NBC News: Elon Musk's Cybertruck Would Be Lethal to Pedestrians, Experts Say

Twitter

It's funny that NBC News is just now discovering that in a collision between a large, heavy car or truck and a light, compact one would do more damage to the smaller one. Their ace reporters have consulted with experts who say that Tesla's new Cybertruck could be lethal to pedestrians. Why are they publishing this just now, as the Cybertruck is rolled out? It's electric — we're all supposed to be driving electric vehicles. Is almost as though NBC News has an issue with Elon Musk.

A Cybertruck hitting a pedestrian could be lethal? They'd better recall all the Cybertrucks.

Mike Gagliardi reports in a piece headlined, "Pedestrians, already dying at record levels, now face Elon Musk’s Cybertruck":

Michael Brooks, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety — a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization — said the Cybertruck poses a variety of threats to pedestrians. 

According to Tesla’s website, the Cybertruck Cyberbeast model clocks in at 6,843 pounds, and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds. For comparison, the 2023 Ford F-150 starts at slightly more than 4,000 pounds, and can go from 0-60 mph in about 5.5 seconds. 

Brooks said the Cybertruck’s extreme acceleration capabilities, combined with its weight, means that drivers will have less time to react to pedestrians, and collisions with them will be deadlier. 

He said the Tesla Cybertruck will be dangerous to occupants of other cars, as well. 

“Just like Elon says —  If you have an argument with another car, you will win — so long as ‘winning’ means inflicting life-threatening damage to other humans on the road,” Brooks said.

So that's the expert. Oh, Gagliardi also talked to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which notes that “'Electrification is taking weight increases to another level that will lead to dangerous outcomes' … The weight of the batteries that power electric cars can add hundreds and sometimes thousands of pounds to vehicles."

Uh oh.

This is as transparent a hit piece against Elon Musk as any we've seen. How many more people will die because of the Cybertruck, which weighs the same as any other truck out there?
