THE VERGE

This incident has sparked discussions about the Cybertruck's safety features and structural integrity. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has previously claimed that the Cybertruck is "much safer per mile" than other trucks in its class, citing its low center of gravity as a factor in preventing rollovers.

As of now, there have been no independent safety evaluations from organizations like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regarding the Cybertruck. The recent accident underscores the need for comprehensive safety assessments to determine how the Cybertruck performs in various collision scenarios.
