it would be funny if it wasn't so fucking terrifying that this giant wedge of unyielding, purposefully crumple zone free metal is operated either by a tesla "autopilot" or the least reasonable bazinga brains on the planet

One of my favorite (read: existentially terrifying) things about these bazinga mobiles is that there's such an emphasis on how fast they can accelerate too.

The 0-60 on a cybertruck is faster than a brand new Ferrari and the truck weighs twice the Ferrari. Force is a function of mass and acceleration. Doubling the mass doubles the force and when it's already at speed, it doubles the kinetic energy. All that to say, it'll be very effective at smashing whatever it hits.

Much in the same way you could never take any nobel peace prize seriously after Kissinger got one I'd argue Biden showing off the 8-Ton-E-Hummer "Obliterate your enemy edition" is the point where anything that is being said by the state as per traffic safety is to be immediatly discared on a, and excuse the redditism here, basis of "Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer"

Tesla says the Cyberbeast can hit 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds, The dual-motor Cybertruck weighs 6603 lbs /3007 kg, while the three-motor Cyberbeast weighs in at 6843 lbs / 3103 kg

2019 Ferrari F8 Tributo accelerated from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds, The Ferrari F8 Tributo 3.9 V8 weighs 1495 Kg / 3296 lbs.

I see, so it's the mass of a stock military Hummer with an order of magnitude more power to weight ratio. I cannot wait to see the first police chase in the US involving one.
