The accident took place last weekend when the 17-year-old driver of the Corolla veered off the road for unknown reasons and collided with the Cybertruck while attempting to re-enter the highway. According to local sources, there were three individuals in the Cybertruck, who suffered only minor injuries. It’s important to note that the Cybertruck’s autonomous features were not engaged at the time of the crash.
Photos from the scene reveal significant damage to the front of the Corolla, while the Cybertruck appears to have sustained less visible damage, despite deployed airbags. The extent of the damage on the unseen side of the Cybertruck remains unclear.
Details about the specific model of the involved Cybertruck—whether it was a customer vehicle or a test prototype—are yet to be disclosed. Additionally, it was noted that the vehicle did not bear badges indicating if it was from the “Foundation Series.”
Tesla's Cybertruck sales ban seems to be back. Accordingly, this article was included in the Cybertruck Foundation sales contract.
This collision marks the first real-world crash test scenario for Tesla’s armored vehicle design. Despite the impact, the Cybertruck seems to have emerged with minor damages, providing an initial glimpse into how it may withstand real-world accidents. The incident raises questions about the robustness of Tesla’s futuristic design and its implications for road safety.
