Musk Fanboys Melt Down After Ralph Nader-Founded Car Safety Group Trashes Cybertruck
From the Rolling Stone:

Only a select few people who pre-ordered Teslas long-delayed Cybertruck have received one so far it helps to be Jay Leno, apparently but fans of the futuristic vehicle have already convinced themselves its a flawless product, and another triumph for Elon Musk. And theyre just a tad defensive when someone suggests otherwise.
On Thursday, the Center for Auto Safety took a swipe at the divisive truck in a tweet joking that anyone who drives one is insecure about their manhood and was picked last in gym. The nonprofit consumer advocacy organization also asserted that the Cybertruck will be dangerous to everyone else on the road.
At over 6k lbs no one will ever doubt your manhood again. We get it. You were picked last in gym and now you want revenge. But this isn't the answer. Buying this is why you were picked last. It's desperate and dangerous to everyone else on the road. Stop being picked last. pic.twitter.com/FfsUkz4vbf

While the post didnt specify why the truck could pose a particular hazard, other car safety experts have said that its stiff, stainless-steel panels could contribute to additional damage in collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. (At the Cybertruck delivery event last month, Musk told prospective owners, If you have an argument with another car, you will win.) The truck is currently not available in the European Union due in part to regulatory issues, and a Tesla vice president has confirmed its unlikely to ever be sold in that market.
Yet none of these concerns have afflicted Musks army of blue-check loyalists on X (formerly Twitter), who also dont seem to realize that the Center for Auto Safety, founded in 1970 by activist Ralph Nader, and Consumers Union (now Consumers Report), has been instrumental in the recall of millions of defective vehicles and parts in the past half-century.
This cant be a real organization, griped one ill-informed Cybertruck defender. Safest truck ever produced, replied another, with zero specifics to back up this claim. (Neither U.S. safety regulators nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety have tested it to date.) Ad hominem is always a true indicator of objectivity and critical thinking, seethed a third. Some paid accounts accused the nonprofit of corruption or being funded by Big Auto. (Tesla itself did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
