It can't hurt you. It either misses you or kill you, no risk of getting permanently paralyzed. That's a huge progress!
I don't think a pedestrian is surviving being hit by any vehicle at 75mph. You could wrap a Prius in down pillows and it's going to end messily.
Can confirm: Two halves of a deer are safer for pedophiles!
i hope someone slices elon in half
Holy shit how are these still legally drivable?!
My parents hit a deer at 40mph with their Forester and it turned into pink mist. The only "mass" left of it was just a head. I have no doubt the CT is not as safe as regular vehicles, but I don't think the outcome of object getting hit by something at 75mph is going to be an indicator of safety.
Do you work for Elon? This just seems... Super weird to say. Like, that's not how it works at all.
Their Forester must be stronger then most cars. I've hit a deer at 55mph in my Tacoma and there was damage to my truck and the deer definitely didn't mist. You see them hit on the freeway all the time by semi trucks and there are definitely huge pieces of the deer left. Enough that you know exactly what animal they were. Not saying that your parents car didn't magically poof the deer, but your parents car magically poofed the deer. Or you're not remembering correctly.
i hit a deer with my rivian r1t at 75. the deer walked away a bit then toppled over. the crumple zone of the truck was not happy, but no part of the deer was missing
Their car was nearly totaled. It's possible there were parts of the deer somewhere, but my wife, police, and tow truck driver weren't able to find any.
This is how it do.
Also, hey, Taco gang, lfg!
Yeah, I'd assume that a 75mph impact between human/deer and a vehicle is going to go badly regardless.
There is a lot of evidence that a low front with a significant upward slope (where a struck pedestrian is pushed up over the vehicle) is much safer for pedestrian collisions, but for quite awhile now the style has been flat or aggressive grills. Far from just the cyber truck that's guilty of this
One of the many reasons this death machine is banned in Europe
Regardless, there is a very large number of people trying their best to import it and finding a loop-hole to put these monstosities on the road.
For a car supposedly made of steel, that's an awful lot of plastic.
Built like the finest midgrade consumer laptops
Isn't the stainless steel like glued on or something? I swear they're only panels. If not, please correct me
don't give that Kennedy guy ideas
Lmao that piece of tin could never
