It says, "completed crush," not "crash."

Why is this backseat like a unicorn?! I’d like to see it.

These are “sanctioned release photos”, and back seat still isn’t cleared yet by a the overlords. I wonder if there is going to be a special treat back there. What could it be? Hammock?

The note probably means “Completed crash (test model), ready to go (to the testing facility to be smashed)”.

I think you are right.

You don’t think the up front plastic is covering damage from 5mph frontal tests?

Now *these* folks could have managed some interesting measurement-taking

Too bad they didn't have a chicken with them!!

Precisely. So once again some just ‘happens’ to come by a Cybertruck and yet doesn’t take a picture of the one area Tesla doesn’t want people to see yet.

But I’m sure it’s just a coincidence

I don't see any indication of damage.

What kind of crash test could this have been? 5mph into a sack of potato's. Looks like no damage at all. Outline of front end looks pretty much in place. Any idea's ?

My theory is that some prep for crash testing has been completed and NOW it is ready to be crashed or crushed.

I spy with my little eye a hydraulic brake line (on the rear, at least)

That looks more like a wire loom to me.
Although, the previous suspension pictures clearly show hydraulics…

Back in the early 2000s there was a short time that Apple made their primary laptop outta Titanium. It was a great case compared to sheet metal they had been using, no worry about dents or scratches, super hard material and it wasn't even very thick. You could toss it down the staircase or use it as a hammer and bring it in for repair and there was no evidence of abuse

Of course the issue ended up being that the insides had turned to dust. Since then they have used block aluminum that the openings are milled out of to give it rigidity, yet still show abuse so people take it easy on their expensive electronics

They were notorious for breaking hinges too, hard usually means brittle. Weakest spot on a super strong material

If it is hydraulic on the rear (CT has sliding rear calipers), and it is the Brembo Sensify system, then it is certainly on the front as well, since Brembo Sensify fixed calipers are only available as a localized hydraulic option (for now).

looks like there's no damage at all. would definitely worry if I was the car on the other side of that thing.

You've heard of "The crumple zone"? The Crumple zone of the Cybertruck is the other vehicle...
