Then I don’t know what other tests you’re referring to or what you’re basing the “deathtrap” remark on. IIHS is a non-profit organization that tests vehicle safety for both occupants and pedestrians, and the Cybertruck scored well above average compared to many other similar vehicles in its class.

In a front-end collision, you need enough rigidity to prevent the cabin from crumpling and crushing the passengers, but not so much that it fails to absorb the impact. Clearly, it’s not overly rigid - otherwise it wouldn’t have scored this well in the tests. It’s just rigid enough.
