This is the first confirmed fatal accident of Tesla Cybertruck, although the model has not been crash-tested by a third party. Tesla is known for its vehicles' excellent performance in crash tests and has claimed that Cybertruck has a solid structural design, but this accident undoubtedly raises questions about the safety of this electric pickup truck.


Over the years, Tesla has maintained a good record in vehicle safety, and many of its models have achieved excellent results in various crash tests. Tesla is also highly confident in the safety performance of Cybertruck and has publicly stated that its structure is strong and durable. However, as the number of Cybertrucks on the road gradually increases, the occurrence of such accidents seems unavoidable.

It is reported that in this accident, a Cybertruck lost control for unknown reasons and deviated from the normal driving route, eventually crashing into a concrete culvert. The collision caused the vehicle to catch fire and the driver died at the scene. At present, the identity of the deceased driver has not been announced, and the police are investigating the specific cause of the accident.

Although the Cybertruck performed relatively well in some unofficial crashes in the early days of its official launch, this fatal accident is undoubtedly a wake-up call for Tesla to ensure that its products not only perform well in laboratory environments, but also protect the safety of passengers in the real world.


It is worth noting that there are currently about 15,000 to 20,000 Cybertrucks on the road, a figure that shows that the market demand for Tesla Cybertruck is quite large. As the number of this model continues to increase, how to ensure the safety of drivers and pedestrians will become an important challenge facing Tesla.
