Yes, which is largely why I like the cybertruck. I live where people almost exclusively drive huge vehicles like the biggest SUVs or trucks. The cybertruck is the nearest to driving one of them that I’d want to go if only for the sake of my safety.

From a personal point of view I understand your reasoning, but people in sedans are safe when everyone else is in a sedan - likewise they are safe in a regular SUV, when others are in regular SUV. I don't think this vehicle toughness arms race is to the benefit of the customer.
