So?

What is so bad about it. We have many things in life that waste energy for our entertainment or enjoyment. Seems pretty normal to me.

Yea you're entitled to your own opinion, no matter how stupid it may be.

Also energy is one thing, safety is another. This thing above has a sharp edge exactly where a kids head would be.

I don’t know what I did to you that you call me stupid. Tbh I don’t think it’s very nice or civilized… I didn’t call you names, I responded to your comment with an opinion to discuss it, just as you did, just as any two adults with different opinions would do (or at least all my friends and me that vote for democratic center parties). Anyway, is that everything, or do you have other names you want to call me?

“Safety is another thing”, well yes, of course it is. But then we have other dangerous things, railroad crossings, roller coasters, semi trucks, knives, guns the list goes on. Tesla as far as I know has great automated emergency stops, I would rather walk out in front of this thing, than any German produced car. (Don’t give me wrong, I love the German car industry, but we have to face facts and say that they are behind on safety.)

Again, I have no problem with this car or any car in particular. EVs are more efficient than public transport but less safe, I agree. Yes the Cyber Bucket is less safe than a more conventionally designed car. Should we block it from being sold here? No. Tesla has anyway lost all reputation after this year’s events, so not many will buy it anyway.

Point is that it's very unsafe to others because of its very sharp edges and design without crumple zone. In EU every car must pass certain safety regulations to be allowed on the road. There was a point in not allowing the Cybertruck, but now because of a questionable purely political exchange with a questionable US gov't such safety regulations being called into question.
