It's not normal. Current car designs absorb impact in their panels/crumple zones, with the frame providing protection. The panels are relatively easy to replace. The Cybertruck is very heavy, has steel panels and almost no crumple zone, it transfers all the energy to the other vehicle. The panels are very difficult to replace. What's going to happen, which also happened with SUVs, is "geniuses" are going to decide they want the more "safe" (aggressive, transfers all the danger) vehicle. Society could go in the direction of smaller, efficient, purpose built cars, which would be safer for everyone and have much less environmental impact, but Cybertruck by its design wants to go to a "Mad Max" world, and it being electric doesn't even make much sense since they're so big and heavy. And all because of Musk's ego creating a willingness to walk away from eco credibility.
The irony, of course, is that "Mad Max" the character would probably prefer small efficient vehicles, since he's aggressed by the Cybertruck outcome.
IMO regulators should not have let this thing on the road. Musk could create a fantastic pickup that is not inherently a hazard. Regulators are too timid these days (probably because extreme people are so extreme these days).
