Bat Mobile Cybertruck Crash 😔 Caught on Video

[The Tumbler]

I suppose bad Friday the 13th luck. This guy tried to make an illegal right turn into the shell station from the center lane, after turning out into the center lane illegally, right in front of me. Pretty significant damage to the front and driver quarter panel. Truck is driveable in medium height. In low the wheel smacks the sidewall when turning left. Sentry for the win here so there’s no question on fault.

Sad my poor truck is damaged and im very concerned about this going on the carfax report. Going to push for additional restitution for loss of value. Luckily im in the Bay Area and hopefully that helps with parts and timing for fix…

Wow what an idiot

Oh no! That is tragic, sorry you have to deal with this. If I were you I would stop using it and ask for a rental. If the tires can rub and you continue to use it they might blame you for some of the damage.

From the video it looks like you did everything right. Stayed in your lane and slowed down to try and avoid the accident.

Smh can’t have nice things with idiots like that on the road. Sorry you have to go through this OP. Hope his insurance takes the blow it deserves. Damn shame but always gotta be thankful it wasn’t worse and you’re breathing.

Yes I had the same thought. it’s parked in the garage. Not going to drive it until I take it to the Sunnyvale Tesla repair center. Luckily wife homeschools the kids and I can use her Model Y until I get a rental.

thank you. Yes grateful for this being pretty minor on the crash scale. Truck was an absolute rock in the collision. His car was totaled. Passenger side was destroyed and he either didn’t brake or accelerated into the bollards protecting the gas pump and taco’dthe front. Thankfully those are there…

Wow what an idiot

That was an expensive decision

Tbh, i found the adaptive cruise control might be able to avoid this kind of accident. A few time, the next lane ahead car drifted to the center line, not cross only very close to, CT was already taking some not harsh but noticeable breaks.

I hate that many people don't use turn signals these days. If the idiot had his turn signal on, it may have given the CT driver an extra split second to react sooner... maybe not avoiding the accident entirely but lowering the speed at impact.

Wow what an idiot

Came here to say exactly this and you beat me to it!

Sorry for your wreck. Nothing you could do in that situation. Gonna be a 3 week repair and about $13,000. Hope you got a guy with a good liability policy or your own will cover the rental while in the shop. Hopefully there is no structural damage and it just a "bolt off-bolt on" repair. Speaking from experience.

Best of luck with the repair. Glad you were able to get it on the dash cam.
