It was only a matter of time — weeks after Tesla released their fleet of douchebag mobile- sorry, Cybertrucks, we’ve finally seen how tank-like vehicles fare in an accident.
Sounds like the first Cybertruck accident has been seen

On Thursday afternoon, a Cybertruck crashed head-on into a Toyota Corolla on a remote road in Palo Alto, California, local authorities confirmed to The Verge. Though the car was allegedly not operating in Tesla’s highly controversial self-driving mode, the damage was clear, the entire front of the Toyota smashed to bits as the Tesla remained largely unscathed.
The Cybertruck damage:

CHP found both the Cybertruck was NOT using any autonomous driving features and the Toyota Camry was at fault in the accident. https://t.co/X4OSmQEQDN pic.twitter.com/MHZ8c6xigd
Though the truck may have emerged sans a single dent — at least based on the photos that u/boddhya uploaded in their now-viral post on r/cybertruck — the same could not be said of the Tesla driver, who suffered a minor injury as a result of the ordeal, the only one reported in the accident.
Much like its maker, we can now confirm that this accident has made the Cybertruck an — admittedly ugly — C-suite exec: As @greggertruck so aptly put it, it’s most definitely earned its title as the “CEO of “You should see the other guy.”
