Have you seen the edges of the CT ?

Just bring your grocery bags just in case, FSD will line it up and will already be cut into sirloin, rump etc.
I will no longer have fo carry my rifle then. Nor my hunting knife.

They should move the deer crossing signs to some place with less or slower traffic..like schools zones ;) (if you know, you know).

How do we think the CT will hold up hitting a deer on the highway? I hit one the other night with my Tundra at about 45mph, didn’t see it. Had to back up to find out what it was. Glanced off the plastic panel underneath the headlight. No damage, but it got my attention.

Will the stainless flex? Will the ‘frunk’ (hate that term) lid deform? If it goes over the top, will it just keep going because of the body rake and hardened windshield?

Really, do I need to consider a brush bar so I don’t have to pay to fix a stainless front end? I reviewed some posts on this from 2021 but the time is near and fresh thoughts are welcome on how hard this truck will be to repair. Thanks.
Dude, that deer is getting an express ticket to Mars

I saw one run into the [curvy mountain] road ahead of us and managed to slow down from 35 to maybe 10 before striking it. I saw it fly forward, get up, and bound into the forest. I felt awful and wondered if it later died. Were you asleep that you didn’t even see it? Or just driving fast? Someone said defensive driving and I would second that. Hitting and killing any living thing would be hard for me, not apparently for many here. No, I do not think you have to worry about sharp, 3 mm stainless steel.
