Tesla Cybertruck Severed in Dramatic Accident with G Wagon in Texas

A Tesla Cybertruck was split in half following a dramatic collision with a Mercedes-Benz G Wagon in Frisco, Texas, a few days ago.

The incident has quickly garnered significant attention, primarily due to the striking aftermath captured in images that surfaced online. Reports indicate that the driver of the G Wagon lost control of the vehicle, subsequently crashing into several parked cars and ultimately making first contact with the Cybertruck.

The driver of the G Wagon was hospitalized, with his current condition remaining unknown. Authorities suspect that a medical emergency might have precipitated the loss of control, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. Remarkably, he was the only individual injured in the incident, as the parked vehicles were unoccupied at the time of the crash.

Tesla Cybertruck Severed in Half After Collision with G Wagon

The impact was so severe that it cleanly severed the Cybertruck at the bed, raising questions about Tesla’s claims regarding the vehicle’s durability. Weighing just under 6,000 lbs, the G Wagon undoubtedly packed a considerable force, but the extent of the damage to the Cybertruck has left many surprised.

Critics have pointed out that Tesla’s assertion of a ‘bulletproof’ exoskeleton might require reevaluation based on the materials used in construction.

While Tesla touts an “ultra-hard stainless steel exoskeleton,” scrutiny reveals that many components of the Cybertruck’s frame are actually composed of aluminum, creating a structure that resembles a traditional unibody rather than a true exoskeletal design.

The visible external parts, which are critical to the structural integrity in a supposed exoskeleton, appear to be largely decorative trims rather than integral components.

As the investigation into the incident continues, experts can speculate about the implications this accident may hold for Tesla’s marketing claims and the overall perception of vehicle safety in electric cars.
