    The moderate overlap front test represents an offset crash between two vehicles traveling in opposite directions at a little under 40 mph each.

      And the reason it does well is, I suppose, because it would slash the other vehicle out of its occupants’ way.

        Second paragraph of the article:

        The severity of a frontal crash depends on the vehicle’s weight, so ratings in this test can only be compared among vehicles of similar weight.

        Yes, it is safer to be in a heavier vehicle in a crash. However, there are differences among heavy vehicles as well. The F150 Lightning for example did worse.

        It’s obvious that you desperately want the Cybertruck to be an unsafe vehicle but the reality is that compared to other vehicles of the same class it’s not. You can view the full report here.

          Dude, I’m not the OC. And I was talking about the CT’s angles protecting its own occupants in this scenario.

          It’s obvious you desperately want to start an internet argument. May I suggest you to touch some grass.
