Tesla’s “indestructible” Cybertruck met its match in Mexico City, as it collided with a house on a quiet corner. Photos from the scene show the aftermath.
The model, designed to withstand everything from baseball bat impacts to class 4 hail, ended up embedded in a house at the intersection of Martínez de Castro and General Pedro Antonio de los Santos, leaving not only property damage but also raising questions about the true durability of this luxury vehicle.
The accident occurred in the middle of the night, with the vehicle crashing head-on into the corner of the house, damaging the fence and the parking lot door.
Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported.
While some witnesses claim they saw the occupants leave in an ambulance, others state that, after exchanging information with the property owners, they departed calmly, leaving the Cybertruck stranded at the scene.
The truck, which costs between 2,199,999 and 2,599,900 pesos in Mexico, ($145,594 USD) was visibly damaged: the front bumper and headlights were shattered, the windshield was cracked, and the airbags fully deployed.
A Tesla insurance adjuster arrived at the scene to coordinate the wait for a tow truck to remove the Cybertruck, putting its reputation as an “indestructible” vehicle to the test in this unfortunate collision.
