The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave Tesla Cybertruck a five -star global security rating. Although the electric truck was not at each test, the only ones where it received a four -star note was the discount resistance and a passenger frontal barrier test, which simulated a frontal collision between two vehicles similar to 35 MPH (56 km / h).

The tests were carried out using a cyber-best Cybertruck 2024 and were carried out last December by the Applicus Idiada Karco Engineering in California. While the results cover dozens of pages, the impact test of the front barrier has shown that there was “100% retention of the windshield and no intrusion into the protected area of ​​the windshield”. He continued to note that the lateral doors of the driver and the passenger remained closed during the impact and were operational after the collision.

Although the driver and air weapons of the driver’s knee did not deploy, Tesla said that it was “by design for this specific test configuration”. However, the front inflatable cushions were deployed to protect the passenger driver and models.

The impact test on the rigid post side has not revealed many notes, but the lateral inflatable cushions have been deployed as expected. The impact test of the deformable moving barrier also seems quite banal.

Tesla is undoubtedly satisfied with the results, but it should be noted that Cybertruck is not the only five-star electric pick-up, because the Ford F-150 Lightning also has the highest security note. Unfortunately, the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, GMC Hummer EV and Rivian R1T were not assessed.

Although the Cybertruck is safe, it is not cheap because the model starts at $ 79,990 and climbs to $ 99,990 for the range cyberbeast.
