The Tesla Cybertruck, known for its unique design and marketing promises, has recently been subjected to crash tests, revealing some concerns about its safety. The vehicle was claimed to be "bulletproof," "smash proof," and "crash proof" by Elon Musk in 2019. However, recent crash test footage, shared as part of the Cybertruck's official launch, shows the vehicle undergoing a full frontal crash at 35mph. The footage indicates that the Cybertruck, priced over $60,000, appears to bounce off surfaces it hits without much crumpling. This lack of crumpling has raised safety concerns, as crumpling in vehicles is crucial for absorbing shock from impacts, thereby protecting the occupants inside.

Concerns have been raised about the Cybertruck's design, suggesting that it could be dangerous for occupants in a crash due to its "indestructible" features, which might make it difficult to extract passengers after an accident.

In terms of rollover tests, Elon Musk claimed that the Cybertruck's low center of gravity prevents it from rolling over. This claim was supported by a video showing the vehicle in a rollover test at 16 mph, where it did not roll over. However, the absence of contextual information about the test conditions and comparisons with other vehicles makes it challenging to assess this claim fully. Additionally, the lack of detailed crash test performance data, such as dummy head deflections, means that conclusions about the Cybertruck's overall safety cannot be definitively drawn until organizations like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety evaluate the vehicle. It's noteworthy that while previous Tesla models like the Model 3 and Model Y are IIHS Top Safety Picks, this does not automatically extend to the Cybertruck, given its fundamental differences from these models.
