Ford’s CEO says he definitely didn’t pay for that viral video of a stuck Cybertruck needing a rescue on a snowy hill::undefined

Ooh that’s why it looked so empty with ad-blocker. I was super confused why 90% of the page was just blank white space.
thanks, with nothing visible below, I thought the 3 bullet points was a sorry excuse for an article.
But I just had to scroll a lot, then there was some actual content. 😀 👍
There’s nothing a dressed up truck driver likes more than pulling out someone stuck in the mud or snow. It’s like justification for everything they think they have a truck for and guaranteed they’ll tell you about it.
Considering the state of trucks today I can absolutely buy a cyber truck getting stuck and needing a tow. Like seriously init that thing like 100 grand. It’s just a another sedan with a tailgate instead of a trunk.

Except when your attention drifts away from the road at the just exact wrong moment and you get into a serious car crash with a small vehicle or pedestrian, instead of the image of the murdered human bodies crushed under the bloody hulk of your stupid pickup haunting you (and potentially your family) for the rest of your life, the low sloping hood of your sedan scooped the pedestrian up onto your hood or the bumper/crumple zone of your sedan engaged with the other vehicle and a bad day was just a really bad day.
Fuck huge pickups
I mean, the CyberTruck is much lower than those pick up trucks, and also has a slanted hood.
The truck could also pop the hood like the model 3 (edit highland, this is new feature) does to add a cushion zone for them, but it’s probably still too high to be as effective on a car?
I mentioned this before, but I’m really curious if any vehicle with an air suspension could drop the car lower before the pedestrian is hit. Just like they pop the hood on the 3, could it go lower it if there’s an imminent crash? Is there a way to go even lower than the lowest setting in emergencies? Seems like a good safety feature to add if not.
I’m still worried about the edge causing damage though even considering all the above, and it is still higher than a regular car.
Edit: Also if they raised the back suspension before an accident would that make for a better or worse hitting angle?
I believe him. You don’t need to pay for that kind of comedy, the Cybertruck is a joke on wheels
