Are there enough Cybertrucks on the roads for us to detect their danger levels statistically? I’ve never seen one and I don’t live in the middle of nowhere or anything…

We seen a good dozen or more in a couple of weeks in Orlando.

To be clear, I agree with you on them being statistically insignificant.

The problem is that Cybertruck drivers are likely to have a boisterous driving style which may skew the results - what other kind of personality would purchase a vehicle that is less practical than other trucks, less practical than other EVs and, whether we like it or not, carries a signal to other people on the road.

What leads you to believe that?
