Where is the damage?

Mission accomplished!

OP signs up for a new account. Drops photos of an unfortunate event, makes the post seem neutral, then drops a conspiracy theory about visibility issues and that it's to blame. Moves on to the next mission of spreading FUD.

The blind spot is pretty bad in the CT. I have to move my upper body all around to clearly see. Especially when driving in front of stores where pedestrians are walking.

oh puh-lease. its not bad if you pay attention

I’m sorry you have to deal with this. I’ve had a couple close calls because of the Blindspot. I expect they’ll figure out new design for the next generation. It’s really unsafe.

you mean YOU are unsafe

Vehicles have blind spots. Larger vehicles have larger blind spots. What we have here is a lot of folks buying the CT who have not driven large trucks before. People need to simply pay attention.

The a-pillar on my Silverado is huge. Should GM re-design their pickup trucks? I have a feeling it's not happening

The Blindspot is much further forward in the cybertruck. I never had this problem with my Silverado or driving an HD 2500 or F150. From my experience, The cyber truck has a much worse Blindspot than any vehicle of driven and owned various SUVs and trucks.

Not unsafe. Just requires proper clearing from the driver.

If I could I would pay a decent amount of money to turn the rectangular window into a screen showing the feed from a camera pointing straight out. At an angle similar to the driver’s point of view. So I guess what I am saying is that the risk reflects what the market is willing to pay to remedy it. We might never know.

It's certainly different, just requires different head movement.

I found this thread which is funny.

For whatever reason I don’t find it hard to see around the blind spot area or think it has a big blind spot. I wonder if it is different for taller people? Both myself and my wife are over 6’2”

Could it be something like that? I feel like I can see very well.

Sucks about the crash. Hope you get it back soon and everyone is not hurt.

I was going to say the same thing. I know for certain my silverado's A pillar is bigger than the cybertruck. And I will admit that there have been at least a few occasions where it has perfectly matched the speed of cars coming up (particularly on angled intersections). This is why you have to look and then look again.

I'm 5'4' and the small side window works great for me, probably because I have the seat high and forward.

I personally don't think the Apillar is an issue at all. I'm used to driving cars with low visibility, so I use common sense to always know what's around my vehicle. Use your head, literally, just move your dome around and you'll see just fine. I have zero complaints.

Adjust your seat higher if you are shorter, it could help - but it's not an issue at all if you're paying attention and not being dumbasses like what happened here.

Hilarious. The response from Taco drivers: "Why are you whining? Just move your head to see around the pillar." These dudes have wisdom.
