If you’re comparing the two, why would you repeatedly show the Cybertruck on a full frontal impact and the R1T on a front corner impact? Because you’re biased.

[cidlopez]

These are two totally different crash tests. Front overlap vs head on isn’t the same comparison.

[CarPro]

Even more videos incorrectly comparing the Cybertruck's Full-Overlap to completely different tests at different speeds. You can't "compare" a full-overlap to a small overlap, you also can't compare a NHTSA MDB side impact to an IIHS MDB side impact. There is too much that is wrong here.

[adamharris]

Completely incomparable tests.
I would be interested to see the readouts of g-forces on the occupants of the cybertruck, the whole idea of crumple zones is to absorb the forces of the impact, not pass them onto the passengers

[SanderVandeWiel]

If you're in a crash, and there is hardly any damage on the car. Then the people inside are the ones taking all the forces...

[andredolbec]

Not even comparable. I'd like to see the ct do a front corner impact test like the other trucks did instead of a full front Impact . Let's see the damage

Comparing a Telsa full barrier crash to another vehicle (Rivian) performing a moderate overlap test is idiotic. The moderate overlap test the Rivian is shown in is exponentially more demanding.

The 35 MPH full barrier (Tesla shown) crash is an archaic test . The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have moved on to more real-world tests: the small overlap and moderate overlap. These are done at 40 MPH; that's approximately 35% more force than a test at 35 MPH. These two tests represent scenarios how cars crash in the real world and are much more challenging than an old fashioned (full) barrier crash. A full barrier crash is done by manufacturers because that is what the NHTSA/DOT requires. IIHS doesn't even do barrier tests any more as they are irrelevant compared to the results of overlaps tests. So the video Tesla released just proves they passed the bare government minimum testing to make a production vehicle.


Why are the overlap tests more demanding? A moderate overlap concentrates 100% of the crash on only 45% of the vehicles front structure; a small overlap test, on only 15% of the vehicle structure. It takes serious energy management engineering to pass these tests since only part of the car structure is available for energy management, compared to using the entire front of the car to absorb crash forces. For example, any late 1960's car will pass a full barrier test at 30 MPH with only seat belts. A moderate or small overlap test would tear such a car in two.

All manufacturers test for small and medium overlap in their own labs (plus a full barrier test at speed higher than 35 MPH) for their own purposes, but few release that footage. So manufacturers wait until IIHS (or Euro NCAP) does these tests as privately funded to accept their accolades or in many cases provide excuses (See the furor over the IIHS test of the Mercedes C class of 2012).

As for what is shown in the Tesla video, modern engineering requires a very stiff passenger compartment zone with advanced airbags working with progressive deforming zones optimized for the three types of crashed tests. So you should see little or no door or pillar deformation.

As for the rear seat passengers, a vehicle of this price range should have rear seat airbags. They rear wheel behavior? The thing has rear wheel steering, so either the steering mechanism broke or deformed, which meaningless to the result of the test.

If Tesla was truly proud of the Cyber Trucks crashworthiness, they would release video of their internal small and moderate overlap test results.

It’s not based on the damage it’s based on the safety

[demongs]

"If you have any argument with another car you will win". Meaning if you crush had on with another car it will save you but your Cybertruck won't return the favour. Elon Musk is a very smart

[EdgarRenje]

"If you're in an argument with another car, you will win". That's the total opposite of what crash behavior should be about.

[BigEightiesNewWave]

What an expert pointed out is your cervical spine in the Tesla is excessively flexed backwards due to the fact it crushes less, to not slow down the impact, as much. You want the impact slowed as much as possible. To prevent snapping spine/paralysis.
In the demo live unveiling last week right when the side video cuts off, the neck of the dummy is flexed backwards excessively compared to dummy in trucks that give more in the front. It is so stiff, it actually imposes higher loads on your body.
Overlays of side by side shots show the neck flexing much more in the Tesla vehicle.

[daveblock]

Now imagine having an accident and the nightmare of getting a Cybertruck repaired. Pass.

[AlfieIII]

Not the same test . The rivian is doing the small over lap test

[oleotoleo]

The cyber truck will be the reason for a lot of accident and deaths.

[digginginpodcast]

Your content always stands out to me! By the way, I had an interesting chat with a former Tesla worker who now interviews billionaires. It's another level of fascinating!

[BigEightiesNewWave]

0:13 Freeze Notice the low camera angle used to hide the excessive neck extension that happens. There is another video showing a higher angle, and the neck extension is awful.

[rr-angels]

i would be interested in seeing how the cybertruck looks after it did the crashtest the rivian did.

[eetnefv]

The Cybertruck lacks a proper crumple zone in case of a front impact. Its structure is too rigid, exposing occupants to dangerously high g-forces.
Btw, imo it is the ugliest "car" ever built. Like from a dystopian future hostile to man. Awful!

[carlosnorris]

These tests are done to check the safety of the occupants. Usually the more damage to the vehicle the better impact absorption and better safety for passengers.
