At the current rate of horrible fiery deaths, FuelArc projects the Cybertruck will have 14.52 fatalities per 100,000 units — far eclipsing the Pinto's 0.85. (In absolute terms, FuelArc found, 27 Pinto drivers died in fires, while five Cybertruck drivers have suffered the same fate, at least so far.)

Might have something to do with it looking fucking stupid.

I have no problem with something looking stupid. The problem for me is not just that it looks stupid, but that it is stupid. It's a stupid thing that shouldn't exist.

Most US trucks look fucking stupid. In my honest opinion.
