Tesla Cybertruck crash

In California, a newly registered Tesla Cybertruck was hit by a car traveling in the opposite direction.

And $120,000 sent flying. That’s the risk of driving a pickup that attracts so much attention and certainly prompts other drivers to take risks to film you.

In California, Thursday, December 28, 2023, will go down in history as the day of the first crash involving a Tesla Cybertruck. The electric pickup seems destined for the scrapyard after a frontal collision with a black Toyota Corolla coming in the opposite direction. The deployment of airbags and various other deformation zones of the crumpled structure suggest that the repairs will be refused by insurers.

In the video, it’s noticeable that the Toyota is heavily damaged, while the Cybertruck is much less affected. The difference in mass between the two vehicles must have made the impact highly unequal. The distance between the two vehicles after the collision leaves the scenario somewhat mysterious regarding each vehicle’s responsibility.

More information will soon be disclosed.
