How about a longer axle so the tires protrude on the sides?37" tires on a Cybertruck...no-go without modifying the fender well:
Looks like this is a manufacturer owned vehicle driven by a Tesla engineer so it is unlikely the owner waited four years for the vehicle. This will probably be towed back to Tesla so engineers can go over how well the CT performed in a head on collision.First Cyber-crash:
Dang, imagine waiting 4 years for your new Cyber-whip, only to get hit by a teenager!
Windshield wipers that think for you are pretty much my biggest pet peeve in cars. I've had to pull over in rentals to find the setting to turn that shit off.
Considering it's probably 200% heavier than what it hit, it better have done fine. How about the people in the sedan this thing hit?Looks like this is a manufacturer owned vehicle driven by a Tesla engineer so it is unlikely the owner waited four years for the vehicle.

From the pics and accident report posted on Reddit it appears to have performed well and all safety systems deployed as expected with only minor injuries reported by the CT passengers who declined medical assistance.
One other minor correction should also be noted. The driver of the truck didn't hit anything. The driver of the Corolla was the one who lost control of the vehicle ramped up an embankment then crossed over into the on coming lane of traffic hitting the truck head on.Considering it's probably 200% heavier than what it hit, it better have done fine.

ETA: article says the only injury was a minor injury in the Cyber Truck and the kids in the Corolla were fine.
I didn't care enough to RTFA, but supposedly the Corolla's crumple zones allowed its occupants to avoid any injury. OTOH, Cybertruck's lack of crumple zones helped Tesla avoid a big repair bill.Considering it's probably 200% heavier than what it hit, it better have done fine.

The big Tesla news of the day is that their calendar Q4 sales were up only 20% YoY, despite fierce price cutting. If this is the new normal going forward (remember they've maintained they could grow 50% every year for many years to come), then the entire foundation of TSLA's valuation is flawed.
The word "Hit" isn't a statement of fault. The cars hit each other, regardless of it being the fault of the Corolla.One other minor correction should also be noted.

I'm guessing in reality the Cybertruck people were smart and just said they had minor injuries so if some pain came up later they weren't on the record saying they were fine.I didn't care enough to RTFA, but supposedly the Corolla's crumple zones allowed its occupants to avoid any injury.

As several of us have imagined, the CT is gonna be a huge problem on the roads if Tesla figures out how to sell hundreds of thousands of them to American drivers.

What the heck are you talking about? The $40k in 2019 dollars doesn't exist because inflation adjusted it would be nearly $50k today.My guess is that the $39k Cybertruck doesn't exist because of this. You can buy a M3 for that price...who would buy those if you could just get a truck for the same price?
Except for the 10 Cybertrucks that were delivered to customers last month, I haven't heard anything about a lack of supply since 2022?I'm guessing in reality the Cybertruck people were smart and just said they had minor injuries so if some pain came up later they weren't on the record saying they were fine.
I'd love to know how much of the disappointment was lack of demand vs lack of supply.
No, the vehicles involved in the accident did not "hit each other". After loosing control of their vehicle the driver of the Corolla crossed a double yellow line entering into oncoming traffic and hit the truck head on. The California Highway Patrols initial summary of the accident verifies this to be true.The word "Hit" isn't a statement of fault. The cars hit each other, regardless of it being the fault of the Corolla.
This isn't worth arguing about, but here is the definition of hit "To come into contact with forcefully; strike." In a head on collision where both cars are moving, they both hit each other regardless of fault. I never blamed the CT, so I'm pretty sure you are just arguing to argue.No, the vehicles involved in the accident did not "hit each other".

Hey, don't blame me because you can't get your facts straight. You were the one who used the words "it hit" and "this thing hit" when in fact the truck involved in the accident hit nothing.This isn't worth arguing about, but here is the definition of hit "To come into contact with forcefully; strike."

So what damaged the Corolla if it "hit nothing." Sorry I didn't say "It weights 200% more than thing that hit it." I will take note that in the future I need to ask you for the definitions of words instead of Oxford.Hey, don't blame me because you can't get your facts straight.

You can dictionary the shit out of the definition of hit but you're still wrong.
Yeah I see where you're coming from.I seriously doubt you'd react the same way if this was a Ram truck instead of Cybertruck and I said the same thing.
