The Tesla Cybertruck successfully protected its occupants during a serious crash with a Ford Expedition. According to the Tesla owner, all occupants of the Cybertruck were able to escape the crash without serious injuries.
A recording of the accident was shared on the Cybertruck Owners Club, with user johnm6875 pointing out that the driver of a Ford SUV crossed the double yellow lines and drove straight into the path of the Cybertruck. The Tesla owner did his best to avoid the oncoming Ford SUV, but since both vehicles were traveling on the highway, a collision seemed inevitable.
The impact on the Cybertruck was so strong that the all-electric pickup truck spun out. Fortunately, the Cybertruck did not roll over. The Tesla owner said he and his family were taken to the emergency room for examination, while the driver of the Ford Expedition was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Images of the ill-fated Cybertruck shared by Tesla owners hinted at the severity of the crash. As can be seen in photos of the vehicle, the rear driver’s side door was completely crushed upon impact. The airbags inside the Cybertruck also deployed upon impact. Overall, Tesla owners say they appreciate Tesla’s focus on vehicle safety and plan to buy another Cybertruck.
“This truck gave its life for us and we would buy it again,” the Tesla owner wrote in the post.
While the Tesla Cybertruck has yet to receive an official safety rating, reports from people who have been in crashes while driving the vehicle suggest that the all-electric pickup truck is as safe as other cars in its class. As Elon Musk has said, the Cybertruck is also very durable. For example, in June, a Cybertruck collided with a Ford Mustang in the side, but the all-electric pickup truck escaped the accident unscathed.
