A father and his five-year-old daughter walked away from a serious crash with few injuries. Their Tesla Cybertruck took a direct hit from a car going 60 miles per hour. The other driver reportedly ran a red light.
The father shared the story online, and it spread fast. Many are now talking about how safe the Cybertruck might be.
Father Shares Crash Details on Social Media
The father, on X, posted about the incident. He said a drunk driver slammed into their Cybertruck at high speed.
The damage was clear on the door and side, but the interior held up well. No big dents pushed into where they sat.
In his words,
“A few days ago, our Cybertruck saved my life and the life of my 5-year-old daughter. We were T-boned by a drunk driver who ran a red light going 60 miles per hour.”
Moreover, he said police at the scene told him,
“If you had been in any other vehicle, the car would’ve flipped and been torn in half.”
The father thanked the truck’s tough build. He plans to buy a new Cyberbeast model soon. He even told people to get a Tesla if they care about their family’s safety.
“If you love your family, buy a Tesla,”
Cybertruck owner wrote.
The truck’s steel frame bent on the driver’s side but didn’t collapse. That lines up with what the father said about it holding strong.
Cybertruck’s Design Explained
Tesla rolled out the Cybertruck in 2023. It has a steel exoskeleton that they call nearly unbreakable. The company says it’s built for top durability and to keep passengers safe.
The battery pack sits low, keeping the truck steady. Its stiff frame aims to handle crashes well. The Tesla Cybertruck has received a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA.
