Rasied this being an issue on the Marces Brown video, the finishing on those panels is pretty backyard with exposed edges of pretty sharp steel. I also think the steel is going to look like shit after a couple of years when the coatings fade off. Also bulletproof panels don't necessarily lead to safe crumple zones which doesn't bode well for them in Europe at least. A lot of design choices for people who are scared of driving, which usually makes them really bad for use in a public space.

People are going to be pissed when they find out cyclists lose in collisions against any vehicle, not just prototype electric trucks.

That doesn't mean some vehicles aren't much worse than others.

Raises concerns just now? There's a reason why civilian cars don't look like military atvs - because they are not military atvs
