Cybertruck rollover in Mississippi

[Stuck4ger]

Well at least MSM can’t blame FSD. Tesla driver actually flips over a Cybertruck in MS.

Four people were reportedly in the Cybertruck when the crash happened. As per the local news report’s livestream, three of the Cybetruck’s occupants were able to walk away from the accident unharmed, while a fourth was transported to a medical facility for minor injuries on one arm. Footage of the Cybertruck crash’s aftermath shows that the vehicle’s cabin also looked quite intact. ​

​

Comments from social media users in the Vicksburg Daily News’ livestream noted that the Cybertruck was quite an attraction in the city prior to the incident. Others also observed that the area where the Cybertruck flipped over had been the site of crashes in the past. Other users also claimed that they had seen the same Cybertruck driving at high speed. Such comments led some users to speculate that the Cybertruck driver might have been driving too fast before the crash.​

Ouch. It's not a sports car and with the power I can see people loosing control in an EV often. CT is a bit easier to flip I'd guess due to its stance/height than rest of the fleet of course. Glad it protected folks well.

Sort of surprised the driver isn't claiming the truck accelerated on its own or the steering failed them. Could this be human induced?

Almost certainly.

You have to really try to flip any Tesla but he managed to do it. ? Looks like a combination of speed around the curve and getting up on that embankment, impressive.

Looking at the dirt on the road leading to the CT, it appears they may have hit the hill at some speed and climbed up it, leading to the rollover.

That would explain the trail of dirt leadi g to the crash and how a vehicle with a low center of mass was able to roll in the first place.

Whether it was the human error of a driver being an idiot, FSD failing to predict a unique corner case (not the case here, I know!), the driver failing to properly account for weather or road conditions or uncertainties, or whatever; virtually all accidents are the result of human error at some level — the variable is how far upstream that human error occurs.

Four minutes of shaky cam from 200 feet out. lol

That dude recording really said the same 3 things for 5 minutes straight.

Would be interesting if we could get some Sentry video of the accident.

Oh yes, and the way he pauses when he says "a Tesla ...... Cybertruck...." To really get it to sink in ?

But in seriousness, I hope everyone is ok and I appreciate local news people like this gentleman just trying to inform people.

It's hard to roll a Tesla, but I'm guessing that nice sloping shoulder embankment helped it along.

Wish there was video of the incident… I bet it was impressive to see Cybertruck run up that hill at high speed and roll over after getting some air. Idiot actions by the driver, obviously.

Wow, ? these Cyber Clowns sure are having some epic fails ???!

Just drive it normal for the first six months to learn the dynamics.

I don't see any skidmarks, did the driver just try to out maneuver physics?

“Watch me bank into this turn — just like they do in NASCAR!”
