Looks like mostly cosmetic damage.

Not bad considering what would’ve happened to any other car or truck. Any other car or truck would’ve had the panels really damaged. Which are harder to repair with unibody construction. With the CT, pop off the damaged panels and replace.

If that was Jimmy filming as the semi truck driver pulled away, I can fully understand why I heard a little tiny bit of crying in the background audio.

I would have probably had a stroke and died on the spot.

Don't know if I'd say the Cybertruck won that one....

My emotional damage would've been much worst than the truck damage. This was not my truck and I have some sort of emotional damage!

How is it that there are so few CTs on the road and so many are getting hit? That’s just plain crazy. I sold my S for a MY and I got hit on day three.

That's two that I'm aware of, not including the guy that drove into a pole on the wrong side and blamed the accelerator pedal.

The CT is totaled, how did it win?

Probably because auto accidents are a common occurrence, not just minor ones either, 40,000 people in the U.S. die every year in auto accidents.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the media only makes it into a national story when a Tesla is involved.

It's totalled according to who?

Chances are the castings and battery pack were heavily affected due to being pinned by a loaded 18 wheeler.

You can't tell from the outside because the exoskeleton did such a good job of transferring the load.

The crash involved a reversing semi-truck striking a parked Cybertruck at a loading dock. The situation worsened as they attempted to separate the two vehicles.

In the process of extricating the semi-truck, the two vehicles’ sides scraped together. The impact split the Cybertruck’s side open, resulting in significant visual damage. The semi-truck also sustained damage, with dislodged panels and scattered debris, due to the collision while its cargo door was open.

Not many vehicles will be able to drive away from that but it was painful to watch.

So, you're saying the Cybertruck is really tough?

The owner is planning to get it repaired. You can follow the journey here:

My guess is it's repairable. One tough truck.
