or, spun the other way - you're much more safe inside a cybertruck than any other car on the road.

That doesn't support your argument whatsoever. Generally the safest cars are the cars that break quickly. They absorb energy through breaking.
lol, are you safer in a tank or a smart car?

Maybe it depends on at what speed you are going.
Crumple zones exist in cars because it’s better that the car absorbs (and deforms in the process) the kinetic energy of a crash than you the passenger inside.
Depends on the situation. I don't think the race to the top here is a good idea. You definitely do not want tanks on the highway. That would be insane.
