“Moderate Overlap Front Crash Test” makes it sound very… niche. It sounds like acing the “Multi-vendor Cup Holder Compatibility Test”, where McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Popeye’s cups all fit.
But this is good news - after a crash, a Tesla owner can admire the sturdiness of their intact front-end while they burn to death because they’re unable to open the door and escape.
The severity of a frontal crash depends on the vehicle’s weight, so ratings in this test can only be compared among vehicles of similar weight.
Yes, it is safer to be in a heavier vehicle in a crash. However, there are differences among heavy vehicles as well. The F150 Lightning for example did worse.
It’s obvious that you desperately want the Cybertruck to be an unsafe vehicle but the reality is that compared to other vehicles of the same class it’s not. You can view the full report here.
If I remember correctly it’s an important test because it was neglected for decades. Car makers had no idea how dangerous that type of accident was.
Like EVs had safety improvements because China spent so much effort on protecting the battery from side impacts that it carried over to occupant safety.

Dude, I’m not the OC. And I was talking about the CT’s angles protecting its own occupants in this scenario.
It’s obvious you desperately want to start an internet argument. May I suggest you to touch some grass.
I assumed you were the original commenter, my bad.
