Tesla has its own crash lab in Fremont

[Mini2nut]

I’m confident the Cybertruck will be the safest pickup truck in its class. Besides computer simulations Tesla has their own crash testing facility at Fremont to perform real world testing.

2021 will be an exciting year for reservation holders with a final design revealed, final Beta testing, a new assembly plant, configuration e-mails for some lucky owners, etc.

Maybe this testing facility will reassure all the foreign worry-worts that they can get a Euro-compliant vehicle.

I hope they look into this as improvements in the US look well over due.
You never know they might go the whole hog and make it NCAP compliant.

I'm also hoping for a wicked strong front seat left and right. It is 2020-we gotta do even better.

Apparently the seat testing and rules don't coincide and many seats might not be strong enough.

But that a seat deflected in an accident is normal; you want them to take the damage so you don't.

Agreed-you want the seat to absorb some of the impact by having 'give' ,but also want to protect the little ones on the back seat as the seat back goes backwards...perhaps give to a point-but no further? These Tesla folks can make it happen

I think the impact obstructions will need to be beefed up a bit for the Cyber Truck. I pity the poor SOB that gets hit by a Cyber Truck.
