We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities.

i remember those. had one for a short bit. i actually liked the car.. but ya know, being a teenager, you'd like pretty much any car if it was the only one you had to drive.

My dad had a friend who once had a job basically slapping the rear end from one Pinto onto the front end of another, and he said that one time a safety inspector remarked that he was making them safer than they were rolling out of the factory.
