A prototype of Tesla’s much-anticipated Cybertruck was spotted on a car hauler, post undergoing a ditch rollover test. A video that surfaced on social media showcased the Cybertruck’s impressive resilience, with its cabin remaining largely unscathed and no significant structural damages evident.
he 15-second video, originally posted on TikTok by user @ctllogisticsinc, gives us the first look at a Cybertruck after undergoing a ditch rollover test. This evaluation simulates what would happen if the truck veered off the road into a ditch and rolled over
While we don’t have the official test results, the aftermath demonstrates the Cybertruck’s resilience. The roof is dented inward and the bulletproof side windows are missing, but the windshield remains intact. The body panels along the roof rails are bent up, confirming suspicions that the Cybertruck uses a unibody frame with exterior panels, rather than a true exoskeleton design.
Nonetheless, the ultra-hard stainless steel panels are far less deformed than standard auto body materials would be after such extreme testing. Some compromise in body structure allows the vehicle to absorb crash energy rather than transferring it completely to occupants.
The short clip also reveals debris strewn about the truck bed and interior, hinting at the forces involved. More importantly, it provides our first clear view of the rear seat and its novel octagonal cup holders. An 8-inch touchscreen display, like those in other Tesla models, is mounted on the back of the front seats.
Tesla’s radical pickup truck is nearing market launch, with sightings of release candidate vehicles on public roads. Rigorous testing like this rollover evaluation ensures the production Cybertruck will live up to Tesla’s claims of unmatched durability and safety. Early reservation holders can look forward to an exciting new driving experience built on a proven, resilient platform.
This exclusive video offers Cybertruck fans an intriguing glimpse behind the scenes as Tesla refines and validates their highly anticipated vehicle. Stay tuned for more details as the futuristic EV pickup nears its long-awaited launch.
