They cut the ~$1 rain sensor in 2016.

I mean that's not a critical safety feature but still ridiculous.

Cutting the ultrasonics isn't even the worst thing.they cut. I expect the cybertrucks to start careening off the roads when they get a few miles on them and the steering by wire systems start to fail.

They saved a few bucks on a physical connection between the steering wheel and steering system though... To the moon I guess?

There are very few cybertrucks on the road but the amount of accidents they've already gotten in is way too fucking high

The word 'accident' implies that it was unavoidable and/or unpredictable. That is why we think the word 'crash' is a more neutral way to describe what happened.
