The Tesla Cybertruck has officially done what no other pickup truck in America has managed:
It earned both the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award and a perfect 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from NHTSA — at the same time.
Yes, the same truck that looks like a rejected DeLorean from 2045 just scored “Good” in every major crash test (small overlap, side impact, moderate overlap) and crushed crash avoidance and pedestrian protection.
IIHS testers: “We were skeptical about the stainless steel exoskeleton…”
Cybertruck: survives every test like it’s bored
IIHS: “…never mind, carry on.”
Meanwhile traditional pickup trucks watching the results: “We have 80 cupholders and a V8 rumble… This thing has bulletproof-looking doors and still protects pedestrians better than we do.”
Skeptics who said the angular design would never pass modern safety standards are currently in group therapy.
Cybertruck owners right now: “Yeah, it looks like a low-poly video game asset… but it’s also the safest truck on the road. Cope.”
Tesla didn’t just build a truck. They built the first pickup that can survive a crash and look like it’s here to colonize Mars.
