Yet another Tesla Cybertruck has met a violent end on the highway, this time in a collision with a Ford Expedition. The incident, captured on video by the Cybertruck driver, showcases the vehicle’s remarkable durability as it absorbed the impact of the oncoming SUV.

While the Cybertruck’s stainless steel exoskeleton proved its mettle by protecting occupants, the vehicle itself sustained severe damage, including a destroyed rear driver’s side door and a missing rear wheel. This latest addition to the growing list of Cybertruck accidents since the vehicle’s release highlights both its safety performance and the unique challenges faced by owners and repair shops in dealing with an unconventional electric pickup.

As the Cybertruck’s popularity continues to rise, so too does the frequency of incidents, raising questions about the vehicle’s safety record and the potential need for further design refinements. A recent high-speed collision involving a Tesla Cybertruck and a Ford Expedition has brought renewed attention to the safety performance of electric vehicles.

The Cybertruck’s owner, John, recounted the terrifying ordeal, describing how the vehicle was spun by the impact but miraculously remained upright, protecting the occupants from more severe injuries. This incident marks the second reported case of a Ford vehicle totaling a Cybertruck, raising questions about the factors contributing to such severe damage.

While the Cybertruck’s structural integrity has been lauded in this instance, the circumstances surrounding the crash, including the other driver’s actions and road conditions, remain under investigation. As the popularity of electric vehicles continues to rise, so too does the need for rigorous safety standards and comprehensive crash testing to ensure the protection of drivers and passengers in the event of collisions.

A collision with a Ford Edge left Jerry’s Cybertruck with severe damage to the C-pillar. The impact was so substantial that the insurance deemed the electric vehicle unsalvageable due to the prohibitive cost of restoration. Remarkably, Jerry escaped the crash unscathed. Inspired by the Cybertruck’s ability to protect its occupants, he joined the ranks of those fascinated by the vehicle’s safety performance, opting to purchase another.
