwards another few inches before it stopped, reducing the G forces on the family in the van. This according to the surgeon who opened up the kid to deal with internal bleeding. In this case, the Hyundai was stopped short AND pushed back a bit, making the G forces even higher than if they had just rammed into a mountain. They did not survive. Neither would anyone in the case of two very heavy cars with extremely rigid bodies colliding at 60mph, both stopping short. In theory, if they were identical in every way and one of them were heavier than the other - or even travelled at a higher speed than the other! - the people in that car would be better off than those in the slower OR lighter car. But looking at traffic at large, everyone driving as fast as possible in a car as heavy as possible is not gonna make us all safer. With regards to older cars, I have seen enough steering columns lodged in broken chests to prefer newer models for long distance travel. I drive my veteran carefully for many reasons. Sorry for writing such a long comment, but even this is a fragment of all the factors and aspects of collision safety. It is a tremendously complex field if you want to be detailed about it.
Yeah, I’m very peevy in my car around heavy vehicles for this reason. I prefer smaller cars, but that doesn’t seem to be an American trend. Stroking the ego for large vehicles that barely get used for their intended purpose. Good job, Murica.

1:53 bro the cybertruck not only lost its rear axle in a front crash, but the driver’s neck looks like it could’ve snapped, that’s pretty dang rough bro, ngl
Yup. Because it is so strong and rigid and not made to absorb an impact like any other car all that energy travels. And just because the back half did not crumple does not mean anything. Which is what this momo is implying. It just increases the G force on the occupants. This guy is laughable.
When I was still working as an engineer in that specific area, strikter pedestrian safety regulations for the US market were already anounced. I would have to check what the current regulations are in the US. One thing I can tell you, is that you will never see one of those things on european streets. By design there is absolutely no chance that they will pass current regulations.
How are pedestrian safety regulationsfor small trucks? Also it would still be able to be driven on the streets, the Mustang front and hood design f.e. had to be redesigned ( lower nose, no hood vents ) so it could be sold here but you could still get US imports registered before official sales.
In my neck of the woods, the CT's curb weight requires you to have a commercial driver's licence (same with the F150) - so it will likely never sell (never mind the fact that we simply have zero EV infra).
From what I heard is that at least for France the tesla truck will not be legal as is on different levels : the tint on the glass (easy fix), the weight (debatable, not sure yet), the sharp edges of the body and that one will be most likely the reason why will never see that ugly thing in France and most likely the whole EU.
An engineer and you spelled stricter "strikter"? Were you engineering Tonka trucks by chance? I don't think tesla was designing this for europe because they disregarded certain things that would make it legal in europe as far as shape and weight. Its designed for the US market, clearly. They love massive overkill trucks, and this is bulletproof... Personally i think the cybertruck was created to expand Teslas fan base to those who are a little more on the redneck side. As soon as some back country folk get to unload a magazine in the side of a cybertruck, they're gonna fall in love.
I've personally witnessed two instances of pedal misapplication. In one case I was standing on the side of a driveway and suddenly the large vehicle shot out backwards and missed me by a few inches.
basically these dumb people are on their phones not focusing while driving and go to hit the brake and hit the accelerator or vice versa. and if you go to hit the brakes hard in a tesla and you hit the gas instead that instant torque slings you into the nearest thing. @@darthtardis5465

When i realised how ridiculously massive and heavy trucks (and cars in general) are getting nowadays, my respect for the old, small but surprisingly practical trucks like the Datsun, old f-150 trucks and even the Japanese kei trucks got higher than ever.
I duly concur. Several years ago, I found and bought a 2004 Tacoma, regular cab with over 56k miles, in great condition. Glad I did when I did then. To this day, it still has under 100k miles (typically just my work truck, to and from work), and still runs great (doing all the maintenance and upkeep myself). Thought about selling it a few times (have gotten some great offers for it), but then they just don't make these smaller trucks anymore. Only thing I would've wished it was was a 5-speed instead. Ah well. No loss there. Some of these newer, bigger trucks look pretty darn good. But there is something about the smaller trucks of yesteryears that just can't be beat.
@@harryv6752 ironically, those new bigger trucks have smaller flatbeds despite their massive size. Why? Because nowadays, a truck is more of a status symbol rather than a workhorse. People buy these trucks (like the cybertruck featured in the video) because they think it makes them look badass.

@@Enola_Straight "makes them look badass" sums it up perfectly. The CT is an amazing feat of engineering, but the people buying and driving it won't be working in construction lol. It'll be those who bask in the sun shining out of Elon's butthole, where everything he touches is amazing, who will be lining up to buy this truck. It will be massive in the USA and I imagine the Arab countries will buy it by the shitload as well. Europe? Well, we have smaller streets and less worship of the massive car (it still exists don't worry) so it won't be appearing over here in it's present incarnation anyway. We have all these silly regulations to protect other road users from pedestrians to cars, and the CT hitting a normal car would be instant death to anyone in the non steel vehicle. As for pedestrians, bikers, cyclists? Sliced and diced baby with those sexy sharp edges. But USA is #1 so anything goes.

@@Enola_Straight Yeah, totally. Faking the funk but really not about the funk at all. Had a buddy who bought a 2022 Forerunner that he decked it out. Raised it. Threw on a winch, light bar and light pods, some big wheels, gnarly tires, a roof rack, and was still planning on doing more to it. I used to clown on him like, "Bro, so when are you takin' that thing off road? You doing all this to it and it ain't even been on dirt yet. You're not even an outdoors guy." He'd typically respond with, "Just waiting on you." And I'd throw back to him, "Sh1t. That's YOUR car. I'm always out there on the weekends. Where' YOU at?" It was funny.

As an European, the first time I saw an American truck in real life I was like: "WTF, how a car has become so fucking big?" while sitting on my 335i nearly touching the floor. I think the height of my car was literally the size of his wheels. Absolutely gigantic.
Having any truck somewhere near the size of a F150 (length and width) or bigger can't even get to my house. They would not be able to take some of the 90degr. corners on the narrow roads of the town (mostly build 1500 and earlier). Delivery vans already have a hard time. Trucks/lorries/semitrucks can drop off their cargo outside of the city-center and electric vans take care of the logistics for the final km(s). Works perfectly fine and makes for very calm pedestrian living environment without noisy engines and exhaust fumes where people can sit outside their house and safely cross the street without having to look at metal boxes on wheels everywhere. We have cars, but they are smaller and kept out of sight whenever possible. Infrastructure for pedestrians, bikes, buses and trains gets the same or higher attention as for cars.
german here, I rarely ever see American pickups drive through here but when they do they barely even fit. Saw one parked at the side of the street and it was partially blocking the road while all other cars were behind the line. American trucks are built for wide ass American car dependent infrastructure roads, they don't always work on European pedestrian friendly streets

While I agree, and often see similar misguided marketing about aircraft grade aluminum, there is such a thing as passing the metal through the same testing procedures it would go through to qualify for use in an application. Remember they're only stating "grade" and then it's whether that is true or not.

As someone who rides my bike everywhere and goes home at 11pm I have started riding with sunglasses because of how bright the headlights are on most vehicles, the problem is that at the end of the day I'm forced to ride on the road in some areas, and being blinded every 30 seconds by a passing truck driving with their brights on is probably the worst part of my day, they don't even need it, there's brand new streetlights on this road
There are also stupid people using their high beam headlights when cars are coming on the other side. A reminder to those people: the law strictly prohibits this behavior. I got very unlucky recently because of that.
I would guess they are not the high beams some or most of the time. its so easy to upgrade your headlights. My wifes Lacrosse falls into this really bright category with a simple HID light upgrade. I didnt know what I was doing at the time of order. They are being downgraded soon.
@@Andrew-FKF HID lights have the benefit that you can still see the pattern, but with the high beams it's just one giant glare. In my unlucky case, it was that one giant glare.
I recently got in a car accident on my bike. The car ran me over from the side, when i was crossing the sidewalk, it was going around 15 km/h, so not at a huge speed. It was a škoda with a normal lover curved front end which enabled me to just roll onto the hood with no serious injuries sustained. If the cybertruck hit me in the exact same way, it would have been way worse due to the high front bumper and razor edge. I am seriousely surprised as to how such a dangerous design is legal.
As a German, it just puzzles me... what's the point of having a fast acceleration, if you can only ever drive the car at a crawl? Literally any moderately decent car can do 200 km/h or more. Doesn't matter if it's a hatchback, a minivan, a roadster or whatever. I used to own a Kia Picanto. 65 HP, and a top speed of 160 km/h. It weighed 850 kg, and was fine for just getting from A to B, if you were okay with cruising at a casual 130 km/h - whioch is already 10 MPH over the US speed limit. That tiny little car could basically tackle any standard US road situation with ease. So what's the point of having those giant trucks and massive motors? Seems absolutely pointless.
Ah, but you haven't taken into account American logic: Driving a 1500kg hatchback at 200kph = Not Manly ❌ Driving a 3000kg truck with the same carrying capacity at 100kph = Manly ✅ Ich verstehe es auch gar nicht.
Perhaps you need to be on public roads in the US to understand. People in well handling vehicles often travel at speeds in excess of 80MPH, but then come upon those driving slower, and especially when those slower drivers won't get out of the passing lane, there is a need to maneuver around and quickly speed back up. Further with trucks, the torque and HP is a function of towing/hauling capacity. While it is true that many owners never use their trucks to their full potential, they are still designed to be capable of it for those purposes where it is useful. Frankly I could say the same about most EVs if it weren't for the utility of trucks, that it seems rather silly to design them with power plants that can accelerate from 0 to 60MPH in under 10 seconds when on public roads they just need to keep up with everyone else, and yet sports cars exist which are even less useful, but at least more visually appealing.
if liveleak has taught me anything, it's that chinamen are absolute geniuses at turning good things into absolute trainwrecks. but yeah, special licensing won't do shit without making other problems even worse. a far better solution is one that tesla are already moving towards, that being the use of ai in the cars, since ai are actually reliable, and because it would cost significantly less to install an ai into some threshold of the percentage of cars on the road, vs forcing every single person who drives to take some test from a slow af government agency or whatever.
the thing that scares me the most about these is, i drive a VW beetle convertible. Its a small car. Meanwhile, Tesla literally suggested to people to remove their side mirrors for looks. In a 3 ton truck. edit: I am well aware there are cameras which are meant to replace the physical mirrors. I am also an auto technician who has seen many cars, some only a few years old, with broken cameras and sensors. I like cameras and sensors as a backup, but do not want to rely on them.
At least, the cameras remain, so it's not that big difference than any modern semi with the camera mirrors. The question is, where are you going to see the picture from those cameras. I hope, not on the center screen, which would be stupid AF.
This azzhole's crap vehicles have killed biker buds. They stop traffic at will in San Francisco and other areas so the alien big buck boy can test his unsafe products. There is a vid of a bus driver pounding on the hood of one because it kept messing up his schedule. They have to wait until a Musk-y geek comes along and retrieves their pile of woe. They aren't that great for the environment during their life cycle and you'd best not be in an accident when one catches on fire near you. They can reignite for days. That's why they keep any fire suppression blankies used on scene with the tow company so the crap pile won't burn up their yard.
??? As much criticisms as Tesla deserves... this is NOT one of them. Removing mirrors is to make the car more aerodynamic, the whole electric car segment has been trying to get rid of mirrors in favor of camera/monitor in order to gain more efficiency... This should have been done a long time ago with gas cars as well, but efficiency is nowhere near as critical for gas car buyers, and so the regulation has stayed requiring them..
I live in the Czech Republic and sometimes see imported trucks like F150, and they are effing HUGE. I am always super cautious around them, and I cannot even comprehend how you guys in the US can drive around these things daily. Be safe you all.
That's because you drive Fiat , 😂Scoda or Trabant size clown cars for gas economy because fuel is equivilant to what? $7.00+ a gallon. If you as an older person can exit one of these vehicles GOOD ON YOU! At 6'4" I own a PT Cruiser , Nissan Rogue and a F150 crew cab pu. The Nissan is horrible as for passenger or a driver PT is a convertible so rear seat is only an option unless you have kids and is not as bad to exit so guess which one gets used the most?

I would wait for independent crash testing, it's hard to say by eye how the Cybertruck performs. That being said, Cybertruck appears to have a shorter period of slowing down the passenger compartment in the fair comparison with F-150, which means greater forces on the passengers.
@@deus1655 Which is primarily limited by the length of the crumple zone. Strength is the only other significant variable, and determines the smoothness and slope of the deceleration: too weak and there is a sudden spike of deceleration when the crumple zone 'bottoms out', too strong and the deceleration is too rapid to make much difference to the forces on the passengers.
The Cybertruck is made of "space grade stainless steel" just like how the V2 rocket's wire mesh that kept the insulation in place was "aerospace grade"

I can answer this for you. Inexperience in one field does not mean you're inexperienced in others.

I've got 5 years behind the wheel of my Tesla - almost exclusively driven in 1 pedal mode. I also have an ICE suv that (shocker) requires both pedals be used. It takes a tiny, insignificant, momentary lapse in muscle memory - not attention - muscle memory, and bam, you are now rocketing forward. I've had it happen once, for about a tenth of a second, and I nearly drove into traffic. One pedal creeping forward, decided I wouldn't make a gap safely, released the accelerator (causing full regen braking) and thought 'I wont stop in time with just regen' and put my foot down abruptly thinking it was the brake - since I was currently feeling braking forces while my foot was on *a* pedal. That's all it takes.
you’re absolutely right, i live in Germany and for a (import) cybertruck you would actually need a special truck/semi license (everything over 3500kg max weight). I‘m not scared about the size and the weight though. i‘m just scared (even over here) about the stupidity of people being allowed to drive… driving licenses should include regular actual driving training mandatory for everybody that wants to keep their license.
You also need trains to be the main method of transportation since the vast majority of people inevitably don’t have what it takes to always follow safety rules on the road.
@@oceanthresher6184 thats probably what teslas first „non“-crashtest ad suggested, make the truck so smart that you can never crash it. not that i like the idea really that the car thinks for me in that way, but active crash protection is really a thing and it works.
I just saw a tiktok video of a cybertruck owner explaining that the plastic cover of the accelerator pedal came off and got stuck with the accelerator floored. He stayed calm and was able to stop the car but imagine someone panicking in that very situation…
Glad they have them all fixed and no accidents or injuries were reported. Remember Toyotas Padalecki actually killed a bunch of people, affected millions of vehicles and they were sued for billions.
Can you make a video about the pedal misapplication technology? I'm very interested in how it detects that without interfering with most normal intended inputs.
Lots of Honda copy, on the suspension, the under bed trunk and more. But wait, there are few delivered and few proven to be reliable. Not only if you buy an electric truck, you will get stranded and that is one big headache. Without many charging stations and it is not made for serious off-road use and it does not float. Deep mud nd soft sand, forget it. Sorry, soy boy fan boys keep trying. FAIL
The hummer was absolutely complained about. The fear wasn’t quite as wide spread bc there was a concern no one would buy one anyways but the weight of these vehicles are approaching numbers that some residential infrastructure like Suva urban streets and driveways lifespans will literally be altered if this continues.

Gotta mention that (especially as a car guy) I love your takes on pedestrian safety. As a 6’1 dude, the fact that some of the trucks in my area are so high up that the hood is just below my chest freaks me the hell out.
The most terrifying bit to me is that people buy this to feel safe when they get into accidents that they cause themselves, life of the person they hit be damned.

@@kalashnikov1343 Yes, but you're missing the point - it didn't break an axle, exposing all of them as ignants with no idea what they're talking about.

@@natmarelnam4871 i think you missed my point. I never argued that it had an axle at all. Im pointing out that its illogical to assume an axle snapped just because a wheel broke off center.
I've wondered about the rigidity of the frame. Cars in the old days were like that and during collisions the force was transfered directly to the passengers resulting in crashes where the car survived but the passengers didn't. They decided people's lives were more important and cars were redesigned to have crumple zones which absorbed and redirected the energy around and away from the occupants.
I think the car is rigid since its intended to be a viable vehicle in space conditions. (even though 99.9% of people will never even get close to space) I'd be interested in seeing how much force is applied to the passengers in these cyber truck collisions, because a major factor in safety isn't just crumple zones, but seat belts and airbags too. Crumple zones were applied before proper seat belts or airbags became standard, so we must keep that in mind as well when talking about older cars and safety
Indeed. While AIDRIVR may not see the difference. I do. Look at how far the mannequin goes into the airbag. That's... substantially more in the cybertruck. Which is TERRIFYING. Because in case you haven't seen one of these tests before, the energy it takes to go that far into the airbag ain't much less than what it takes to turn your organs into paste, I'd in fact argue its likely the same or even more given how the back of the mannequin in the cybertruck seems to snap, which would mean that's enough body to break a spine. I assure you, the spleen is weaker than the spine. Don't know who needed to learn that, but there it is. So yeah... This mess looks like a deathtrap for everyone involved. Not to mention how the doors seem very easy to block up which would put the "trap" in death trap even more. I'm surprised its even legal, even by USA standards. And I already find USA standards HORRIFYING as it is!
@@domosrage5434Hah! "viable in space conditions" that's a good one... That mess isn't viable in Space. Not even close. Its way too heavy for its own good there, plus the windows are a mess (there's a good reason space vehicles minimize glass and absolutely do not have glass in sharp angles), etc, etc.
the partial crash test is to prevent cheating because cars were getting better at full frontal but did poorly in head on collisions. Getting both right is important so would prefer to see the full crash tests instead.
Exactly, also, correct me if I am wrong, but partial crashes are way way more common than head on collisions. Also the way he said "Your strict pedestrian impact testing", those are not strict as they could be, look at any modern car that's being sold in the EU. Cybertruck is a moving blade and should not be allowed anywhere as of now.
@@samuelbucher5189 and that is what did not happen. In a full frontal the trucks will crumple less because there is more mass to crumple. I've had a full frontal with a concrete barrier before, the old car stopped it easily without much Gs on me. One of the key features cars have in a full frontal is to lengthen the collision time by going up as we know from trigonometry that results in a longer path. However partial tests are more important if you care about road safety because thats whats going to happen if you hit a tree or have a head on collision and thats why this comparison shown in the video is incomplete or inconclusive. The heavier the vehicle the harder it will be to lift up as well in a full frontal to extend the crash duration. Ofcourse being crash incompatible is a problem but the cybertruck seems to have a lower bumper than the other display trucks that pretend to be a full semi. At least it isnt pretending to be a full semi.
Something that amazes me is that everyone forgot that bullet proof glass on a civilian car is completely useless, just add weight so you take more energy. It’s even dangerous in a case of a crash, in a standard car you take your head rest and smash it in the window to leave the car. In the cybertruck, you’ll have to pray that the firefighter get at you fast.
So far everyone has gave their opinion on accidents of the cyber truck hitting property/people but imagine how easy it is now for people to get their hands on a crowd plough and can then boost away or even attempt to ram higher grade audiences. All while appearing like a normal unmodded vehicle.
@@TheDgdimick in fact, on some vehicle they can’t be removed, that’s why you can buy a little tool that you put in your glove box. It’s like a mini hammer but with a sharp metal end that way you can break the window, if it’s not bullet proof.
The thing is. The car might be just as 'safe' as other trucks. But you have to realize what happens when it crashes With other smaller types of cars which is where it starts getting lethal
Tbh, I'd rather be in a sturdy box that would protect my family than sacrifice half of it to crumple zone saving some asshole speeding on his rigged Toyota Safety of others is very low priority in such situations
There were a ton of people that complained when the Hummer EV was released. Lots of articles shortly thereafter about the problem with big trucks and the dangers of heavier weights in collisions. I think the cybertruck complaints got noticed more because it's so different.
yeah theres a growing discourse about how utterly negligent our regulations are here in the us, the cyber truck is just one of the most visible examples, those hummer evs are one of the dumbest, most recklessly designed things i've ever seen
the cybertruck gets noticed because in is so ugly and functionless. trucks are for hauling and towing, an this thing cannot accept a 5th wheel or have a bed big enough to carry a toothbrush. It would make an excellent can opener, however, as all the corners could easily open big 55 gallon cans. And if hit by the front corners of this truck, a pedestrian will be cleanly and instantaniously be cut in two! Yuk!
@bartlevenson Only thing, it has a space for 5th tyre, just you have to order it as an extra, Goodyear custom-made sculpturevwith 2part rim cover. It's jyst money and sliding rear cover for looks.

I agree. The issue isn't the car manufacturers making heavy cars with INSANE acceleration. It's state DMVs allowing anyone to get these trucks. If California changed who was allowed to get trucks and heavy vehicles, the market would react. We did it with fuel efficiency standards. There should be a specific reason to get a truck, otherwise you get a sedan. I'm a college commuter student and it's ODD seeing trucks in the parking lots and structures.
The panels haven't rusted. The panels get surface stains from airborne iron particles landing on them during manufacture and shipping. It isn't the panels themselves rusting. There are cleaning products that prevent it that should he used right when you get it.
Actually, the worst thing about the crash test is how the driver dummy's had snaps back with force after hitting the airbag, something that *does not* happen in the F150 test you compared it to. There are videos out there analyzing exactly these two tests and in the F150 video it takes a lot longer for the driver's head to come to a full stop, which means less impact, and less trauma. This part was considered bad for the F150 (one of the less successful aspects in its test) so it must be much worse for the Cybertruck. Also, you might want to mention that its design makes it illegal to drive in EU, since unlike the US they have proper pedestrian safety laws, with which the CYbertruck is not compliant, while the F150 is.
That said, it's an open question why anyone in the EU would want to drive either vehicle. We have much more practical pickup trucks for work that calls for it (e.g. construction, see Iveco Daily with a truck bed and Piaggio Porter), more practical work vehicles for other things (i.e. vans), and when it comes to showing off various German manufactures have your back.
F150s may be legal here, but nobody is buying them. The biggest pickup I've seen all year were a couple Ford Rangers, and a RAM 1500 last year (which at stock ride height towered over my stock wagon, as in my eye level was at the top of that things tire). Nobody here wants either of these 2, because they also don't fit in regular lanes, let alone parking lots. Model Y's are literally line-to-line here, while I have a comfy 30ish cm on either side of my wagon
@@istvanlorinczi2817 Yes, at my workplace, Ford Mazda and Suzuki dealer, we have a few rangers, usually company cars, where they need the added ruggedness you dont get from a van.

Where are you getting your information? Are you just stating what you think is accurate based off your location and how many you see in your location? Do yourself a quick Google search and you will see the F series is the most purchased 1/2 ton for 2023. I have a new 2022 F-150 Supercrew and it fits in lanes just fine.

The dummys head position means absolutely nothing without having the telemetry and sensor data. This is why you can't trust internet experts. The neck could just as easily be bending because its a different airbag, or a different seating position, or a different dummy. No real expert is going to draw these kinds of conclusions from a video clip without the sensor data. The actual crash testing groups look at the actual data. So, go look at what they rate the Cybertruck when its out and see what they rate it. Morons on the internet think that using stainless steel body panels somehow has ANYTHING to do with crumple zones. The part that does the crumpling is never the sheet metal. Its the crash beams and frame/subframe elements doing the crumpling. The Cybertruck has those just like any other vehicle. The fact that its sheetmetal doesn't bend and dent as much means exactly nothing.
it's not about the crumple zone, it's about the movement of the front occupants heads and the sudden impact with the airbag, you will notice with all of the other vehicles the front occupants heads travel much further before they come to a stop, this is by design, it prevents permanent brain damage
Read about the totaled Altis hitting a cybertruck? Whats interesting in the article was the one injured was the occupant of the CT and the guy in the totalled Altis was alright. IDK how accurate the article is but....

Thanks for the video putting the Cybertruck in context. I think there's something quintessentially American to say that they don't care if what they're doing reduces the safety of everyone around them as long as it makes it safer for themselves.
As a South Korean, I had never seen an American pickup truck, so I didn't understand why people were saying they were dangerous. That was until a neighbor of mine bought a Chevy Colorado. It made me wonder why these things aren't classified as weapons.
Love the fact that you say people aren't giving an accurate comparison when you did the same, the full frontal crash @1:50 and the side impact test @2:28 are two entirely different models of F150s. One was a Lightning with a full battery pack and low center of gravity (like the cybertruck). The other is an XLT model, that means it's a gas powered vehicle and not an electric vehicle, hence no low center of gravity to prevent roll over.
@CentralStormz Yep! I did the KRplus research for him just now in a matter of seconds: "2022-2024 Ford F-150 Lightning EV NHTSA MDB Side Crash Test". SMH 😏🤣
Nice catch. I felt like he was living under a rock when he said @6:40 "I didn't hear anyone complaining about safety when the Hummer EV was released." Like what bro, where you at. Overall a good video, America definitely has a mental illness that causes people to buy larger and larger trucks. After all, the F150 is Americas most popular Grocery-Getter
I think the main reason they're attacking the Cybertruck is because it's made by Tesla and Elon, and one half of the political spectrum is now required by decree to hate everything he and his companies do, even if it's actually good.
5:52 I still remember a very dramatic example of this. My company used to load new cars onto railcars. One morning when I came in late, I see a railcar door that’s been pried wide open at the top deck, and a car on it’s roof 20 feet below. Turns out one of the few coworkers I hated there (she was a two faced, backstabbing, habitual liar that thought she was above everyone), had pressed the gas instead of the brakes and launched herself of the top deck and fell 20 feet. She shattered her ankle and we never saw her again. We found out that she lied (shocker) about a brake malfunction. So the company that built the car took it back inside and did diagnostics on the crash. They found out that a few seconds before the crash, she applied 100% accelerator and 0% brakes according to the computer’s “black box”. Glad she was gone though. Sucks that a car had to get destroyed for it though.
@@juggernautjim7719 Not crown vics in this case. However, that is a fantastic guess, as it was the other big Ford assembly plant in Ontario. We were loading Ford Edges, Ford Flexes, Lincoln MKX’s, and Lincoln MKT’s. AND I actually did work shipping the crown vics, but it was only for 2 days in 2010 when the guys in St. Thomas were too burnt out to ship everything themselves that weekend. unfortunately, I don’t remember any of the names of the people that we were shipping with in St. Thomas though. But yes, Autoport was a great gig.
Don't be too hard on her for "lying" for pressing the wrong pedal (the rest of the stuff she did is fair game though). Far, far too many people do this. You are confident that you are pressing the brake and the car keeps going. You then press harder but are now panicking, so you are unable to think clearly. At that point you are simply hitting what you think is the brake while trying to steer around obstacles. All of this typically happens in a matter of seconds, not even enough time to tell yourself that you are on the wrong pedal.
@@anthonypelchat It's because of piss poor driver training. People are allowed to drive cars without even knowing the bare basics about how they work.

"Tell me if I'm missing something here." Yes, look at the force for the driver in the F150 vs the Cybertruck. All of the force is being transmitted to the passengers. That's the crumple zones in action on the F150.
Tesla DumpsterX: all of the benefits of a dumpster, but with an engine. Remember the hyperloop? Now you, Have a place to put it. *What critics are saying: "DumpsterX & Hyperloop, match made in a landfill!"* 😂😂😂
You overlooked one thing with the crumple zone, it is there to absorb the impact which it does so noticeably worse then the other full frontal crash. You can see the dummy basically contorting their spine as they get a lot less travel distance
His point was that ANY car or truck that hits an absolutely immovable object is going to be pain. Small differences like this don't warrant all the hate; there are cars and trucks with worse frontal collision scores.
The Cybertruck getting hit at all will probably be a write off for the insurance company! They will not let you drive it. EVs after accidents are totaled.

@@2MeterLP Fine then. But I bet you can't mount a machine gun on your dinky subcompact. Nor does it probably have good acceleration and speed which you could get with a sportier coupe.
"Space grade stainless steel" with zero clear coat. Cybertruck Manual: To Prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosives substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout.). So either pay the extra 5K to have the urethane-based film put on it, keep it garage parked or clean the truck every time you use it.
For quite a number of years, there were a LOT of rather new Nissan Leafs that had front-damage only. My hypothesis is that the drivers weren't expecting EV level acceleration, and accelerated themselves into an accident
oh absolutlety not, did you know that i think it was the escalade that was tested; it takes about five children lined up next to eachother before the driver can see the top of one kids head? horrifying.
I am in the UK and I use a RAM 2500 for moving logs into the house during this colder season. I feel like a terminator using that thing on small back roads. It truly makes you realise how daft they are when Doris in her Honda Jazz is having to drive into a ditch just so I can get past in this stupid thing. For the record I do enjoy using it offroad and a load bed is perfect for unsplit logs Edit: I love that the average response from Americans is not that we should make smaller vehicles that are safer and more economical. But that we should make roads bigger, ruining the countryside
That last reason is part of why trucks have gotten bigger but it seems people over exaggerate how big normal duty trucks are because my 92 Chevy 1500 is only 700lbs lighter than a 2023 one.
So what's the alternative? You wanna haul those logs with the Honda Jazz? I've driven a Fuso Canter with the biggest cargo box legally possible and never felt bad when it came to tight situations and others do not seem to care much either, cause most people know that those big vehicles are working for them too. We can all be cool with each other 24/7, 365 days a year. From Cybertruck to Renault Twingo. Nobody has to be in a hurry 🙂
It's nice to see a man can criticize his own purchase... And I agree horses for courses you need to move logs and pick up is the easiest.. Or maybe even a transit Tipper with just a hi front also.. Trying to be an armchair engineer..lol.., it appears that the height of the bonnet is an important point anything above 40 inches is 45% more likely to kill predestrian.. But then if you travel above 25 miles an hour it's the same anyway.. And everyone does that.. Hopefully all cars eventually will have collision avoidance that is 99% effective.
Sounds like the UK makes unsafe roads that are to small then. You don't even have to drive into the ditch if a Semi is on the road with you in the USA.
If you're panicking, you're not thinking straight. Also something that happens a lot with student/new drivers, lot of time they confuse the break for the gas or less dangerous, vise versa
@Stampyboyz dude if u watch the video he had enough time to react even under the initial shock lol, whoever is stupid enough to make that mistake should've never gotten a license to begin with
Metaphorically, absolutely yes. Though I think that makes it sound cooler than it is - It absolutely wouldn't to last 5 seconds under even basic small arms fire.

@@ryboi1337 1:49 Guy is saying a fist is more dangerous than being stabbed with a knife. More surface area means more dissipation. The entire suite of crumpling features of a car impacting a wall with its full mass does indeed have a different display of dissipation than a car impacting a barrier that actuates 1/2 to 1/3 of a car's crumpling capabilities with its full mass behind it.
The former was the standard, we could argue is the best case scenario, before someone conceived of the latter decades later, arguably a real world scenario, and car engineers and manufacturers had to devise better means of supplying more crumpling capabilities and reinforcement for the event where less was available.
Former standard did not test side impacts, someone realized t-boning happens and started to test it, and since doing so we've implemented side airbags. Analogize this statement with the hypothetical of if Tesla didn't present a side impact test and imagine a youtuber saying 'It's much easier to dissipate energy with a side impact....than not being crashed into the side' okay the analogy sort of falls apart, sort of like the statement where a third of the car dissipates more energy than the full car falls apart.

FYI it's actually harder to dissipate the force for the front overlap test as the force is focused on one corner of the vehicle.
This is why the overlap test was introduced - vehicles had been acing the frontal crash test, but in the real world, occupants were getting injured badly.
So bro j blatantly lied then 😭
bros a so called expert shut the hell up
@@ashwinnaidoo796nah I think he just explained improperly. He meant the small overlap is obviously going to crunch in more than a full frontal, not that it’s easier to pass.
But in the real world, a full squared frontal is insanely rare unless you have no self preservation.
This always reminds me of how people are always talking about how “old cars were built tougher” and showcase one of them hitting a barrier and the car basically shrugging it off but the person inside has turned into paste
KRplus has a Malibu vs BelAir test that shows exactly this. You'd be annihilated in the 1959 car.
No, older car isn't tougher and they're not dangerous because of that.
It's not crumple zone that's slowing the passenger down (you wouldn't want that), but mainly airbags.
Considering that most car had its chasis stopped before passenger hit the airbag (including cybertruck), there's basically no difference on how large/long it takes to crumple as long as the passenger cell remain rigid. An effective crumple zone is mainly there to prevent passenger cell deformation from crushing its passenger (cybertruck chasis is pretty strong, so...)
I like how so many people just see the crash test and goes "ohhh, energy transfer bad", like they even know what they're talking about. It's middle school physics man...
Exactly. It's true thatl frontal isn't that bad - bc the Cybertruck has traditional aluminum crumple zone. For that side impact, you'd rather be in the Ford that "looks" worse.
The old cars had one thing going for them .... mass. I had a big car. A 1977 Lincoln town car with a big ole 460 big block. Thing was like a tank. Thick sheet metal. Empty weight (no driver, no gas) was something like 4880 lbs. Of course when a car like that was to hit an econo box weighing in like 1/2 the weight, the favor is going to be in favor of the large car. One thing older cars were really poor at was rollover. The A & B pillars on some of the older cars were really thin and flimsy in a rollover. The pillars on new cars are made to support the whole weight of the vehicle in a roll over that puts the car upside down.
NOTHING built today will be operable in 40 years. Almost everything operable today built 40 plus years ago, will still be operable. It's humans fault we are so soft we have to nerf our engineering to protect the ones nature is trying to eliminate from the gene pool.
Fun fact: The German "Car License / Class B" allows you to drive vehicles up to 3.5 Tons in weight. This includes the vehicle, driver, passenger and everything else you put into the car. thus, vehicles like the Hummer EV couldn't even be driven without the small (literal) truck license. This would also make the "Beast" problematic. That would make just under 400kg of added load kinda making it super impractical. (metric tonnes)
It can be "typisiert" to 3.5 tons. That is usually made for recreational vehicles. As long as the weight of the car including all passengers stays below 3.5 tons. 2995 + 5 x 80 = 3.395 kg. Acceptable. But then you could not tow anything.
Same in Italy so I guess this is an EU-wide rule. Max weight with regular class B driving license is 3.5 tons including everything, however it is +/- 5%, you can add another 150 kg allowance
Don't forget, that vehicles with more than 3,5t of max weight are limited to 80km/h in Europe.
So the Cyber Truck being 3,1t but having a load capacity of 1t in the truck bed equals 4,1t of max weight. C1 class drivers license needed and limitation to 80km/h.
@@theagentsmith Its still more with a trailer. That means CT must be a truck with truck license and 80 (100 in Poland...) top speed.
I just calculated M3, MY, CT on my longest route i drive regularly. The CT is 2 hours slower than the 3. But fully loaded.
And as a truck it does not have to follow the passenger car UN/ECE rules. It will be interesting to see how this conundrum will be solved.
@@CerberusTenshi the Cyber Truck will most likely be classified as car though. And the max total weight limit will be reduced to 3500 kg. That is on paper, if people will actually keep to that... probably not.
This is the same reasons bike helmets and body armor are built the way they are, they're supposed to crumple to slow the impact, not stop all movement instantly.
Yeah that's why the cybertruck has a crumble zone
When the tesla got hit on the side, got damn. The passengers would have way more than whiplash.

sometimes happens to very, very experienced drivers, in Europe too. Sadly, I have seen this as part of my job in motor insurance. It usually results from a combination of being completely distracted when behind the wheel + finding yourself in a sudden stressful unfamiliar situation.
@@move2003ny Honestly, I've never witnessed such things personally. Guess it's a rather rare case after all. But since you're working for an insurance company, I bet you get to see a lot of weird accident cases within a year.
Because it seems like many americans drive with on foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake pedal. I've never ever mistaken the pedals because my right foot is the only foot operating those pedals.
the difference between the big stupid trucks and the cybertruck is that the bigger trucks will still crumple and fold somewhat if you hit another car or are hit by another car.
meanwhile the cybertruck is just a steel brick that when it hits you, is just gonna pancake you and possibly with the sharp corners even tear your car open or apart..
I never believed in the notion that the cybertruck would harm the occupants inside in a crash. especially with seatbelts and modern airbags..
but what I do believe is that this thing is gonna cause massive damage to any car it wrecks into, and the people in it. an f150 will still crumple somewhat in a wreck.
also this thing being called a tank is a joke. the windows aren't even bullet proof and its only proofed to small handgun calibers.
the cybertruck is just a hypebeast vehicle
the scariest thing in this video is 16000 pedal misapplications annually in the US alone. like, i’m not a very experienced driver, have been driving for just over two years. however, the thought of the existence of so many people doing “>press pedal >car not doing what intended >press same pedal harder” truly scares the shit out of me

I guess preventing someone from harming themselves is more important then preventing them from harming others.
It’s not about how the car holds up in a crash but its ability to provide the lowest deceleration possible so that your fragile human body doesn’t experience 100G forces.
Like he said in the vid, with how heavy/Dense it is with such a Low center of gravity you can be assured that just about anything it hits is getting yeeted. Very few things are liable to be able to stop that thing on a dime so deceleration is probably not going to be as big of a danger as you might think...
Your assuming we are hitting a immovable object. In my ram I hit someone going and 10mph with a 10 tone dump trailer hooked up and their vehicle didn’t effect my momentum at all. They where send flying 10 feet and the car was like half the length it was before but my truck only had a dent and a bit of a twist to the bumper.
The human body can survie 88gs of force in an insta stop to 0 speed, the air force tested it in the 60s
F1 pilots can survive a 150mph crash into a wall, even with the crumpling zone, what do you think experience more Gs, mr Joe crashing at 50mph or an F1 pilot at 150mph?
Honestly what keeps you alive is the passenger area not crumpling and the airbags softening the impact, the crumpling zone is nore of a marketing tactic for "cheap materias that give up easily"

On all new trucks, there seems to be no limit on the height of headlights. People have become very complacent about dimming high beams and now with these trucks, blinding headlights have become a huge problem. You might consider doing a video about that problem too.
The headlights are in the bumper, the horizontal line of the cybertruck is a daytime running light. So for that truck specifically at least it won't be a problem.
I also have found this to be a big problem, especially in Australia when people add suplumentry driving lights. I have to hit the brakes and stop because I litterally cannot see what is going on around me, I'm blind.
@@UltimateGattaioh same, I drive a commodore and get blinded constantly by 4wds
Yeap. Not sure if there is a limit for height in every country but I can confirm this is getting to be a problem, especially with more powerful headlamps.
I have to drive on Sunday's at evening going back home in the motorway and I did this with an older Passat but gave up using that car because all the SUVs full with weekend luggage would blind me while overtaking and started using only my C4 which is much higher....It worked fine but now I am starting to have the same problem with that car too.
SUVs and such have much hire headlamps and so when they overtake you, the light reflects on your driver's side rearview mirror and tends to blind you.
I don't have a problem when they are behind me, the auto dimming mirror solves that and I also don't have a problem when at a highway and they are coming in the opposite direction but when they overtake you in a dual carriage motorway it is terrible.
Some of it is complacency, some of it is that modern LED lights are often a lot brighter and a lot more directional than the old ones were and a lot of them are just not aimed properly. I remember when I needed to re-aim my motorcycle headlights after changing the bulbs and the local regulations here are extremely hard to understand. The gist is that they should be pointed slightly down, but by how much isn't something that is at all clear, especially with the increased variety of vehicles that people are riding around in.
"the driver kept pressing the accelerator thinking it was the break"
How do you even get a driving license if that's your level of control over your car?
I think it could happen to anyone, although it’s probably a pretty low probability. You have to keep in mind that when it happens, there’s going to be some intial confusion and the inner ear can be really deceptive in those situations. Hell, there have been some passenger jet crashes because a pilot was so convinced by his inner ear that he refused to believe what the instruments were telling them. I understand the sentiment, it’s really difficult to believe that your brain can malfunction sometimes, but we are all imperfect organisms that evolved through an imperfect process on an African Savanna

Except the fact the steel used... is stated by the company to be not resistant to corrosion at all and as the steel is naked... anything that gets on it can and will eat it.
Stainless steel is merely corrosion resistant, high Chromium and Manganese content helps, but in the end, you have inhomogenities in chemical composition at crystalline grain boundaries, where the corrosion sets in and spreads. Works even better if you scratch up the surface, since that will become the new nucleation point for corrosion. Sure, when compared to regular steel it's going to take a few months for it to start to rust instead of instantly, but dipping the parts in a zinc bath could dramatically improve the corrosion resistance.

Former paramedic, current insurance risk manager here. Quite the discussion in the comments. Many good points, but also a few understandable misunderstandings and some considerations missing altogether.
I just want to inform everyone about "the third collision". The first is the vehicle hitting something, the second is the body hitting the interior of the car (which seat belts and airbags deal with) and the third is the inner organs crashing inside the body. So, the faster these are travelling when the body itself suddenly stops, the more dead you'll be. Ligaments will rip straight through the organs they keep in place. Organs will smash against your rib cage or even the skin that is suddenly stationary because it has hit the dash or hopefully the airbag. This is what the crumple zone deals with. It's there to make the breaking distance of your body as long as possible, while the rigid cell around the interior tries to stop physical objects spearing through or smashing your whole body to pulp in one, rather swift, go.
The crumple zone is about reducing the G force your body is subjected to in a crash. The seat belts help you slow down more in tandem with the car, stopping you from smashing into the dash and the steering wheel. An airbag helps cushioning the last bit of retardation. Also alleviating the stretching strain on your spine. (This is also helped by the active seat belts in modern cars, that strap you in just as the crash starts - or before, in the case of very modern cars - and then it will release a bit of slack, first and foremost so your ribs will not break and puncture your lungs and/or your heart. Yes, they have thought of that, too.) But an airbag where seat belts are not in use (or you sit too close to the wheel) is now a double Mike Tyson punch in the face. 600kgs vs 300kgs, or thereabouts. Not recommended.
I worked at a crash site where a family of five in an American style van (Chevrolet, I think) collided with a Hyundai Accent. When the difference in weight is that big, the outcome is almost given, and the weight adds to the safety in that one instance. In fact, the 12-year old in the van ONLY survived because they had a trailer - a camper van - behind them, pushing the van forwards another few inches before it stopped, reducing the G forces on the family in the van. This according to the surgeon who opened up the kid to deal with internal bleeding. In this case, the Hyundai was stopped short AND pushed back a bit, making the G forces even higher than if they had just rammed into a mountain. They did not survive.
Neither would anyone in the case of two very heavy cars with extremely rigid bodies colliding at 60mph, both stopping short. In theory, if they were identical in every way and one of them were heavier than the other - or even travelled at a higher speed than the other! - the people in that car would be better off than those in the slower OR lighter car. But looking at traffic at large, everyone driving as fast as possible in a car as heavy as possible is not gonna make us all safer.
With regards to older cars, I have seen enough steering columns lodged in broken chests to prefer newer models for long distance travel. I drive my veteran carefully for many reasons. Sorry for writing such a long comment, but even this is a fragment of all the factors and aspects of collision safety. It is a tremendously complex field if you want to be detailed about it.
Oh an expert… er… APPEAL TO AUTHORITY! APPEAL TO AUTHORITY!

Yup. Because it is so strong and rigid and not made to absorb an impact like any other car all that energy travels. And just because the back half did not crumple does not mean anything. Which is what this momo is implying. It just increases the G force on the occupants. This guy is laughable.

When I was still working as an engineer in that specific area, strikter pedestrian safety regulations for the US market were already anounced. I would have to check what the current regulations are in the US. One thing I can tell you, is that you will never see one of those things on european streets. By design there is absolutely no chance that they will pass current regulations.
How are pedestrian safety regulationsfor small trucks?
Also it would still be able to be driven on the streets, the Mustang front and hood design f.e. had to be redesigned ( lower nose, no hood vents ) so it could be sold here but you could still get US imports registered before official sales.
@@Enforcer_WJDExplain to me why my Stryker shouldn't be street legal
In my neck of the woods, the CT's curb weight requires you to have a commercial driver's licence (same with the F150) - so it will likely never sell (never mind the fact that we simply have zero EV infra).
From what I heard is that at least for France the tesla truck will not be legal as is on different levels : the tint on the glass (easy fix), the weight (debatable, not sure yet), the sharp edges of the body and that one will be most likely the reason why will never see that ugly thing in France and most likely the whole EU.
An engineer and you spelled stricter "strikter"? Were you engineering Tonka trucks by chance?
I don't think tesla was designing this for europe because they disregarded certain things that would make it legal in europe as far as shape and weight. Its designed for the US market, clearly. They love massive overkill trucks, and this is bulletproof... Personally i think the cybertruck was created to expand Teslas fan base to those who are a little more on the redneck side. As soon as some back country folk get to unload a magazine in the side of a cybertruck, they're gonna fall in love.
I've personally witnessed two instances of pedal misapplication. In one case I was standing on the side of a driveway and suddenly the large vehicle shot out backwards and missed me by a few inches.
how does that happen, like is the brake malfunctioning when that's happening to someone
basically these dumb people are on their phones not focusing while driving and go to hit the brake and hit the accelerator or vice versa. and if you go to hit the brakes hard in a tesla and you hit the gas instead that instant torque slings you into the nearest thing. @@darthtardis5465

In the US, a fixed barrier is used to simulate a frontal collision between two cars. In other parts of the world, they also account for a collision between cars of different sizes and stiffness, and also against pedestrians.
tbf you dont need to do a crash test on this to know whats gonna happen if you collide with a pedestrian or a smaller car
@@dijital4801 tbf, to pass crash tests against the small cars legally allowed on the same roads and pedestrians should be mandatory everywhere in the world. What we know (or think we know) is irrelevant, test crash data should be mandatory for each new model.
The only difference between the Cyber Truck and all the other equally dangerous trucks on the road is that the Cuber Truck will end up getting hammered by negative media coverage every time one wrecks.
Very true
When i realised how ridiculously massive and heavy trucks (and cars in general) are getting nowadays, my respect for the old, small but surprisingly practical trucks like the Datsun, old f-150 trucks and even the Japanese kei trucks got higher than ever.
I duly concur. Several years ago, I found and bought a 2004 Tacoma, regular cab with over 56k miles, in great condition. Glad I did when I did then. To this day, it still has under 100k miles (typically just my work truck, to and from work), and still runs great (doing all the maintenance and upkeep myself). Thought about selling it a few times (have gotten some great offers for it), but then they just don't make these smaller trucks anymore. Only thing I would've wished it was was a 5-speed instead. Ah well. No loss there. Some of these newer, bigger trucks look pretty darn good. But there is something about the smaller trucks of yesteryears that just can't be beat.
@@harryv6752 ironically, those new bigger trucks have smaller flatbeds despite their massive size. Why? Because nowadays, a truck is more of a status symbol rather than a workhorse. People buy these trucks (like the cybertruck featured in the video) because they think it makes them look badass. What's the point of having a 3 ton road-legal tank with a 0-60 mph of less than 3 seconds, but only using it to drive your kids to school?
@@Enola_Straight "makes them look badass" sums it up perfectly. The CT is an amazing feat of engineering, but the people buying and driving it won't be working in construction lol. It'll be those who bask in the sun shining out of Elon's butthole, where everything he touches is amazing, who will be lining up to buy this truck. It will be massive in the USA and I imagine the Arab countries will buy it by the shitload as well. Europe? Well, we have smaller streets and less worship of the massive car (it still exists don't worry) so it won't be appearing over here in it's present incarnation anyway. We have all these silly regulations to protect other road users from pedestrians to cars, and the CT hitting a normal car would be instant death to anyone in the non steel vehicle. As for pedestrians, bikers, cyclists? Sliced and diced baby with those sexy sharp edges. But USA is #1 so anything goes. Would love to take a ride and even test drive one of these on a track though :) Not down on Tesla per se, just think the CT is kinda... well silly when it comes to practical road use.
@@Enola_Straight Yeah, totally. Faking the funk but really not about the funk at all.
Had a buddy who bought a 2022 Forerunner that he decked it out. Raised it. Threw on a winch, light bar and light pods, some big wheels, gnarly tires, a roof rack, and was still planning on doing more to it.
I used to clown on him like, "Bro, so when are you takin' that thing off road? You doing all this to it and it ain't even been on dirt yet. You're not even an outdoors guy."
He'd typically respond with, "Just waiting on you."
And I'd throw back to him, "Sh1t. That's YOUR car. I'm always out there on the weekends. Where' YOU at?"
It was funny. He babied it like crazy, rarely drove it, and yet was hooking it up for some big off roading adventure he would never go on.
And though funny, people will do what they will with their money, practical or not. I tend to only spend my money on things that are useful for me. Fruck the image or trying to look cool or baddass. That's just whack.
Cars have to be regulated by size and weight but not by absurd CAFE standarts.
Japan done great work by implementing Kei dimentions.
As an European, the first time I saw an American truck in real life I was like: "WTF, how a car has become so fucking big?" while sitting on my 335i nearly touching the floor. I think the height of my car was literally the size of his wheels. Absolutely gigantic.
Having any truck somewhere near the size of a F150 (length and width) or bigger can't even get to my house. They would not be able to take some of the 90degr. corners on the narrow roads of the town (mostly build 1500 and earlier). Delivery vans already have a hard time. Trucks/lorries/semitrucks can drop off their cargo outside of the city-center and electric vans take care of the logistics for the final km(s). Works perfectly fine and makes for very calm pedestrian living environment without noisy engines and exhaust fumes where people can sit outside their house and safely cross the street without having to look at metal boxes on wheels everywhere. We have cars, but they are smaller and kept out of sight whenever possible. Infrastructure for pedestrians, bikes, buses and trains gets the same or higher attention as for cars.
But they are practical. Towing RVs and hauling for jobs. Have to have it.
german here, I rarely ever see American pickups drive through here but when they do they barely even fit. Saw one parked at the side of the street and it was partially blocking the road while all other cars were behind the line. American trucks are built for wide ass American car dependent infrastructure roads, they don't always work on European pedestrian friendly streets
335i is an amazing car and I bet you would enjoy the Cybertruck just as much.

While I agree, and often see similar misguided marketing about aircraft grade aluminum, there is such a thing as passing the metal through the same testing procedures it would go through to qualify for use in an application.

As someone who rides my bike everywhere and goes home at 11pm I have started riding with sunglasses because of how bright the headlights are on most vehicles, the problem is that at the end of the day I'm forced to ride on the road in some areas, and being blinded every 30 seconds by a passing truck driving with their brights on is probably the worst part of my day, they don't even need it, there's brand new streetlights on this road
There are also stupid people using their high beam headlights when cars are coming on the other side. A reminder to those people: the law strictly prohibits this behavior. I got very unlucky recently because of that.
I would guess they are not the high beams some or most of the time. its so easy to upgrade your headlights. My wifes Lacrosse falls into this really bright category with a simple HID light upgrade. I didnt know what I was doing at the time of order. They are being downgraded soon.
@@Andrew-FKF HID lights have the benefit that you can still see the pattern, but with the high beams it's just one giant glare. In my unlucky case, it was that one giant glare.
yuk sorry that sounds no fun@@Sedaura
@@Andrew-FKF It's okay. In my unluckiness, I'm still lucky to have made it out alive with no physical injuries.
I recently got in a car accident on my bike. The car ran me over from the side, when i was crossing the sidewalk, it was going around 15 km/h, so not at a huge speed. It was a škoda with a normal lover curved front end which enabled me to just roll onto the hood with no serious injuries sustained. If the cybertruck hit me in the exact same way, it would have been way worse due to the high front bumper and razor edge. I am seriousely surprised as to how such a dangerous design is legal.
As a German, it just puzzles me... what's the point of having a fast acceleration, if you can only ever drive the car at a crawl? Literally any moderately decent car can do 200 km/h or more. Doesn't matter if it's a hatchback, a minivan, a roadster or whatever. I used to own a Kia Picanto. 65 HP, and a top speed of 160 km/h. It weighed 850 kg, and was fine for just getting from A to B, if you were okay with cruising at a casual 130 km/h - whioch is already 10 MPH over the US speed limit. That tiny little car could basically tackle any standard US road situation with ease. So what's the point of having those giant trucks and massive motors? Seems absolutely pointless.
Ah, but you haven't taken into account American logic:
Driving a 1500kg hatchback at 200kph = Not Manly ❌
Driving a 3000kg truck with the same carrying capacity at 100kph = Manly ✅
Ich verstehe es auch gar nicht.
Perhaps you need to be on public roads in the US to understand. People in well handling vehicles often travel at speeds in excess of 80MPH, but then come upon those driving slower, and especially when those slower drivers won't get out of the passing lane, there is a need to maneuver around and quickly speed back up. Further with trucks, the torque and HP is a function of towing/hauling capacity. While it is true that many owners never use their trucks to their full potential, they are still designed to be capable of it for those purposes where it is useful.
Frankly I could say the same about most EVs if it weren't for the utility of trucks, that it seems rather silly to design them with power plants that can accelerate from 0 to 60MPH in under 10 seconds when on public roads they just need to keep up with everyone else, and yet sports cars exist which are even less useful, but at least more visually appealing.
It seems to me the horror is less the vehicles themselves and more the idiots driving that shouldn’t have access to them.
Exactly, and no "special license" is going to fix that.
@@arcguardianif they had the same standards that Germany had when getting your license people would be WAY better drivers.
if liveleak has taught me anything, it's that chinamen are absolute geniuses at turning good things into absolute trainwrecks. but yeah, special licensing won't do shit without making other problems even worse. a far better solution is one that tesla are already moving towards, that being the use of ai in the cars, since ai are actually reliable, and because it would cost significantly less to install an ai into some threshold of the percentage of cars on the road, vs forcing every single person who drives to take some test from a slow af government agency or whatever.
@@arcguardian so then should we have them?
EXACTLY
the thing that scares me the most about these is, i drive a VW beetle convertible. Its a small car. Meanwhile, Tesla literally suggested to people to remove their side mirrors for looks. In a 3 ton truck.
edit: I am well aware there are cameras which are meant to replace the physical mirrors. I am also an auto technician who has seen many cars, some only a few years old, with broken cameras and sensors. I like cameras and sensors as a backup, but do not want to rely on them.
At least, the cameras remain, so it's not that big difference than any modern semi with the camera mirrors. The question is, where are you going to see the picture from those cameras. I hope, not on the center screen, which would be stupid AF.
This azzhole's crap vehicles have killed biker buds. They stop traffic at will in San Francisco and other areas so the alien big buck boy can test his unsafe products. There is a vid of a bus driver pounding on the hood of one because it kept messing up his schedule. They have to wait until a Musk-y geek comes along and retrieves their pile of woe. They aren't that great for the environment during their life cycle and you'd best not be in an accident when one catches on fire near you. They can reignite for days. That's why they keep any fire suppression blankies used on scene with the tow company so the crap pile won't burn up their yard.
I'd wager that most accidents are caused by people who don't use those mirrors anyway. Maybe Tesla has a better way?
??? As much criticisms as Tesla deserves... this is NOT one of them. Removing mirrors is to make the car more aerodynamic, the whole electric car segment has been trying to get rid of mirrors in favor of camera/monitor in order to gain more efficiency... This should have been done a long time ago with gas cars as well, but efficiency is nowhere near as critical for gas car buyers, and so the regulation has stayed requiring them..
cant in Australia, its a safety feature n it illegal to remove safety features you can change them but NOT REMOVE

I would wait for independent crash testing, it's hard to say by eye how the Cybertruck performs. That being said, Cybertruck appears to have a shorter period of slowing down the passenger compartment in the fair comparison with F-150, which means greater forces on the passengers.
Its the time it takes to stop, not the length of the crumple zone.
@@deus1655 Which is primarily limited by the length of the crumple zone.
Strength is the only other significant variable, and determines the smoothness and slope of the deceleration: too weak and there is a sudden spike of deceleration when the crumple zone 'bottoms out', too strong and the deceleration is too rapid to make much difference to the forces on the passengers.

I've got 5 years behind the wheel of my Tesla - almost exclusively driven in 1 pedal mode. I also have an ICE suv that (shocker) requires both pedals be used. It takes a tiny, insignificant, momentary lapse in muscle memory - not attention - muscle memory, and bam, you are now rocketing forward. I've had it happen once, for about a tenth of a second, and I nearly drove into traffic. One pedal creeping forward, decided I wouldn't make a gap safely, released the accelerator (causing full regen braking) and thought 'I wont stop in time with just regen' and put my foot down abruptly thinking it was the brake - since I was currently feeling braking forces while my foot was on *a* pedal. That's all it takes.
you’re absolutely right, i live in Germany and for a (import) cybertruck you would actually need a special truck/semi license (everything over 3500kg max weight).

I've wondered about the rigidity of the frame. Cars in the old days were like that and during collisions the force was transfered directly to the passengers resulting in crashes where the car survived but the passengers didn't. They decided people's lives were more important and cars were redesigned to have crumple zones which absorbed and redirected the energy around and away from the occupants.
I think the car is rigid since its intended to be a viable vehicle in space conditions. (even though 99.9% of people will never even get close to space)
I'd be interested in seeing how much force is applied to the passengers in these cyber truck collisions, because a major factor in safety isn't just crumple zones, but seat belts and airbags too. Crumple zones were applied before proper seat belts or airbags became standard, so we must keep that in mind as well when talking about older cars and safety
@@domosrage5434 Pedestrian don't have seat belts or airbags!
Indeed. While AIDRIVR may not see the difference. I do. Look at how far the mannequin goes into the airbag. That's... substantially more in the cybertruck. Which is TERRIFYING. Because in case you haven't seen one of these tests before, the energy it takes to go that far into the airbag ain't much less than what it takes to turn your organs into paste, I'd in fact argue its likely the same or even more given how the back of the mannequin in the cybertruck seems to snap, which would mean that's enough body to break a spine. I assure you, the spleen is weaker than the spine. Don't know who needed to learn that, but there it is.
So yeah... This mess looks like a deathtrap for everyone involved. Not to mention how the doors seem very easy to block up which would put the "trap" in death trap even more. I'm surprised its even legal, even by USA standards. And I already find USA standards HORRIFYING as it is!

@@ulizez89 crumple zones are not for pedestrians either.

What scares me is that people can't tell the accelerator from the break pedal any more.
the partial crash test is to prevent cheating because cars were getting better at full frontal but did poorly in head on collisions. Getting both right is important so would prefer to see the full crash tests instead.
Exactly, also, correct me if I am wrong, but partial crashes are way way more common than head on collisions.
Also the way he said "Your strict pedestrian impact testing", those are not strict as they could be, look at any modern car that's being sold in the EU.
Cybertruck is a moving blade and should not be allowed anywhere as of now.
Then they should have compared partial to partial.
@@samuelbucher5189then Tesla Should arrange to have its vehicles tested by IIHS
@@samuelbucher5189 and that is what did not happen. In a full frontal the trucks will crumple less because there is more mass to crumple. I've had a full frontal with a concrete barrier before, the old car stopped it easily without much Gs on me. One of the key features cars have in a full frontal is to lengthen the collision time by going up as we know from trigonometry that results in a longer path. However partial tests are more important if you care about road safety because thats whats going to happen if you hit a tree or have a head on collision and thats why this comparison shown in the video is incomplete or inconclusive. The heavier the vehicle the harder it will be to lift up as well in a full frontal to extend the crash duration. Ofcourse being crash incompatible is a problem but the cybertruck seems to have a lower bumper than the other display trucks that pretend to be a full semi. At least it isnt pretending to be a full semi.
And knowing Musk, I'm sure it's not just a coincidence those aren't included here.
Something that amazes me is that everyone forgot that bullet proof glass on a civilian car is completely useless, just add weight so you take more energy. It’s even dangerous in a case of a crash, in a standard car you take your head rest and smash it in the window to leave the car. In the cybertruck, you’ll have to pray that the firefighter get at you fast.
The glass isn't bullet proof. Just shatter resistant beyond normal glass.
So far everyone has gave their opinion on accidents of the cyber truck hitting property/people but imagine how easy it is now for people to get their hands on a crowd plough and can then boost away or even attempt to ram higher grade audiences. All while appearing like a normal unmodded vehicle.
Don't know what nonsense world you live in, but the last 2 vehicles I owned the headrests were not removable.
@@TheDgdimick in fact, on some vehicle they can’t be removed, that’s why you can buy a little tool that you put in your glove box. It’s like a mini hammer but with a sharp metal end that way you can break the window, if it’s not bullet proof.
it's a marketing point, which is especially effective for a pickup truck trying to be "tough" and "masculine"
Nice one mate for calling out all the BS. I wish there were a lot more people like you on this God-forsaken platform we call KRplus.
Biggest issue is the cyber truck locking you in and all electronic shutdown. They happen frequently with no accident required
The thing is. The car might be just as 'safe' as other trucks. But you have to realize what happens when it crashes With other smaller types of cars which is where it starts getting lethal
A typical Tesla or other E-Car weighs the same as my Chevy pickup truck when empty. 5ooo lbs.
Yes, a weapons race has started long ago. Ironically, it's the safety measures that drives it.
Womp womp
Tbh, I'd rather be in a sturdy box that would protect my family than sacrifice half of it to crumple zone saving some asshole speeding on his rigged Toyota
Safety of others is very low priority in such situations
Yes and no. Cars have a less tendency to roll over in a side impact, trucks and vans roll very easy in side impacts.
There were a ton of people that complained when the Hummer EV was released. Lots of articles shortly thereafter about the problem with big trucks and the dangers of heavier weights in collisions. I think the cybertruck complaints got noticed more because it's so different.
There's a growing voice in general about how absurdly wreckless car companies have gotten with these massive vehicles
yeah theres a growing discourse about how utterly negligent our regulations are here in the us, the cyber truck is just one of the most visible examples, those hummer evs are one of the dumbest, most recklessly designed things i've ever seen
the cybertruck gets noticed because in is so ugly and functionless. trucks are for hauling and towing, an this thing cannot accept a 5th wheel or have a bed big enough to carry a toothbrush. It would make an excellent can opener, however, as all the corners could easily open big 55 gallon cans. And if hit by the front corners of this truck, a pedestrian will be cleanly and instantaniously be cut in two! Yuk!
@bartlevenson Only thing, it has a space for 5th tyre, just you have to order it as an extra, Goodyear custom-made sculpturevwith 2part rim cover. It's jyst money and sliding rear cover for looks. And a lot of greasy fingerprints, despite not being painted. Oh and panel gaps sure could open various things, as they're mostly non-consistent. Otherwise i agree.
Cybertruck is 3000lbs lighter than the Hummer ev.
i can tell you for when i once in a moon have a dream that involved me driving, pedal misapplication happens in half of them and it is freaking scary
Totally agree - it's a scary moment when some truck comes up behind you and you can't even see their headlights.
If that scares you wait untill you see a 18 wheeler. Teasing aside. We do way more dangerous stuff than share the road with these all the time.
you'll notice the eyesore in your mirrors 😂
@@PharozosIn Europe, lorry driver must have C license, or C+E for lorry+trailer. They don’t hand out those like it’s Christmas, they are limited to 90 km/h, and are under bigger scrutiny.

Now, every cun- I mean, person here can buy a RAM, and those drivers have the regular B license like. I’m sorry, but I put more trust into the professional driver, over some wanna be cowboy with small genitalia complex.

Get a bigger truck.
I knew of a case where a little old lady went to her agent's office, paid her car insurance premium, came out, got her pedals mixed up, and drove her Lincoln Town Car through four rooms of the insurance office, until the building's back wall stopped her. She told the police "The harder I pushed on the brake, the faster it went!"
So the insurance company was doubly screwed.
@@bificommander7472 Pretty much! Even the building owner was the insurance agent himself. Fortunately, no one was injured at all. The agent was most concerned that all of his office's computers were destroyed, but all data were backed up at corporate. The company overnighted him a whole new set of computers with all software and data installed like nothing had happened. He was back in business the next morning.
I agree. The issue isn't the car manufacturers making heavy cars with INSANE acceleration. It's state DMVs allowing anyone to get these trucks. If California changed who was allowed to get trucks and heavy vehicles, the market would react. We did it with fuel efficiency standards. There should be a specific reason to get a truck, otherwise you get a sedan. I'm a college commuter student and it's ODD seeing trucks in the parking lots and structures.
Ah yes the durable stainless steel just make sure it doesn’t start rusting away by the 5th day
The panels haven't rusted. The panels get surface stains from airborne iron particles landing on them during manufacture and shipping.
It isn't the panels themselves rusting.
There are cleaning products that prevent it that should he used right when you get it.
Actually, the worst thing about the crash test is how the driver dummy's had snaps back with force after hitting the airbag, something that *does not* happen in the F150 test you compared it to.
There are videos out there analyzing exactly these two tests and in the F150 video it takes a lot longer for the driver's head to come to a full stop, which means less impact, and less trauma.
This part was considered bad for the F150 (one of the less successful aspects in its test) so it must be much worse for the Cybertruck.
Also, you might want to mention that its design makes it illegal to drive in EU, since unlike the US they have proper pedestrian safety laws, with which the CYbertruck is not compliant, while the F150 is.
That said, it's an open question why anyone in the EU would want to drive either vehicle. We have much more practical pickup trucks for work that calls for it (e.g. construction, see Iveco Daily with a truck bed and Piaggio Porter), more practical work vehicles for other things (i.e. vans), and when it comes to showing off various German manufactures have your back.
F150s may be legal here, but nobody is buying them. The biggest pickup I've seen all year were a couple Ford Rangers, and a RAM 1500 last year (which at stock ride height towered over my stock wagon, as in my eye level was at the top of that things tire). Nobody here wants either of these 2, because they also don't fit in regular lanes, let alone parking lots. Model Y's are literally line-to-line here, while I have a comfy 30ish cm on either side of my wagon
@@istvanlorinczi2817 Yes, at my workplace, Ford Mazda and Suzuki dealer, we have a few rangers, usually company cars, where they need the added ruggedness you dont get from a van. But those are pretty big compared to everything else on the road. I have seen a few Ram 3500 where i live, and they dont fit anywhere
Where are you getting your information? Are you just stating what you think is accurate based off your location and how many you see in your location? Do yourself a quick Google search and you will see the F series is the most purchased 1/2 ton for 2023. I have a new 2022 F-150 Supercrew and it fits in lanes just fine. It's also not at all hard to park even in small spaces, given I have the 360 camera package which does help make it easier. I think you've never owned a fullsized, and are just spitting out a lot of opinionated assumptions.@@istvanlorinczi2817
The dummys head position means absolutely nothing without having the telemetry and sensor data. This is why you can't trust internet experts. The neck could just as easily be bending because its a different airbag, or a different seating position, or a different dummy. No real expert is going to draw these kinds of conclusions from a video clip without the sensor data. The actual crash testing groups look at the actual data. So, go look at what they rate the Cybertruck when its out and see what they rate it.
Morons on the internet think that using stainless steel body panels somehow has ANYTHING to do with crumple zones. The part that does the crumpling is never the sheet metal. Its the crash beams and frame/subframe elements doing the crumpling. The Cybertruck has those just like any other vehicle. The fact that its sheetmetal doesn't bend and dent as much means exactly nothing.
it's not about the crumple zone, it's about the movement of the front occupants heads and the sudden impact with the airbag, you will notice with all of the other vehicles the front occupants heads travel much further before they come to a stop, this is by design, it prevents permanent brain damage
Read about the totaled Altis hitting a cybertruck? Whats interesting in the article was the one injured was the occupant of the CT and the guy in the totalled Altis was alright. IDK how accurate the article is but....
Doesn't matter, buyers of the CT are already braindead.
Yea the Cybertruck guy was "injured" while the altis guy was not because the altis guy was at fault in the accident.@@stpatr3k
"prevents permanent brain damage"
...well that won't be necessary for the people buying a Cybertruck
Have they ever crash tested an Abrahms tank? I want to see how safe our troops are. Anybody can go rent a 60,000lb wheel loader and road it down the street.
Normally you don't drive into a wall but into another car and I suspect that the Cybertruck will simply crush any other "normal" car. Would like to see a Test: Cybertruck vs Mercedes G-Class!
My only concerns are A, obviously a pedestrian collision would be a minor inconvenience for the steel frame but almost certainly deadly for the victim, and B if i was in a front end collision with a bullet shaped aerospace steel armored truck im gonna die and they'll be fine
Honestly, any pedestrian collision can be deadly, it just boils down to what badge you want to be stamped by when you die.
Yea, you'll buff right off.
Sounds like a you problem
I’m pretty sure an f150 hitting a person has the same effect.
@@skyluke9476 Yeah honestly this "concern" doesnt make a ton of sense. Getting hit at high speed by a truck is going to kill you/mess you up horribly. Like, you're a pedestrian getting hit by a truck. What else could possibly happen.
Interesting insights. I'm from germany and I share your aversion to seeing people alone in these huge SUV's, looking down on their phone, blasting through the city. I'm a cyclist, so this stuff scares me alot. But these sharp edges on the cybertruck are something else man :D it will never drive in germany...
it is banned in europe...
Cyclists scare me. They rarely follow the rules and expect me to be able to see them while breaking the rules.
"it will never drive in germany." Just as the Unimog, Ford Transit, Fiat Ducato, VW Crafter, VW IDBuzz, Iveco Daily.

"It scares me." You better stay inside then.
If the side impact collision test isn't a tell all, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of physics.
there definitely should be a required license to drive a truck over a certain weight.
the fact that anyone with a basic license they got when they where a teenager can get a massive truck with zero oversight is just stupid.
There is in Europe alteast, for a normal drivers licence the car may not exceeding 3,500 kilograms (7,700 lb)

Thanks for the video putting the Cybertruck in context. I think there's something quintessentially American to say that they don't care if what they're doing reduces the safety of everyone around them as long as it makes it safer for themselves.

As a South Korean, I had never seen an American pickup truck, so I didn't understand why people were saying they were dangerous. That was until a neighbor of mine bought a Chevy Colorado. It made me wonder why these things aren't classified as weapons.
But you’re OK with buses and delivery trucks?
A teenage kid got a Tesla for his birthday he ran into our house at the end of this block on his first drive. You can find this on KRplus.
Love the fact that you say people aren't giving an accurate comparison when you did the same, the full frontal crash @1:50 and the side impact test @2:28 are two entirely different models of F150s. One was a Lightning with a full battery pack and low center of gravity (like the cybertruck). The other is an XLT model, that means it's a gas powered vehicle and not an electric vehicle, hence no low center of gravity to prevent roll over.
@CentralStormz Yep! I did the KRplus research for him just now in a matter of seconds: "2022-2024 Ford F-150 Lightning EV NHTSA MDB Side Crash Test". SMH 😏🤣
tesla fan boys are rabid they will lie through there teeth to "Prove" they are better.
Nice catch. I felt like he was living under a rock when he said @6:40 "I didn't hear anyone complaining about safety when the Hummer EV was released." Like what bro, where you at.
Overall a good video, America definitely has a mental illness that causes people to buy larger and larger trucks. After all, the F150 is Americas most popular Grocery-Getter
AI DRIVR being a non-expert while blaming a non-expert lol
I think the main reason they're attacking the Cybertruck is because it's made by Tesla and Elon, and one half of the political spectrum is now required by decree to hate everything he and his companies do, even if it's actually good.
5:52 I still remember a very dramatic example of this. My company used to load new cars onto railcars. One morning when I came in late, I see a railcar door that’s been pried wide open at the top deck, and a car on it’s roof 20 feet below. Turns out one of the few coworkers I hated there (she was a two faced, backstabbing, habitual liar that thought she was above everyone), had pressed the gas instead of the brakes and launched herself of the top deck and fell 20 feet. She shattered her ankle and we never saw her again. We found out that she lied (shocker) about a brake malfunction. So the company that built the car took it back inside and did diagnostics on the crash. They found out that a few seconds before the crash, she applied 100% accelerator and 0% brakes according to the computer’s “black box”. Glad she was gone though. Sucks that a car had to get destroyed for it though.
Where they Crown Vics you were loading by chance? I knew a few guys that did the same job
@@juggernautjim7719 Not crown vics in this case. However, that is a fantastic guess, as it was the other big Ford assembly plant in Ontario. We were loading Ford Edges, Ford Flexes, Lincoln MKX’s, and Lincoln MKT’s. AND I actually did work shipping the crown vics, but it was only for 2 days in 2010 when the guys in St. Thomas were too burnt out to ship everything themselves that weekend. unfortunately, I don’t remember any of the names of the people that we were shipping with in St. Thomas though. But yes, Autoport was a great gig.
Don't be too hard on her for "lying" for pressing the wrong pedal (the rest of the stuff she did is fair game though). Far, far too many people do this. You are confident that you are pressing the brake and the car keeps going. You then press harder but are now panicking, so you are unable to think clearly. At that point you are simply hitting what you think is the brake while trying to steer around obstacles. All of this typically happens in a matter of seconds, not even enough time to tell yourself that you are on the wrong pedal.
@@anthonypelchat It's because of piss poor driver training. People are allowed to drive cars without even knowing the bare basics about how they work. I'm not saying everyone needs a BAR certified mechanic, But basic understanding of car workings goes a long way. Also just basic vehicle operation and literacy is so far down from what it once was. People need to be trained to operate complex machinery, and we aren't doing that.
@@GregoryVeizades I agree. We probably also need better training before larger vehicles are allowed to be driven. Won't ever happen though. We will have fully self driving cars before we have a mostly safely driving population.
"Tell me if I'm missing something here."
Yes, look at the force for the driver in the F150 vs the Cybertruck. All of the force is being transmitted to the passengers. That's the crumple zones in action on the F150.
Tesla DumpsterX: all of the benefits of a dumpster, but with an engine.
Remember the hyperloop? Now you, Have a place to put it.
*What critics are saying: "DumpsterX & Hyperloop, match made in a landfill!"*
😂😂😂
You overlooked one thing with the crumple zone, it is there to absorb the impact which it does so noticeably worse then the other full frontal crash. You can see the dummy basically contorting their spine as they get a lot less travel distance
His point was that ANY car or truck that hits an absolutely immovable object is going to be pain. Small differences like this don't warrant all the hate; there are cars and trucks with worse frontal collision scores.
The Cybertruck getting hit at all will probably be a write off for the insurance company! They will not let you drive it. EVs after accidents are totaled.

"Strict" pedestrian impact testing, you mean 'logical'. You make a good point, although I think the cybertruck is an awful car and extremely unsafe so are 99% of pickup trucks, thankfully we don't see them in Europe/UK.

"Space grade stainless steel" with zero clear coat. Cybertruck Manual: To Prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosives substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout.). So either pay the extra 5K to have the urethane-based film put on it, keep it garage parked or clean the truck every time you use it.
Not every time. And there are products that prolong the time needed between cleaning.
For quite a number of years, there were a LOT of rather new Nissan Leafs that had front-damage only. My hypothesis is that the drivers weren't expecting EV level acceleration, and accelerated themselves into an accident
as a European, i'm crying at the lack of slant of those truck hoods, that shit can not be good for visibility
oh absolutlety not, did you know that i think it was the escalade that was tested; it takes about five children lined up next to eachother before the driver can see the top of one kids head? horrifying.
I am in the UK and I use a RAM 2500 for moving logs into the house during this colder season. I feel like a terminator using that thing on small back roads. It truly makes you realise how daft they are when Doris in her Honda Jazz is having to drive into a ditch just so I can get past in this stupid thing. For the record I do enjoy using it offroad and a load bed is perfect for unsplit logs
Edit: I love that the average response from Americans is not that we should make smaller vehicles that are safer and more economical. But that we should make roads bigger, ruining the countryside
That last reason is part of why trucks have gotten bigger but it seems people over exaggerate how big normal duty trucks are because my 92 Chevy 1500 is only 700lbs lighter than a 2023 one.
So what's the alternative? You wanna haul those logs with the Honda Jazz?
I've driven a Fuso Canter with the biggest cargo box legally possible and never felt bad when it came to tight situations and others do not seem to care much either, cause most people know that those big vehicles are working for them too.
We can all be cool with each other 24/7, 365 days a year. From Cybertruck to Renault Twingo. Nobody has to be in a hurry 🙂

But then if you travel above 25 miles an hour it's the same anyway.. And everyone does that.. Hopefully all cars eventually will have collision avoidance that is 99% effective.
