Looks like Tesla are still catching up to 1950s level technology.
The Mercedes-Benz patent number 854157, granted in 1952, describes the decisive feature of passive safety. [Mercedes engineer Béla] Barényi questioned the opinion that had prevailed until then that a safe car had to be rigid. He divided the car body into three sections: the rigid non-deforming passenger compartment and the crumple zones in the front and the rear.

There's also a bunch of reddit threads from around the time of the original Cybertruck announcement full of Musklickers saying of course it'll be a super safe vehicle and dumping on anyone who even suggests caution.

What if the crumple zone was the other car though? I drive away unscathed after you crumple like a fool!
World's funniest tragedy of the commons
