What do you mean? It's basically steel blades and sharp/pointy edges on wheels. I'm sure other vehicles will hurt if they hit a pedestrian at speed, but even getting hit at 5 mph by the cybertruck could create very dangerous wounds.
An F150 or Dodge RAM, despite being ludicrously large, is much less dangerous than the cybertruck at low speeds because instead of sharp and jagged protrusions they just have a smooth wall-like front end.
At high speeds? Compare their weights and you'll see that making a pickup truck electric also makes it really heavy.
At high speeds pedestrians are dead anyway. The problem with extra weight is that over a certain weight trucks plow through safety barriers into oncoming traffic when get loose control
Is it actually hard to tell when someone says something like this that they’re referring to extreme points along a spectrum?
Nobody would interpret “the Cybertruck is really bad for pedestrian safety” as “all other trucks are completely fine” or frankly even as “bicycles and rollerblades pose no risk at all to pedestrians.”
LinkedIn claims it has "1 billion members in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide". You can build a similar platform, but you cannot get the network effect of one billion people that easily.

> And these companies, they use the same kind of central planning that we so despise in communist systems. I know. I’ve done it.
The work of János Kornai made us realize that it is impossible to find an exact solution for economic planning, so a completely centrally planned economy is destined to have major inefficiencies (he was also a notable inspiration for the Chinese reformers). It also seems like some kind of planning is inevitable in market economies to achieve long term goals as market prioritizes short term gains.
I mean that's not a Cybertruck-exclusive problem
