There’s plenty of readily available IIHS data that shows a much lower death rate per mile driven with drivers of full sized trucks and SUV’s vs. other vehicle categories like mid-sized cars, etc.

Civil asset forfeiture without any kind of due process is obviously extremely bad policy and full of opportunity for malfeasance.

There’s a big difference between hitting a fixed barrier vs. another vehicle.

Tail end boomer here.

Yep, sightlines are ridiculously bad. Interestingly, there are still a few manufacturers who make a very good effort to have big glass and proper sightlines. Subaru and Tesla come to mind.

NP. Sure, why not.

Sorry about the pizza oven incident.

Crumple zones have been a thing for 40+ years, mate.

You didn’t answer my question about your technical credentials or industry experience, of course. Why not?

You haven’t presented anything specific or technical that proves any of your points others than “it’s what I think”.

“people like you”

From what I’ve seen, the glass isn’t bullet proof. As for the cold rolled sheet metal, it’s 0.12 thick vs. traditional being around 0.038.

Yep, “couldn’t” is correct now that I think about it. Common mistake on a common colloquialism.

They’ll need a lot longer cords.

That’s for sure.

Well, I wouldn’t take Musk’s hyperbole about the exoskeleton too seriously as he is definitely not the most disciplined CEO in his product descriptions as we’ve all been witness to many times.

As clueless takes go, yours is up there.

I could care less if other manufacturers have access to the Tesla network.

“Bullet proofing" has nothing to do with crash protection. Apples and oranges, bud.

Light duty trucks have to pass the same federally mandated NHTSA fixed barrier crash tests as cars do. They also have crumple zones to keep us meat sacks safe in a crash.
