I think this is more how negative the Cybertruck is trending. The Pinto had the same problem that most cars with a rear-mounted gas tank had in a rear-end accident, and the Corvair (Unsafe at Any Speed) wasn't significantly more unsafe than other cars at the time either. However, perceptions are reality, making it very difficult for a Cybertruck to sell either as a new car or as a used vehicle. Musk has been a bit over the top in promoting Autopilot as if it is a Level 4 ADAS system, which has also proven problematic, given it is only a Level 2+ system at best. Musk also doesn't believe in marketing, which means he has no control over the image of his cars or his brand when things go badly, and things are going very badly.
