While Tesla was busy confessing to the California DMV that Autopilot was never real, FuelArc ran the numbers on the Cybertruck’s fire fatality rate against the Ford Pinto — the historic benchmark for corporate greed killing customers.

The Cybertruck is 17 times worse.

SEVENTEEN TIMES WORSE THAN A PINTO

Five fire fatalities in 34,438 vehicles gives the Cybertruck a fatality rate of 14.52 per 100,000 units.

The Ford Pinto, across a decade of production and 3.17 million vehicles, managed 0.85.

The Pinto became a national scandal.

The Cybertruck army of Elon Musk adherents sent a death threat to the journalist who did math.

The NHTSA still hasn’t crash-tested the Cybertruck. Tesla still hasn’t released official delivery numbers. And the company that just admitted its entire “driverless” branding was a lie is simultaneously selling an untested vehicle that burns its occupants at a rate that would have gotten any other manufacturer shut-down and hauled before Congress.

The Pinto at least had the excuse of being a Ford, and cheap.

The Cybertruck, marketed as a “survivalist” design, costs six figures for a barely operational bucket of half-baked bolts that kills faster than the Pinto.
