Tesla is conducting testing on its upcoming Cybertruck, and a video was posted at the moment exhibiting the aftermath of of a “ditch rollover” crash take a look at, together with a have a look at the rear seat and included 8-inch display screen, like on the Mannequin S/X and refreshed Mannequin 3.

We’re getting increasingly more Cybertruck information and sightings these days with the Cybertruck launch imminent. We’ve seen a “Launch Candidate” supercharging, seen the frunk open with liner put in, and seen below the hood, together with a have a look at the inside.

We haven’t seen a lot of the rear seat, but, although, and at the moment we bought a video that features a fast and clear have a look at the rear seat – however with a little bit additional particles strewn round.

It is because this video is of a “ditch rollover” examined Cybertruck – after it went by the take a look at. Ditch rollover testing is supposed to simulate what would occur to a automobile if it veered off the highway right into a ditch, inflicting the automobile to roll over.

We don’t have precise outcomes of the testing, or of the crash take a look at dummies inside, merely a have a look at the aftermath of the automobile after it was put onto the truck to move again residence.

The video was posted to TikTok by @ctllogisticsinc, an account with solely 2 movies and 6 followers, seemingly owned by Chicago-based trucking firm CTL Logistics. It appears it was the corporate accountable for transferring the Cybertruck after the take a look at. The video was then deleted, however has been archived in a thread on cybertruckownersclub discussion board.

We are able to see two Cybertrucks within the video, with one lined and the opposite seen, clearly having been by a giant crash. The video goes on to indicate the within of the Cybertruck’s “vault” (trunk/mattress) and the rear seat, together with loads of assorted particles.

The truck is lacking its two rear “bulletproof” home windows, although the entrance home windows and windshield are comparatively intact. The roof bow, the “peak” of the Cybertruck’s triangular roof, is bent inward. And steel physique panels alongside the facet roof rail are bent up.

That final bit may increase some eyebrows from those that have adopted Cybertruck because the starting. The Tesla Cybertruck has been marketed as having an “exoskeleton” building which is able to assist scale back manufacturing prices as a result of the automobile physique panels would even be automobile structural items. This was one key level of why the Cybertruck seems to be so bizarre.

However extra not too long ago we’ve seen footage of the Cybertruck being constructed and it seems to be prefer it has a standard unibody body, with physique panels on high – these panels are simply flat, fairly than curved like on most different autos.

This video appears so as to add proof to that view, because the crashed and bent physique panels type of appear like they’re hanging off the precise automobile body beneath – extra like conventional auto building, and never truly a breakthrough in exoskeleton manufacturing as Tesla initially advised. Although it is a little bit of an arcane dialog regardless.

However the panels are nonetheless principally straight, not almost as deformed as most automobile physique panels could be after a crash. That is most likely owing to Tesla’s use of a lot thicker “extremely onerous” chrome steel physique panels, in comparison with the a lot thinner metal or aluminum panels different autos use (although it must be famous that autos are purported to deform in a crash, as a result of automobile deformation dissipates crash power that may in any other case be transferred into the our bodies of the occupants).

Transferring on, we are able to see contained in the “vault,” with a bunch of particles inside it. One massive piece is the trim from the outside wheel arch, which is lacking from the automobile exterior, so we are able to think about that different items within the truck mattress might need come from different elements of the automobile as nicely. Oddly, the inside of the vault seems to be fairly smashed up, with the truck mattress having dents in it – maybe this occurred on account of general deformation of the automobile physique/body within the crash?

Then the video reveals the rear seat, and in that we see one thing new: two hexagonal “cyber cupholders” (maybe not essentially the most steady for holding round shapes… perhaps Tesla will launch a “Cyber water bottle” together with its recently-released Cyber spoon) and the pièce de résistance, an 8-inch rear display screen, very like the Mannequin S, X and now the refreshed Mannequin 3 have.

That is the primary full look we’ve seen on the rear seat in gentle – we’ve been inside it on the Cybertruck introductory occasion, however that was an early model (and all we are able to observe is that it was comfy and cavernous on our brief trip). A blurry video circulated not too long ago, but it surely was taken from the attitude of somebody sitting within the seat, so we haven’t seen the precise seat but till now.

What do you consider the video of this crashed Cybertruck? Discover something we didn’t? Need to train your typing fingers arguing in regards to the definition of “exoskeleton?” Tell us within the feedback.
