A study says the Cybertruck is 17x more dangerous than the Pinto which was a firetrap.

gas tank behind the rear bumper, so getting rear-ended badly enough could cause a fireball

The 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee had the same issue, with higher fatality rate per fire crash

On October 2, 2009, the Center for Auto Safety filed a safety defect petition for the recall of all 1993–04 Jeep Grand Cherokees with the fuel tank located behind the rear axle. At the time of the petition, CAS had identified 172 fatal fire crashes with 254 fatalities in the FARS file from calendar year 1992 through 2008. CAS identified 44 fire crashes with 64 deaths where fire was the most harmful event. In comparison, NHTSA reported a total of 38 fire crashes with 26 fatalities when it recalled the Ford Pinto.

I believe the recall fix was to install a trailer hitch that would deform the tank in such a way that it was less likely to cause a fire.

IIRC, there were a couple additional issues with the Pinto. There was a problem with the filler tube that connected to the fuel tank (I think it was welded to the body or something), and this could cause a rupture and subsequent conflagration. The fuel tank was much too close to the bumper, and there wasn't enough of a buffer zone around it; there were lots of structural items nearby that could cause punctures. Ford actually had the option to license a self-sealing "fuel bladder", a design that came from the aviation industry, but the bean counters nixed that. The doors tended to bind and jam in a collision, trapping occupants in a burning vehicle. And finally, '70s-era Ford was really making some lousy cars, especially small ones. The Pinto is yet another case of "the hard way is the easiest to learn". (I think there was an episode of Engineering Disasters that covered the Pinto fiasco in great detail).

The diagram you posted below shows what a defective design it really was. It's almost as if they shoehorned in the fuel tank wherever they could, like it was an afterthought.

Measuring the data in this way actually skews it in favor of the cybertruck, because the ford Pintos have each had a lot more road-time and thus more fire likelihood. So likely more than 17x worse

I did some googling and the wagon looks pretty cool - https://hexbear.net/post/4453426

Nuevo is new, "No va" means "it doesn't go"

Worth noting, the Nova actually outperformed sales targets in Mexico for so long that they ended up building a factory in Mexico City just to make them. They switched production over to the Citation when GM sized down its lineup, and it was so beloved as a car that in 1985 GM replaced the Citation II with new Novas based on the AE82 Corolla platform, built at the NUMMI joint factory in Fremont, CA. These new Novas proved similarly so popular that GM started just straight up importing and rebadging Toyota Sprinters as the Geo Prizm.

Another fun fact: the name association most people in Mexico would've had at the time would have been to PEMEX gasoline which was also often branded as "NOVA" gas.
