Cybertruck's Angular Design Concerns Experts

Days after Elon Musk's Tesla launched the Cybertruck, safety experts expressed concerns about the electric pickup truck's angular design and said its stainless-steel exoskeleton could hurt pedestrians and cyclists and damage other vehicles on roads.   

Experts Demand Crash-Test Data

During the launch event in Austin, Texas on Nov 30, Tesla live-streamed crash test videos, following which experts told the news agency Reuters that they needed crash-test data to reach firm conclusions about the safety.

Crash Test Videos 'Alarming'

Experts also said they were alarmed by the crash test videos released by Tesla, adding the heavy weight of the trucks and their high acceleration "raise red flags for non-occupants."

Potassium Levels

Excessive intake of ACV can lead to a decrease in potassium levels in the body. Low potassium levels can cause muscle weakness, cramps, and irregular heart rhythms.
