Hit a deer doing 55 mph in NC

Cybertruck TACC-Poor deer. Hwy 903 6 mi W of Halifax NC. I bet FSD would’ve reacted faster.

doesn’t look like damage was that bad but how is it now in daylight?

Yep, with FSD never happened ...

definitely. ive had fsd randomly brake and as im about to curse, a fox crosses the road.

Surprised high beams weren't on. Wonder if that would have helped. Looks awfully dark out there with no oncoming cars.

I hit a deer doing about 55-60 while towing a trailer (so couldn't use FSD) about a year ago. They were able to adjust the hood slightly but other than that I didn't need any replacement parts. There was a small scuff on the plastic bumper but I decided to live with it since it's hardly noticeable. Very impressive truck. If I was in my older gas truck it could have done a lot of damage. Felt bad for the deer but was glad my family was all safe and sound.

Poor deer

when the word 'suffered' was uttered I thought/expected the condition/picture of the Deer but oh! Dear it's the one that has no life, feeling & soul.

Check that driver side headlight and make sure it is still secure. Its held on by two plastic screw holes and a bracket in the back. The most frustrating thing about my deer hit.

The sprinters are the ones that suck, thats what happened to me too. FSD definitely would have slowed down but don't know if it would have stopped in time.

But still, “It’s within spec” lol

I hit one of those forest rats several months ago. Same kinda thing. It bolted across the road before I could respond. I checked the impact point at the next pull out area. Just some fur stuck on the top edge of the plastic bumper. I'm sure that deer was off in the woods somewhere achin to much to do anything else for awhile.

I bet FSD would’ve reacted faster.

Probably would have avoided it completely. Also FSD would had the high beams on too.

Sorry about the damage to your truck. I was driving from San Diego eventually through Jordan Valley, Oregon dropping into Boise, IDAHO. At 3:21 AM a 10 pound Rabbit decides to suddenly haul ass across the road. I mean, it all happened super quick. Truck was on FSD. Truck did a great job reacting. It hit the brakes and turned slightly left causing Rabbit to impact on passenger side splitter near the Air dam. Knocking off that little passenger side splitter. Speed was about 65 miles an hour. Not sure what happened to the Rabbit or my little splitter as I did not come to a full stop. Tesla fixed it for about 80 bucks. A FSD driving through area full of deer, elk, rabbits, goats, mountain sheep is a great help. Like really good. Enjoy the videos.

I'm impressed. The deer around here have never been known to manage anywhere near 55 MPH! No wonder you had no hope of reacting in time!

Is that the Monte Python rabbit?
