Debunking the Myth: Ram vs. Tesla Cybertruck Collision

The Collision

A recent incident involving a Dodge Ram and a Tesla Cybertruck has sparked online debates about vehicle safety. The collision resulted in minor damage to the stainless steel Cybertruck, while the Ram suffered significant structural damage. However, this crash does not provide conclusive evidence regarding the safety of either vehicle.

Damage Comparison

Photos shared on Reddit by user u/wamsankas depict the aftermath of the collision, highlighting the stark contrast in damage between the two trucks. While the Ram’s hood, bumper, and grille were severely damaged, the Cybertruck sustained only minor damage to its bumper and a Ram grille imprint on its tailgate.

Understanding Rear-End Collisions

In rear-end collisions like this, the nature of the impact often results in more damage to the vehicle in front. The softer top part of the front absorbs most of the impact, leading to visible damage. Conversely, the rear vehicle’s bumper absorbs less impact due to its rigidity, resulting in less visible damage.

Future Safety Tests

Independent crash tests for the Tesla Cybertruck are yet to be conducted, raising questions about its safety performance. While the design of the Cybertruck’s exterior makes it challenging to break into, its safety in crash scenarios remains to be tested.

Conclusion

The Ram vs. Cybertruck collision highlights the typical outcomes of rear-end collisions and does not provide definitive proof of either vehicle’s safety. Further testing and analysis are required to assess the safety capabilities of the Tesla Cybertruck accurately.
