      Move over Nissan Altima, you mean. Altima in the 10’s were catching on fire if hit in the trunk area.

        The popular police cruiser Crown Victoria was also a bomb on wheels because the fuel tanks were in the back and unprotected.

          Same with the jeep liberty. They hall have trailer hitches as a quick fix to protect the tank.

    To be fair, the Cybertruck was never designed to handle being touched by some water.

    I like the main debates in this thread are about how to put out battery fires, not any defense of the Cyberdump. We really do focus on what truly matters some days.

    I love how the featured article is: cybertruck got turned into a warthog with a working machine gun. At least something is working.
