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

[SlegMD]

Nah CT was not totaled until the BAW snapped back to the wind shield, that’s when the true damage to the CT began.

For all that might read here from outside sources. Third parties often do the test. Not the Government. So I think the bias to the new admin can get tossed out. This is the case in the Cybertruck as well. Applus IDIADA KARCO Engineering, LLC. With the a project engineer and lab manager put personal names on it. The manager has been there for 11 years and has 27 years of crashing stuff.

They’ll just say Elon bought them off.

JHC- get off the “poor Elon” soapbox.

The report's issue date is Jan 14, 2025 - so before Elon had any possible influence.

Reading the report, it looks like the actual testing was done on 12/18/2024 ... not that that will appease the cyberstuck class of perpetual morons.

Just found this video of the crash test on youtube:

2024-2025 Tesla Cybertruck NHTSA Full-Overlap Frontal Crash Test

Thanks for posting. Interesting that it appears the passenger dash airbag broke the windshield at 6:25 before the frontal impact further fractured it. The other internal shots of the airbag deployment are amazing. Not unique to CT, but still amazing.

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

Awesome. Looks like they can buff that out. Little bondo and good to go!

The airbag breaking the windshield is a very common thing in all cars.. but yea surprisingly it could get the windshield on the truck

God Bless and protect Elon. He delivered the safest truck our country and the world has ever seen.

He corrected the NHTSA and they finally gave us the right safety scores.

what about 2024 cyber trucks?

From the actual report: " A 56.3 km/h NCAP Frontal Impact Test was conducted on a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck Beast 4-Door Truck "

or they will say: passengers are safe but what about pedestrians? ?‍

There's no pedestrian test yet.

The lower drive height would most likely have it score better on some tests than the other North American full-sized trucks. The nose is lower, and in combination with the bumper height, would give more of an incline plane for a pedestrian to hit.

But the best collision is one that never happens, and Tesla scores highly on that, too.

That's by design; you don't want them to be forced open when the safety capsule is engaged. You want all the panels to tuck together to provide a shield wall for the passengers... because the impact forces could exceed this point!

Mine is actually $4/month lower than my '24 Model Y AWD. Both are under $100/month, but since insurance varies so much by location I still found it interesting it was cheaper than the Y.

That flying CT at 1:53 is awesome.

haha, I don’t know Crissa. I think even a foam or cardboard truck going at 25 mph could do a serious damage to a pedestrian, irrespective of the angle of the cardboard. People talk about CT’s safety to pedestrians as if other vehicles would hug the pedestrian immediately and save them at any cost! Even a bicycle could do a serious damage to a pedestrian.

Sure, anything can kill a pedestrian - a fall from standing height can do lethal damage.

But you can calculate the chance of the damage, and it will be different. Materials that give before bones break can accelerate the pedestrian with a lower chance of lethal shock. Which is why bumpers and hoods that dent before bones break are required in the EU regulations.

But probably more importantly is avoiding the accident by having increased forward vision from the cameras, and the ADAS warnings and braking you get from FSD even in its supervised form. No collisions is the ultimate goal.

Still, the fact that the truck normally rides lower than other trucks - especially ones with the same clearance - means it's more likely to throw an impacted pedestrian up or to the side than under the wheels. And that, I think, is more important than soft materials.
