@newsguyusa what a coincidence, it is also 17x uglier! amazing achievement

@newsguyusa The death threats at the bottom of the article…kinda expected from the Cybertruck fanbois.

@newsguyusa At least the Pinto was fun to drive!

@newsguyusa Well, this #wankpanzer is hot.

@newsguyusa This truck is a death trap. That said, they are counting in their statistics the Las Vegas event, where the truck did *not* catch fire. The driver deliberately exploded it.

@newsguyusa I drove a Ford Pinto, the “immolation special,” for years including several times across the country. That was before I knew about the dangers. I’m not worried about Teslas because we know about them now. I’m worried about the “don’t know” and “don’t know that I don’t know.”

@newsguyusa The good thing is nobody will miss the single incel men that get blown up in Cybercucks

@newsguyusa proof of Musks incalculable genius. He improved on a proven statistic by 17x! Genius! He can't stop winning!

@newsguyusa
Considering who is buying them I consider this Darwinism in action.

RE
3 million #fordpinto vs 70k #Cybertruck and number of accidents

The other factor is the driving skills of the Pinto vs the 🤪truck

@newsguyusa that fuelarc article just celebrated its 1st birthday. Fuelarc is heavily biased against EVs in general. I don't own a Tesla or any kind of EV at all but I would take any opinion from that Fuelarc with a few kilograms of salt.

@newsguyusa

How many did the US military purchase? Oh wait maybe they're just a new weapon system. The exploding whip.

@newsguyusa I'm seeing a remake of _The Spirit of '76_ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0100670/

@adamshostack @newsguyusa @boblord Musk can go f*** himself alright but this data is flawed. It even included the guy in Vegas who blew himself up.

@newsguyusa
Where's Ralph Nader, now that we need him?

@newsguyusa Objectively horrible cars for an objectively horrible price funding objectively horrible people!

@newsguyusa

Ford Pinto in 1973 needed to Hard Rear Ended to Explode.

CyberTrucks can just Explode at any time.

@ClimateJenny @newsguyusa you didn't have to sit on the hump

@meltedcheese @newsguyusa Most small cars of that era had similar issues, as almost all front engine/rear drive cars put the gas tank behind the axle in that era. On medium and larger cars, it often went ahead of the spare tire well, but on the smallest cars with short rear overhangs it had to go just ahead of the rear bumper.

What was unique about the Pinto wasn't the fires, it was Ford's decision that it being cheaper NOT to fix it, they would do nothing about it.

A Pinto driven today could be made much safer by replacing the probably rusted out old gas tank with a "fuel cell" racing gas tank that uses a very tough rubber bladder inside a metal tank and is designed to tolerate being smashed without bursting and dumping the fuel.

They are not cheap but they are a lot cheaper than a stay in the burn unit.

@genecowan @newsguyusa it was going to explode eventually
