Cybertruck boasts durability
Collision with Ford’s large SUV Excursion
Shocked to see it so horribly broken
Since its unveiling, the Tesla Cybertruck has been controversial in the U.S., mainly due to its unique design. Tesla has promoted the Cybertruck’s bulletproof stainless steel panels as a key feature of its high durability.
To demonstrate this durability, Tesla conducted tests that involved firing live bullets at the vehicle’s body and throwing metal balls at the windshield. Despite these demonstrations, ongoing issues with durability have sparked controversy since the Cybertruck’s official launch.
A recent accident involved the Cybertruck colliding head-on with a Ford Excursion, a massive SUV
Recently, a Cybertruck was involved in a near head-on collision with a Ford SUV Excursion. The incident occurred as the Cybertruck traveled down a road, and the Excursion SUV unexpectedly crossed the center line in the opposite direction. Although the Cybertruck driver swerved to the right to avoid a direct collision, the two vehicles still made contact.
The Cybertruck initially hit the front side of the Excursion before colliding with the side of the SUV, resulting in a significant impact. The vehicles collided at 88 kilometers per hour (55 mph). The accident’s aftermath left the Cybertruck significantly damaged and had to be towed from the scene.
Cybertruck badly damaged
The 2nd-row door is completely crushed
When the Cybertruck’s damage was revealed after the accident, opinions were mixed among netizens. According to the accident victim’s claim, the front windshield was utterly broken, and the left front side, which was directly hit, was completely flattened. The Cybertruck revealed in the photo shows the second-row door being torn off and distorted to the point where its shape is unrecognizable.
The steel panel behind the second row, which Tesla boasts of durability, was dented, and signs of damage were visible throughout the vehicle’s body. The left rear wheel had completely fallen off, giving an idea of the level of impact of the accident at the time. It is known that the driver’s family, including his wife and granddaughter, were riding in the Cybertruck at the time of the accident.
Controversy over Cybertruck durability
Not as sturdy as expected
Fortunately, no deaths occurred as a result of the accident, as it was taken to the emergency room. However, in light of this accident, more and more people are questioning the durability of the Cybertruck. In particular, many Americans criticize the Cybertruck’s angular body shape, saying it is not functional. Due to this accident, the number of opposing views on cyber trucks is increasing.
Some consumers claimed that Elon Musk and Tesla were exaggerating their advertising. As Tesla claims, the opinion is that the Cybertruck cannot be protected from accidents. However, there are many opposing opinions. The fact that the entire family, including the driver, was safe even in a significant accident is a testament to the durability of the Cybertruck, and it is also argued that the Cybertruck’s sturdy body may have protected them.
