The Exoskeleton Design of the Tesla Cybertruck
The Tesla Cybertruck boasts an exoskeleton design with unique steel, providing robust protection in various scenarios. While previous incidents involved minor damages, this time, the Cybertruck faced a broadside collision, putting its durability to the test.
The Crash: Details and Aftermath
Reports suggest that the crash occurred near an airport, involving a Ford Edge colliding with the Cybertruck. The extent of the damage and fault attribution remains unclear. Despite the severity of the impact that left the Cybertruck with two caved-in doors and shattered windows, it was towed away from the scene. The crash likely affected the battery and motors, but the Cybertruck’s buffer zone may have mitigated some damage.
Updates on the Incident
Initial reports from Dale Gribble on Facebook indicate that the Cybertruck owner sustained arm injuries but is generally okay. Comparing images of the Cybertruck and the Ford Edge involved in the crash, it’s evident that the Cybertruck fared relatively better in terms of structural integrity.
Looking Ahead
Despite the significant impact, the Cybertruck’s resilience is commendable. Further updates on the incident are awaited to understand the full extent of the damage and implications for future designs in automotive safety.
