A low sharp front is what you want if you get hit by a vehicle at speed. A high blunt front might be less likely to break your legs but more likely to kill you.
"Sharp" as in "low to the ground", not a literal sharp angle. A car with a low, rounded front won't maim as badly as the Cybertruck's sharp angle aimed at your torso.
What the article calls "blunt" (the thing that kills peds the most) is pretty much what the Cybertruck maximized.
The people who would consider buying an F150 or a sprinter van are not the people who would buy a Cybertruck. Smaller bed, can't tow nearly as much, lower range. The dominant market for this truck is going to be people who may as well buy a Model 3.
I was thinking Model X. Tesla has all but forgotten they make a Model X. It is incredibly dated, incredibly flawed, and has a reputation for being an awful SUV from a maintenance and gremlins perspective.
But this decision makes sense if you consider the CT to be the replacement. Perfect for soccer moms and weekend warriors. Comfortable enough for day to day use and taking the family on a weekend trip, while still fitting your entire Costco haul.
