Tesla’s stainless steel Cybertruck was involved in its first reported accident after finally hitting the road last month — and it wasn’t pretty for the other car.
A Toyota Corolla was left crumpled after appearing to collide head-on with the fully electric, bomber-like vehicle on Thursday, according to a Reddit post that showed photos of the accident.
The Toyota’s front end was completely demolished, with the sedan’s side airbags deployed as it rested on the side of the road with its hood popped open and a headlight dangling, one photo shows. The 17-year-old driver was not hurt, local police told The Post.

LOL...the NY Post did some image resizing for me. This is how it appears when I click on the image. That's not me fooling with the aspect ratio of the image -- the NY Post is doing that. That is exactly what I see.
Or maybe Musk has been doing some radical redesign work?

I figured the Cybertruck driver was racing on Skyline, but turns out the other driver was a 17 year old kid who lost control and crossed over the road...right into the Cybertruck!

It’s the oval wheels. They’re the latest thing. A little bumpy but you get great mileage.

No amount of picture editing can make a Cybertruck look good. It just can’t be done.

Au Contraire, my friend. A CIWS in the bed would be awesome! Send them to the border.

*Hideous* is the adjective that comes to my mind.

Stretched like that, it looks like the APC from Aliens.

The left rear quarter panel looks like it's plastic filler where the trim was ripped off.

Sure, once one gets up to speed.
How’s the braking on ice?

Look up one of the earliest FR posts. The bed is actually normal size, has built in tonneau cover and the towing is better than gas and diesel trucks. Downside is a fraction of the mileage.

That is one of the ugliest trucks I’ve ever seen.

And if it was “Head-on, as the article stated, where are the pics of the trucks front end? They seem to be missing.
