Fast Technology reported on December 29 that the star product Tesla Cybertruck had just started delivery at the beginning of this month, but the world's first collision case occurred in less than a month.
Recently, a user tweeted on social platforms, saying that the California Highway Patrol received the first accident report about the model, which was caused by a collision with an outside vehicle during normal driving.
According to the report, at about 14 pm local time on the 28th of this month, a 17-year-old man drove a 2009 Toyota Corolla out of control, crashed into the embankment on the right side of the road, and then rolled over and collided with a normal Tesla Cybertruck.
Judging from the ** taken at the scene, this Corolla was seriously damaged, the first half was seriously damaged, even the wheels were lost, it seems that the repair value is not large, fortunately the driver is fine, as for the Tesla Cybertruck, the overall appearance remains good, but the safety curtain on the driving side has burst, and the driver is said to have suffered minor injuries.
It is worth mentioning that the public has previously expressed concerns about the safety of the Tesla Cybertruck, and some people believe that the front of the car is too short, and the overall use of very hard steel plates, which may not be effective in the crash test to protect passengers.
Tesla has previously responded in detail to this matter, admitting that the front collapse area of the Cybertruck is indeed smaller than other pickup trucks with huge engine compartments, but also denies the collision safety issue.
It doesn't matter how big the collapse zone is, what matters is how it's used. In the event of a high-speed collision, the front chassis casting of the Cybertruck shatters into small pieces, absorbing and dispersing energy and reducing the impact on the driver and passengers. ”
