How stupid...Nothing happens; I'd hardly call it a crash test as it never crashes. Waste of time.

19 feet is just under the length of an F150 Supercrew 5 foot 5 inch bed truck. The Lightning is 232 inches.

So it's exactly right.

-Crissa
So you agree? 228"?

This is the point Doc found he made a math error. His speed calculation was off by a factor of 2.2.

(Should have been 88MPH, not 40MPH)
CYBRTRK hits 88MPH before it hits the wall.
The wall don't look too crash hot after high speed impact!

And "they" say Tesla does no marketing. :)
Welcome to a new world approach to manufacturing and sales. Tesla is disrupting far more than just the auto industry. This is revolution, not evolution and It is shaking capitalism to it's core.
Hold on, it's going to be a wild ride ...

Sort of

My on-screen measurements come to ~230”, but that measure could be as much as 2” shorter or 2” longer, unless I’ve botched an assumption

So your 227.5” is within spitting distance of my ~230”+\- … as is the unveil on screen spec if 231.7”

This CT crash test video is in my view an Easter Egg hidden within an April Fool’s meme.

The Easter Egg is that, given the nature of how the videography is used in these crash tests, it permits of accurate estimates of CT exterior dimensions using basic pixel measuring software.

On-Screen of what? The crash one?

Then why'd you say it's 220"? I'm very lost.

yes, I understand and no problem that you have had little reason to follow closely or read it all

I did not in this thread say it was 220” - that was in another thread and I was “mistaken” (long story), and have since “determined” that the correct measurements come to 230” more or less.

consistent with your 227”

Those two images are probably the same exterior.

-Crissa
I know they are. What I am saying is that the second image makes it look like this:

Tesla Cybertruck Cybertruck Crash Test Video Released by Tesla! đź’Ą 1680654584691


Just saying I would definitely opt for the short version if the bed could be extended to the same length as current CT when in use and shorten to this size when it is not. I am guessing 90% or the reservation holders use the bed 10% of the time. I know I am just dreaming and it does not go with simplified design Tesla is shooting for but a man can dream.
