Tesla Cybertruck's First Collision in China – Not a Single Scratch on the Paint
A video posted online shows a Tesla Cybertruck pickup truck colliding with a car in Mianyang, Sichuan Province. This is reportedly the first recorded Cybertruck car accident in China.
The video shows that due to the Cybertruck's stainless steel body, its hardness significantly exceeds that of the car. The front of the Cybertruck only experienced component detachment and deformation, while the car was pushed into the green belt in the middle of the road, with severe damage to the front passenger side, including the hood, headlights, and bumper.
Netizens joked, "The Tesla Cybertruck crashed, and not a single scratch on the paint," and "The Cybertruck's body is so hard, how do you even do bodywork?"
It is understood that the Tesla Cybertruck is not yet for sale in China, and the vehicles on the road are all imported.
Previous reports indicate that the Cybertrucks legally driven on Chinese roads are all individually certified with 3C certification through parallel imports. The dual-motor version has a landed price of over 2 million yuan, and the tri-motor high-performance version costs around 2.68 million yuan, with even higher prices for scarce in-stock vehicles.
At the same time, due to its pickup truck attributes, the vehicle is restricted in some cities, has a mandatory scrapping period of 15 years, and lacks official Tesla warranty and after-sales service.
In comparison, the Cybertruck's price in the US market is $69,990 (approximately 485,000 yuan), while the entry-level version in China already costs more than four times the US market price.
