If you can't safely take the Cybertruck to a car wash, I wonder how it will fare as a boat?

Isn't 0 to 60mph in 1 sec equivalent to ~2.7g

Kind of dangerous considering Saturn V reached a maximum of 4g during its first stage burn

Do people really believe this shit?

Yeah, that is a particularly funny aspect of the whole point to point rocket thing.

It would only even theoretically be safe for basically trained military pilots and astronauts.

You shove a bunch of random rich assholes onto one?

Heart attacks galore, basically.
