Tesla Cybertruck Crash Test
After extensive marketing and an extremely lengthy manufacturing period, American manufacturer, Tesla Inc. is set to deliver Tesla Cybertruck in the pickup truck segment, one of the most profitable segments in the American electric vehicle market.
Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla Inc., is well known for being the driving force behind the anticipation of the Tesla Cybertruck in the market, but another factor was its futuristic configuration, body design, architecture, and the safety measures taken for the utmost security of the driver and passengers at all times – defining the true future of electric vehicles.
Some of these tests are typically carried out by all manufacturers for all heavy-duty vehicles in order to demonstrate the rigidity and safety levels to the audience, but some tests are specifically carried out by Tesla Inc. in Tesla Cybertruck to convey the idea of utmost safety to the target audience.
Crash Test
Tesla Inc. conducted tests under a variety of conditions and on a variety of surfaces. The manufacturers periodically updated and promoted the experiments on social media and other venues. Winter testing, crash tests, and a few additional tests are among them.
One of the most important tests among them is the crash test, which is typically conducted by every major manufacturer and determines the degree of safety for the driver and passengers during collisions or accidents. Tesla Cybertruck participated in the crash test as well.
Previous Test Result
Since the last time the Tesla Cybertruck was put through a test, it didn’t go well, all the EV aficionados who were looking forward to this electric pickup truck were also excited to see the crash test.
The Tesla Cybertruck was unveiled at the Tesla Design Studio in Los Angeles on November 21, 2019. During the demonstration, Tesla claimed that the Cybertruck’s “Armour Glass” windows were nearly impenetrable.
However, the Tesla Cybertruck’s first test resulted in two glasses being broken when Franz von Holzhausen threw a metal ball at each of them. Because of this, it was intriguing to see how well the vehicle’s claimed virtually impenetrable exoskeleton and Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled Stainless Steel would perform in the crash test.
Crumple zones are crucial elements of automotive design that enable the car’s body and chassis to flex and absorb some of the power of a collision. They are typically there as safety precautions. The forces delivered to car occupants are substantially larger and far more likely to result in harm if a body panel or chassis does not absorb the impact of a collision, and this is what is typically examined in crash tests.
Tesla Inc. published a video of a crash test of a Tesla Cybertruck on April 1, 2023, in which multiple individuals may be seen witnessing the test. Audience members were eager to see the vehicle after testing, but they withheld the crash test results in that video since it turned out that Tesla was playing a prank on them on April Fool’s Day.

The test, however, was actually carried out by Tesla, and some market insiders also revealed the test’s findings. And the test’s outcomes surprised all of the electric vehicle enthusiasts globally.
The truck did not appear to be particularly damaged in the video that the insider posted. The Cybertruck had some loose trim, its bed was a mess, several of its windows were broken, and its roof was crushed, but it did not appear to be destroyed.

The vehicle’s interior and cabin, however, were mostly unharmed after the test; the rear display appeared unharmed, the airbags appeared to be activating, and the seats were unharmed as well.
Conclusions
All other Tesla vehicles have performed and scored well in the Crash test, assuming we disregard the testing blunder that occurred during the public unveiling of the Tesla Cybertruck. And based on a recent insider posting about the Tesla Cybertruck’s condition following a crash test, we can say that it will work properly on roads.
