How do you even get a vehicle past safety regulations and up for sale without third party crash testing?

I don’t know about Cybertruck but other Teslas rank high up in the safest cars ever tested. Would be surprising if this wouldn’t apply to cybertruck too though who knows.

I’ve heard that, but now I kinda think they probably just made those up.

Well, the euro NCAP tests give them some of the highest scores as well, so I do trust that (not including cybertruck).

Numbers skewed by time spent out of service waiting for something.

Watch that crash test video and tell me that’s safe…it crashes like a 72 Impala.
