compared to an f-150 lightning, it has roughly the same amount of crumpling. i think the panels around the front are just a little thinner than the steel panels the f-150 uses.

but both are far more dangerous than your average hatchback due to the visibility alone. you are literally allowed to remove all rear-view mirrors in america.

Iirc you only have to have one functional mirror, but that may vary by state.

A rear-view mirror really isn’t super necessary, though. If you angle your side view mirrors right, you can see enough to drive safely.

i do know the cybertruck has backup cameras and all that, but a little silver-coated piece of glass is hard to replace with cameras.

but if it’s allowed to be sold, and people are buying it, i don’t have any say in that. i just wish people would be more aware of their surroundings.

No, what I’m saying is that having a rear view isn’t necessary at all to drive safely. Panel vans, delivery trucks, semis, etc. don’t have them.
