Never understood how the cybertruck got approved, isn't that deadly if it runs into someone with a front like that?

Yes and its why it will never be sold in the EU/UK as it won't pass safety tests. Its a pedestrian killer even at slower speeds. Sadly the US is all about the individual and not greater public safety. See their ridiculous guns laws.

He will 100% be supporting Trump in 2024 and telling his minions to vote for him (if not directly, then certainly indirectly).

He isn’t this thick so he’s just spreading disinformation. Non citizens can’t vote.
If it's classed as a light truck in the US it's subject to different regulations than cars.
Not really allowed in Europe but it may well turn out to be less deadly though regardless as obvs current regulations are for dumb vehicles without fancy sensors, self driving etc..

And immigration has made America more right-wing in places. Look at Florida. It used to be a swing state but now it’s a Republican stronghold thanks to immigration.

Pedestrian killer? In what way is it more deadly than a Ford ranger? Or a Land Rover?
Is this from immigrants voting or because of immigration?
yes they can, in quite a few states actually

The steel has no energy absorption and the sharp edges on the front that would literally cut someone in half?

It’s from immigrants voting. A lot of the immigration in Florida comes from Cuba and Cuban migrants tend to have a negative impression of left-wing leaders.
Are you implying the Cybertruck has any of that? Cause it doesn't...
Bizzare, what makes you think the cyber truck has no sensors and no capability for self driving?

Because Tesla started removing ultrasonic sensors to save money, and now rely on cameras and software only.
It has the "capability for self driving", but it doesn't have it yet, so what he said is entirely accurate as of today.

False, just checked and it comes with autopilot and the specs state there are front, rear and side parking sensors. There's also lane keeping, lane departure warning, front collision warning and automatic emergency steering.
I think what's getting muddled here is simply that they've forgone a front radar sensor for a camera... kinda moot given the camera now fulfills that role and it can still apply the safety features mentioned.
So back to the actual point being made, it's not a dumb vehicle, it has sensors and cameras and it has some level of automation/self-driving thus the point re: safety.

It's not false
Kyle of 'Out of spec reviews' has tested it extensively.

The range will be awful in cold weather. Pound for pound the cyber truck is worse than a 21 year old fiat panda. The cyber truck is just far too heavy.
