Three occupants of a Tesla Cybertruck were pronounced dead early Wednesday morning after the vehicle crashed and burned in Piedmont, officials said.
Another occupant of the car was taken to the hospital with severe injuries, Piedmont Police Chief Jeremy Bowers said during a morning press conference. His department received an iPhone alert from within the vehicle at 3:08 a.m., he said, and officers got to the scene two minutes later and found the Cybertruck covered in flames. Firefighters arrived at 3:16 a.m., he said. The causes of the single-car crash and the three deaths are under investigation at this time, but speed was likely a “contributing factor,” Chief Bowers said.
“Our women and men who responded to this call did everything they could,” the police chief said at the press conference. “It's devastating. But again, the devastation pales in comparison to what these families are dealing with this morning, the day before Thanksgiving.”
California Highway Patrol’s incident page shows that a coroner arrived about two hours after the police and fire units.
The crash mangled the vehicle. Video and photos show it rammed against both a retaining wall and a tree on the side of the road. The front of the Cybertruck was crumpled, with a panel on the front-right corner almost completely shorn off.

Cyber Trucks weigh well over 3 tons and are insanely fast.
People dumb enough to buy one may be too dumb to drive one.
True that.
I like to be first past the green light, so I can change lanes if need be, but I don’t need to be going 60mph in 2 seconds to do that.
>the vehicle at 3:08 a.m
One may speculate a correlation between both the personalities of people who drive at 3am and the likely state of awareness of such drivers before being concerned about which vehicle they were using.
Mass x Acceleration. The Force was with them.
Good riddance. Happy Thanksgiving.

I love Elon, but the Cybertruck is the ugliest thing on the road.
Just my humble opinion.
You've never seen some of the drivers in Oklahoma.
LOL....I’ll watch out for ‘em when I ride my Harley down Route 66.
If it wasn’t the battery that was burning, what was it?
The alcohol?
