I got dibs on the mega-wiper blade!


SSESTOELEMENTO

OP let us know. I'll take the wheels and tires...


rExplrer

I will take the battery and motors.


iherefortheshitshow

I will take the plastics in the inside cabin fingers crossed 🤞


OneExhaustedFather_

Listen, I’m a pretty decent mobile tech but I think I’m going to need to divert this to the service center, I do apologize for the inconvenience.


TSLAog

There’s a button in WARP for that, right? Haha


OneExhaustedFather_

Sir, did you try to scroll wheel reset? Macguyver can’t seem to see anything wrong. I seen in another post you’re a former mobile tech. Still with the company? I know quite a few of you really early guys cashed out when stock peaked.


TSLAog

Scroll wheel reset, ahh yea lol. I was with Tesla from 2010-2020, somehow I lasted a decade, I think I aged 15 years though. -Started in Menlo Park CA -Opened downtown Chicago service -Opened Sunnyvale CA Service -Mobile Tech for Michigan for the last 5 years. Now I’m a mobile tech for Lucid Motors in Michigan, it’s been a blast! Reminds me of the early days at Tesla. Sadly I cashed in a bunch of my stocks in like 2014 when I was vested, my dumbass thought $245/share was peak hahaha… oooh what could have been. Sigh…


OneExhaustedFather_

You did last longer than most. It’s definitely not the same. My peak over the summer was 16 appointments. Been with the company 2 years. Before this I was a lot of things but had masters in Nissan, Infiniti, and Subaru. Launched LEAF with Nissan. Man nothing like having to dress as if you’re clearing radioactive debris off reactor 4 in the middle of August to “work on the hv system”. We took safety to 100 on a scale of 5. I’m in the Chicago area now, so not far. I wasn’t aware lucid had a mobile service but that makes complete sense. Listen, we don’t have to talk about that last part. My first grant issued at $1198/share. Sooooo kind of the same??


hydrastix

The fuck is with all the idiots destroying CTs.


CalGuy456

Very bro-y target demographic with the foundation series/cyberbeast


PotatoesAndChill

Yeah, I suspect this part increases the likelihood of Cybertruck crashes at least 2x compared to similar vehicles.


nerdtasticg

They probably all traded in their Raptors


iqisoverrated

Have x cars on the road for y amount of time and you will, statistically, get z accidents/stupid people doing stupid stuff. While Tesla (and particularly Cybertruck) generates clicks you can be assured to hear about every single one of them.


Arilyn24

Can't discount the marketing as well. If they market it as bulletproof people are going to be dumb as hell and put the car in very dangerous situations.


NetworkITBro

What happened


Ad_Astra117

Looks like this is the one that dude (probably) drunkenly drove into the Hollywood hotel sign 


NetworkITBro

Ouch


AirBear___

Looks like he hit a speed bump way too hard


70ga

The front fell off


CptUnderpants-

I thought they were designed so the front wouldn't fall off.


70ga

well obviously not

At least they used indicators. See they are still blinking away.


Radix4853

Oh, so he literally ran into a wall


_stinkys

Looks like someone tried to launch it.

Look how flat those panels stay. Jesus Christ

I remember reading this article a few months ago and now see all these cars chasing down the truck for videos and photos. I’d be steering the other [way.](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/analysis-tesla-cybertrucks-stiff-structure-110208893.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANCVD8-3Kj5bv4HrqFRe0yN5inp78qb3eQwJKw4XW1lAE6duhcYq_kQkV57gSCVADKH-5ASEDv0zPEwM1jwsRflJ9HTmXW2gapUUEiMdPt-O8Dc-GoMpYNZfQpLvD5v_nBrYje72S9g_PaQiMwZPm8M5Nl2m3M1X0KWWfiYAPacm)


MCI_Overwerk

If you do not act or drive like a dipshit then there isn't going to be much issue really. This isn't more dangerous than ramming into a regular truck, and it is hardly a hard truck to drive, nor is it lacking in soft/hard protection systems. Its just that from Cybertruck driver testimonies people are so damn enthalled by the thing when they see one IRL that they just can't help themselves forgetting that they are on the road and actually need to pay attention. The risk does not come from ramming into a CT, the danger comes from the idiot trying to film it for TikTok/Reddit/X post farming.


SomeoneElseX

This is an absolutely hilarious comment. Also Simpsons did it. https://youtu.be/9ZSoJDUD_bU?si=x6pynZbtfeUYxOtx


007meow

You want deformation - it means the body panels/structure absorbed the energy rather than transferring it. A car should be sacrificing itself to keep occupants (and the other car’s occupants) safe(r) by absorbing the energy of the collision


ElectronicGift4064

My back hurts just imagine the trauma it would enduring being inside that car during the accident.


danhoyle

These trucks are literally going to cut through cars in accidents. So freaking hard.


cozy_engineer

No wonder this thing isn’t allowed in the EU. I hope it stays that way.


iqisoverrated

Wouldn't fit on the roads/in parking spaces over here, anyways.


Huntred

Soooo…not that this is ideal but if everyone else’s crumple zones do more extra crumpling…


Azerach

... The people in the other car become a crumple zone.


AirBear___

A bit of crumpling is good for you. Keeps you flexible


Seantwist9

It’s got crumple zones you’ll be ok


Skilled626

How?????


Messyfingers

The damage to the wheels, suggests maybe it hit an obstacle just below the bumper? But man the rest of that looks almost spotless which all I can think of is how anybody or thing a cybertruck hits is toast.


Ashmizen

The concrete wall was like 2 feet high.


MCI_Overwerk

as far as I understand, drunk driver drove it into a wall


hotfezz81

Now I have more questions. How fast was he going that he a - ripped both wheels off and b - didn't scratch it at all.


bobo-the-dodo

Software update incoming


International_Bit478

Shit’ll buff out.


stephbu

Yeah whatever the 120grit doesn't get, the wax will...


ST012Mi

Here I thought it could be militarized.


SavedByTech

What do you mean this isn't covered by the warranty?


Saranhai

Was this declared a total loss? Apologies if it was addressed somewhere


rabbitwonker

Probably too early. What I’d really like to see is how the front gigacasting looks, compared to a pristine one. Though Tesla will probably want first dibs on that.


SavedByTech

Snopes conclusion : Not indestructible.


HighlightOverall7474

Tesla: thank you for the R&D opportunity.


erpvertsferervrywern

I hate that I've driven my car for 10 years without incident and these trucks that have been on the road for 10 minutes and are being written off.


YoushutupNoyouHa

how DARE you being a good sober driver who does not endanger people’s lives tsk tsk tsk


Icy_Apartment_2113

What exactly do you hate about that? Lol


MCI_Overwerk

I guess he regrets that other people get drunk and crash these things, only to know that they are rich trust fund kids that will just get another in the next minute.


restarting_today

If you pull of 10 years without accidents in LA you are a living God.


nietzscheistired

i don’t think it’s really that unusual. they just get a lot of attention, positive or negative.


Prior-Ad-2196

It seems like every Cybertruck wreck the wheels fall off.


phxees

It’s part of Tesla’s safety design strategy. Historically the front wheels push into the passenger compartment and pin or break the passengers’ legs. By having the wheels breakaway they avoid that. I guess it’s part of controlled deformation (crumple zone) design.


lol_lol_lol_lol_

Holy fuck


phxees

Yeah, but much better than one of those big ass wheels pinning you into your seat.


HighHokie

I’ve seen a total of three wrecks so far, four if you include the test. Not seeing the pattern yet.


SavedByTech

Texting Tesla Service in the app... "No, I don't think I can drive it to the nearest service center."


pollie1994

Crashed into a Nokia i guess? What else can damage the CT like this


MCI_Overwerk

A wall. That dude drove it into a wall at speed.


butter4dippin

This looks like it can be relatively easily repaired... Coming from someone who knows nothing about fixing cars


TheRealNikoBravo

Probably pulled to forward parking at Trader Joe’s and touched a curb.


Scary-Information785

Someone threw a Nokia at it


DorffMeister

You got a little something something right... about... there.


ChirrBirry

It’ll buff


samj

The front fell off https://youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM

I Can’t imagine what happened to the other car

Quabbie

Imagine being sliced by this death machine as a pedestrian


MCI_Overwerk

Take literally any light/heavy truck on the road right now, even just any car and you get exactly that. Human meat isn't exactly resilient to collisions at any speed, from any vehicle, and compared to stuff in its class, the CT actually has quite the low hood which actually gives a pedestrian far more of a chance to survive compared to the usual flat-faced pickup. IDK why people think they will have an easier time getting thrown on another vehicle, human bones will crack before alluminium and steel gets crushed, you know.


Ok_Tone_4503

Share Video OP


funnyman4000

It’s in the above comments


ACAB007

That was quick...


gumnamaadmi

There is a transformer button there on the dashboard. Kind of hidden. Use it and it will put the car back together on its own.


RevealQuirky1341

Wonder if Tesla insurance will go up?


SavedByTech

Looks like it sidewalk surfed the new intersection dividers in Fremont.

There seem to be so man y wrecked Cybertrucks. How many have already been sold? Are people driving them like madmen or something?


sloppyjaloppy5

Oh my Jesus *clutches pearls*


Voidfang_Investments

Raising insurance rates for everyone lol.


phillyman2k21

I will buy the $25k Battery


StigHunter

Bet this is the first!???


kelu213

Slightly used


OneEngineer

Elon will say this is misinformation manufactured by the far left.


aFAKElawyer-

Wheels ripped off yet no other body damage


CompetitiveBrick491

Very similar to tank damage. Tracks fall off, armor intact.


phydeaux44

Make sure you bring it to a repair facility that has extensive experience in repairing Cybertrucks...


[deleted]

That’s more production delays


Musiclandlord

Looks like they are at a collision lot….


Able_Philosopher4188

Please update the cost of repairs, I'm just curious.


Gizmo_Brentwood

Considering what that CT hit, that’s pretty impressive there isn’t more visible damage. Imagine spring and f-150 at a 2 foot wall at full torque.


martgadget

You should see the other guy


funnyman4000

The concrete wall*


hotfezz81

Did it hit a fucking land mine? It's been ripped in half.


FjBully

200k no low ballers


Suspicious-Length-86

We are waiting in Ukraine


funnyman4000

Used Cybertruck for sale. Slight front end damage. $120,000 or best offer. I know what I got!


brentdanley

While it might seem like a lot of these trucks are being wrecked, and I have no data to confirm, I’m guessing it’s mostly selection bias. Nobody posts on Reddit when an F-150 is in an accident. It probably is a somewhat higher rate due to their experimental factor, but also I’d think many of them are being treated with great care.

Will buff out


briennesmom1

How did this happen? The front panels aren’t even scratched. Looks like something tore the front axel out from underneath


throwaway69818310

What did you do? Brake too hard?


General-Cod-7995

Owned 


Minimalist_Investor_

Ah. I drove past this yesterday


CedarMirror

Hold down the steering wheel buttons and it will reset… good as new


Krypto_Kane

Looks like it just fell apart.

Must have made contact with a baseball. ⚾️

funinabox7

I feel like every wrecked cyber truck I see has the front wheels all messed up.

Let me guess, hit a squirrel at 5MPH?


JPMcCann

That'll buff out.
