Tesla Cybertruck Involved in Rear-End Collision with Dodge Ram
Electrifying Encounter
A recent incident involving a Tesla Cybertruck and a Dodge Ram has sparked heated discussions online, with the Cybertruck owner alleging that inattentive driving on the part of the Ram driver led to the unfortunate collision. The incident, shared by the owner on the popular social platform Reddit, highlights both the resilience of the Cybertruck and the potential costly repairs that may be required.
Fortunate Outcome
The collision occurred a mere 450 miles into the Cybertruck owner’s experience, leaving both the driver and passengers thankfully unharmed. Remarkably, the Cybertruck seemed to have withstood the impact quite well, with only a bent rear bumper. Interestingly, the tailgate exhibited a visible imprint of the Dodge Ram’s grill, adding character to the situation.
Varying Reactions
Online reactions to the incident have been diverse, showcasing the differences in perceptions of the electric pickup. Supporters of Tesla were quick to commend the vehicle’s performance during the collision, suggesting that the Cybertruck might only require a new bumper to be fully restored. However, critics were keen to place blame on the Cybertruck and its driver, questioning the vehicle’s crumple zone functionality at the rear.
Hidden Costs
While the external damage to the Cybertruck may appear to be minimal, concerns have been raised regarding potential internal damage that may require costly repairs. A prior incident involving a Rivian R1T, a competitor in the electric pickup market, resulted in a $42,000 repair bill, emphasizing the substantial expenses that may arise. Tesla owners also expressed apprehension about the repair timeline, as the production of the all-electric pickup is still being scaled up.
