[Video added] Cybertruck gave its life for us in collision with Ford Explorer

[Deleted member 17810]

Are you okay?

But why didn't the airbag deploy?

The front bumper was damaged, the front steel was bent, and the windshield was cracked.
It looks like the driver's side fender is dented as well.

Still, the impact inside the room was very small?
So the airbags didn't deploy?
curious.

Tesla's airbag system decided at impact point which bags, and whether or not bags need to be deployed.

Scary man, ? good reaction?, anything is better than head on and you saved it.
..wonder ? how FSD would have done.

PS: technically he/she crossed over a double double-yellow. What was the reason? CT got him starstruck?

A guy crossed over the double yellow and I could not get out of the way fast enough. We were both at highway speeds.. My wife, granddaughter and I we're all shaken and are being evaluated (at the emergency room and I'm bored, hence the reason for the post). No critical injuries. The other guy was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. We were spun but not flipped. Thank you Tesla engineering and manufacturing.

This truck gave its life for us. I'll be getting another

Oh hell, a good body shop can fix it right up. ?

With fluids leaking out, it could just be a broken hose, but if the HV pack was compromised, this is not worth repairing.

Even if the pack is intact, that looks expensive.

Wow that's scary! So good you have video. People always lie/misremember things after accidents.

Thank you for the post- Crash worthy, you did not burst into flames, roll over or ejected and all are ok. We all can learn from this- #1 Don't be the other guy. #2Watch out for the other guy- they all are idiots, drive distracted and Christ said it best on the cross,"...forgive them Father, they know not what they do..." We all drive not appreciating the physics of a 1 ton missile (or greater) at hurricane speeds while eating a sandwich and checking on some SPAM.

Glad your family is AOK!
I first saw this on NowYouKnow YT channel and received my invite to order FS Cybertruck just yesterday - Finally maybe even by the time I get it with 12.5+ FSD included as well..
I can hope that this is never in my CT path - but if it ever happens I can feel safer knowing that the CT is built tougher than Ford!
