That's to prepare Elmo for the feel of a real prison cell.




There's also been concern about the injuries that occupants could sustain during a serious crash because of the rigid frame.

Footage of Tesla Cybertruck units after allegedly being subjected to crash testing has once again raised serious questions about the safety of Tesla's electric pickup truck. The lack of body damage seems to suggest that passengers and other vehicles will take the brunt of the impact in a collision.

Footage recently posted to X (fka Twitter) alleges to show at least two Cybertruck units on the back of a semi truck after going through crash testing.

A closer look at the body damage reveals panels that are clearly deformed, although they are not so badly to indicate they've done any crumpling to absorb impact.

Crumple zones are essential automotive design features that allow the car's body and chassis to deform and absorb some of the force of the collision. If a body panel or chassis doesn't absorb the impact of a collision, the forces transferred to vehicle occupants is far higher and much more likely to cause injury.

The footage shared on X also seems to show that either the Cybertruck's suspension or chassis failed during the crash test, meaning there were substantial forces at play, despite the minimal body damage sustained during the test. This again points to a very rigid body, which may cause issues for Tesla's steller crash safety record.
