Rollover Crash Tested Cybertruck w/ airbags deployed & smashed interior (back seat look)!

[rudedawg78]

Keeping in mind that a Ditch Rollover is not even close to what happens in a Rollover while doing 100+ MPH. That will be the one that I want to see & I am confident that it will perform beyond that of any other truck on the market.

I am pretty sure that standard crash tests aren't tested at 100+ mph. I would be happy at 70 mph. Occupants would probably die at 100+ mph in any car because of the pure physics, not necessarily because of the damage to the vehicle.

We did high speed tests when I was in the Air Force and the results weren't pretty on any ground-based vehicle traveling in excess of 100 mph.

Barring a ditch or other chasm, a Tesla is virtually impossible to rollover due to the low center-of-gravity.

The Model X could not be made to rollover in the standard tests.

No disrespect intended; using words like "pretty sure" & "probably" do not inspire confidence. "because of pure physics", providing the formula would have been useful. I have been trained to do the Research.

Sorry I don't have a formula for you. As an Emergency Manager, I was purely an observer for the tests... the scientists that were there could probably provide you with that formula.

IIHS does its three crash tests at 40mph

NHTSA at 35 or 38.5, depending

theirs are generally crashes into a solid, immovable, object

for better or worse, it takes extrapolation from there to see how a vehicle would fare (faster, or into a another vehicle)

I agree. The Cybertruck looks like it experienced a rollover event.

That a rapid unplanned Y axis inversion

Yes, at around 100g acceleration, a person's heart muscle ruptures. The end. Hence the importance of crumple zones.

You are 100% right. This has been brought up before but a lot of times negative items are just glossed over. /s

That A-pillar extends out a *long* ways and that support column is very wide.

Nice cvalue13 post here: https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...ior-cybertruck-photo.8485/page-33#post-153305

The A1-pillar and A2-pillar sure do end up taking up a lot of view from the drivers perspective.
