> I’m surprised that the article doesn’t mention the complete lack of pedestrian safety, which is so bad the truck can’t be sold in Europe

I mean that's not a Cybertruck-exclusive problem

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.

Hardly a Tesla problem though, the grill culture of suvs and trucks is a thing because pedestrian safety is not a design consideration.

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.”
