So something wild happened to me yesterday.

I got punched in the face a whole bunch by some 40 yr old man with anger issue and piss poor impulse control.

I was driving (cause im a truck driver and it's my job) and i have my signal on to change into the far right lane in order to exit. There's no one close behind me and I'm going maybe 50 miles an hour right?

So I start moving over and as I'm moving, this white rig is coming up behind me in the same lane, but he's well and far away from me at this point and I have been merging pretty slowly because the road behind me is congested with standstill traffic from construction.

This white bobtailed asshole gets big mad about me merging and rolls into the right side shoulder, blaring his horn and speeding up around me to cut me off in the right lane.

Lemme repeat that. This dude deliberately drives onto the shoulder of the road to pass me. (This is because there was a truck on my left and he couldn't pass over there and was too impatient to abide the fucking law)

So he cuts me off and slams on his brakes to brake check me. And I'm going like, 47 mph right now and I'm just confused on what this fucker is trying to accomplish. We ALL had been sitting at a dead stop for like 30 minutes due to the construction, and it was a one lane road that opened into 3. So of course people are speeding up pretty slowly, and moving over to the lanes they need to be in like. What is this dudes fucking rush.

So I am trying to exit, I have my signal on, I'm slowing down specifically to exit cause there's a stoplight at that exit and I'm trying to get to the truck stop at that exit. This white bobtail takes the same exit, I'm not thinking much of it because why the fuck would I? I'm not the one pissing my pants over changing lanes.

Well I have to pull up at the light directly behind this dude because I'm trying to get to the flying j on that road. Light is red. This mother fucker jumps out of his truck, walks over to me and CLIMBS MY GOD DAMNED DOOR AND STARTS FUCKING PUNCHING ME IN THE FACE.

At the intersection.

So of course it draws attention because uh. WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT.

The trucks around me and their drivers start jumping out of their rigs to stop this dude because he's punching me and trying to pull me out of my fucking window, because I "cut him off"

And he finally stops and goes back to his rig and I'm just what the fuck.

So anyways. I got punched a bunch in the face yesterday and I have had a headache since then and my face and nose fucking hurt. 🙃

Yes, the Cybertruck is PSYCHOTICALLY INSANELY DANGEROUS TO ANYONE IN IT AND ANYONE ON THE ROAD WITH IT.

It not only has no crumple zones, which is already super duper deadly, but it is made of material with no shock absorption itself. Virtually ALL of the force of ANY impact will be transferred to any body inside it. Which doesn't mean a high speed accident will kill you, it means a 30 mile an hour bump could at least paralyze you. It is the single most recklessly dangerous tech to ever come out of the US auto industry and they kept leaded gas around for decades knowing it caused cancer just because it fucked up your engine so it'd need more work.

It is so heavy it will also kill anyone you hit. Which if your a Musk fibro who'd buy this piece of shit, I assume you don't actually care how many other people you kill to make you seem like your dick might be adequate, but regulators absolutely should.

And for a fun added bonus to the many ways this thing is a goddamn death trap, the glass has been upgraded since he embarrassed himself (and everyone watching secondhand) so it's insanely hard to break. Why does that matter? Because you really, really want the glass in your car to break (safety glass which breaks into cubic shapes rather than shards is standard for 40 years, so no breaking glass is not a serious risk, stopping believing movie writers paid attention in physics class, the ven diagram of fiction writers and physicists is very small). Because it's not at all hard for a dar door frame, even one made of steel to warp just enough to make it impossible to open, especially in a side impact.

How do firefighters get in to get you? The break the goddamn window. Need jaws of life? Needs an opening to widen (you know, like a fucking JAW) and that usually a broken window.

Car catch on fire? Because any car has shit that can catch on fire... how do they get you out fast? Break the fucking window. Unbreakable window? Fuck you're not even gonna need a big fire, a tiny one will kill you from smoke.

Literally everything about this is designed to kill you. Not just could kill, but actively chosen that way.

(Fun fact, Teslas used to be super safe because Tesla engineers were really great and Musk never engineered a fucking thing, he bought in to make himself feel like a big boy. Shit like their dangerous self driving and this, which I don't even have words to stress the danger and I read the entire English dictionary 4 times growing up -- I'm gonna have to ask B if he has any in his 703 other languages that adequately describe it... Russian cosmonauts had safer shit than this trying to just reach orbit in the 60s -- all of this is a result of Musk trying and failing to be Steve Jobs, himself not really an engineering guy, but gave direction on what he wanted. The difference is that Musk runs everything like Trump so the great engineers he had left or got fired to be replaced by bootlickers and he's a fucking moron, where Jobs actually hired and retained very good engineers, listened when they said "bad idea bc physics" and he was a solid futurist who also stayed in his lanes of what he knee and was good at -- didn't like him much but I'd give anything for Musk to die in this fucking truck, so it's really no contest. EVERYTHING MUSK TOUCHES DIES AND SO WILL YOU IF YOU BUY THIS TRUCK AND EVEN GET REAR ENDED)
