This thing is huge, it does 0-60 in under 3 seconds, has sharp angles, and its styling does not seem to target the sensible end of the market... It's like an industrial strength pedestrian destroyer.

And as a bonus it actually looks like something out of Carmageddon.

I shudder to think what one of those cybertrucks would do if it tried to plow through a crowd of protesters.

Probably 0-60 in 4 seconds

Probably about the same thing as any other vehicle.

Jesus are we really gonna pretend this is the first vehicle that would obliterate a pedestrian in a collision?
