Tesla’s Crash Lab engineers have revealed how the Cybertruck earned its impressive 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Designed for maximum safety, the Cybertruck leads the market with the lowest overall probability of injury and lowest probability of rollover among any pickup truck tested by NHTSA.
The behind-the-scenes look highlights Tesla’s innovative approach to safety, from advanced structural engineering to cutting-edge crash prevention systems. The Cybertruck’s unique design not only sets it apart visually but also enhances its ability to protect occupants in the event of a crash.
Key Highlights:
- 5-star safety rating from NHTSA
- Lowest overall probability of injury for any tested pickup
- Lowest probability of rollover in its class
- Advanced structural safety with large single-piece castings
- Engineered to prevent rollovers and protect occupants
Tesla’s Crash Lab plays a critical role in achieving these results. By using large single-piece castings, the Cybertruck’s structure minimizes weak points, enhancing its crash resilience. Engineers focused on creating a design that maintains cabin integrity while also absorbing impact forces effectively.
Additionally, the Cybertruck’s low center of gravity—a benefit of its battery pack placement—helps prevent rollovers, a common risk with traditional pickups. This feature ensures better stability during sudden maneuvers or collisions, further safeguarding passengers.
With these safety innovations, the Cybertruck not only breaks the mold in design and performance but also sets a new standard for pickup truck safety. Tesla continues to push the boundaries of automotive engineering, making safety a top priority alongside innovation.
