Cybertruck gets FIVE STAR safety rating from NHTSA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[TeslaKen]

...If it's rated as a commercial vehicle, there is no test or limits. But as a privately operated passenger vehicle...

The regulations require a soft material for the nose of passenger vehicles, which the Cybertruck does not have at all, and a set angle for the nose of the vehicle, which it also straight up fails.

Compare the nose of the new ID.Buzz's slant vs the slant of the nose of the Cybertruck: That's why the Buzz has that slightly more set back nose than the concept.


You could also just coin the edges of the non-adjoining panels, too. Only four panels and the frunk have corners that face outward. You'd barely notice the difference.

And that's on top of needing yellow signals and probably headlight washers (if any one light array is brighter than 2000 lumen) and other small differences.


They're imported as either one-offs or commercial vehicles.

Thank you for the reply! Good stuff!

It'd be better if I had links but I figured the waving at the ID.Buzz would be a good example of how things were changed to fit the requirements.

That flying CT at 1:53 is awesome.

CYBERTRUCK SUPERMAN!

Has some European safety group actually tested the Cybertruck for pedestrian safety or is everyone just guessing that it wouldn't pass the tests in Europe? I cannot seem to find any actual test having been done and the Cybertruck failing said test. If Tesla hasn't submitted the truck for testing it could simply be that they aren't concerned about selling in Europe yet so no need to spend the $ to test yet as opposed to any real flaw in the design that would prevent it from passing. I'm just wondering where all this pedestrian flack is coming from, do you know?

I believe in Norway, they've approved registration of a CYBRTRK ( maybe all future reg applications ) as a three seater vehicle. Plenty of room for tools in the back seat compartment! Who knows, authorities might have classed it in a category like 'commercial light/heavy truck' !?!?!

I had a 66 corvair that it handled better then anything on the road back then. It was amazing.

My first car was almost a 63 Corvair. My dad was worried about the safety and I think it had a bad clutch.

I think that's exactly the loophole they're using. Commercial vehicles and licenses have more leeway.

Safest pickup truck ever!

Who would have thunk? ?

Oh, wait...that would have been me and anyone else who isn't a mental/emotional wreck.

None of the doors could be opened from outside after the impact, which seems less good, presumably the internal mechanical release still worked.

I thought the report said all four doors worked normally after the test.

or a literal wreck ?‍

Looking at some other CT crash test videos, I found it interesting to compare the CT and Silverado in the side pole crash test.

Stop making fun of Silverado. It has 400+ incredible range with twice the battery that’ll solve everyone’s long distance towing problem. I’m sure it’s totally worth getting the head hit with a pole, or should I say crushed with a pole?! I guess that’s another way to solve range anxiety! ?‍?

To be fair, that was a Silverado 2500 ice truck. I don't know if the Chevy EV has been tested yet.

To be fair...

Extremism in the defense of Cybertruck is no vice.

whoa, that did not look like 35mph!
And I thin that dummy has a broken shoulder/arm/rib/leg! All of them or at least one of those!
