Elon Musk brags about Tesla Cybertruck's power after devastating crash

  • Authorities suspect that excessive speed contributed to the severity of this serious accident.
  • A second, unrelated Cybertruck accident also recently occurred in Mexico.

Since customer deliveries of the Tesla Cybertruck started at the end of last year, we have seen photos and videos of some examples of accidents. But aside from an incident a few months ago when a Cybertruck crashed and caught fire, we haven’t seen one as badly damaged as this one. If you’ve ever wondered what a broken down Cybertruck looks like, this is it.

This Tesla was destroyed this weekend in Guadalajara, Mexico, after reportedly crashing into a statue. No exact cause for the accident has yet been confirmed, although local media suggest speeding was likely a factor. The extent of the damage speaks to this.

Photos shared on social media show the Cybertruck sitting on its roof in the middle of the road with extensive damage to the front and rear, as well as both sides. It is so badly damaged that it is almost unrecognizable and shockingly three of the wheels and hubs have been ripped off the truck, giving us an idea of ​​the forces that must have been involved.

Even the CEO of Tesla Elon Musk caught wind of the crash and shared photos of the destroyed Tesla with X, proclaiming that the “Cybertruck is stronger than a bag of nails.”

Local point of sale Monclova reports that four people were in the Cybertruck at the time of the crash. One of them, an 18-year-old woman, was thrown from the Tesla and found lying on the sidewalk. She was taken to hospital in critical condition. The three other occupants avoided serious injuries, but were also rushed to hospital.

This isn’t the only recent Mexican crash involving the Cybertruck. A few days ago, a 23-year-old driving the futuristic-looking electric car crashed into the wall of a building in San Miguel, Chapultepec. The force of the impact crumpled the front of the Tesla. Fortunately, the driver suffered no significant injuries.

For those counting, that’s two major Mexican accidents in as many weeks for Tesla’s heaviest vehicle.
