Two Tesla Cybertrucks Destroyed in Separate Mexican Crashes - But You Won't Believe What Happened to the Passengers

Over the weekend, a pair of high-profile accidents involving Tesla’s futuristic Cybertruck rocked Mexico, sparking intense conversations around the safety and durability of this unconventional electric vehicle. With the truck’s jaw-dropping, angular design already turning heads across the globe, these latest incidents have further thrust the Cybertruck into the limelight—but perhaps not in the way Tesla had hoped.

The first of these accidents occurred on a fateful Friday night, November 1st, shattering the stillness of the San Miguel Chapultepec neighborhood in Mexico City. In a scene that left locals speechless, a 23-year-old male driver lost control of his brand-new Cybertruck, ramming it into a residential gate. According to witness accounts, the crash unfolded rapidly, as the massive, stainless-steel behemoth crumpled iron bars and bricks alike, leaving an unnerving imprint on the property.

While details about the condition of the driver remain sparse, initial reports suggest that he walked away from the incident relatively unscathed—a testament, perhaps, to Tesla’s claims about the Cybertruck’s extraordinary strength. However, the sight of the battered and mangled vehicle in the upscale Miguel Hidalgo district raised eyebrows, with onlookers questioning how such a robust vehicle could suffer so much damage in a single-vehicle collision.

One neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, told local reporters, “The noise was so loud; it felt like an explosion. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this futuristic truck smashed into the gate.” And as images of the aftermath made their way onto social media, the conversation quickly spiraled into a heated debate about the Cybertruck’s supposed invincibility.

But if Friday’s accident sent ripples of concern, Saturday morning’s incident in Guadalajara caused a full-blown wave of alarm. At the bustling intersection of Américas and López Mateos avenues, a Cybertruck carrying four passengers violently crashed into the Colón roundabout. The result? An utterly devastating scene, with the truck torn apart, emergency services scrambling to save lives, and bystanders left in stunned silence.

Emergency responders arrived at approximately 6:00 a.m., only to find a scene of pure chaos. Three passengers remained trapped inside the crushed cabin, while a young woman, reportedly a minor, had been thrown clear from the wreckage upon impact. The sight of the Cybertruck—a vehicle often touted for its near-indestructibility—lying in ruins shocked even the most seasoned first responders.

“The destruction was incredible,” one emergency worker shared. “We’ve seen many accidents at this roundabout, but nothing like this. It’s a miracle that anyone survived.”

Indeed, despite the harrowing severity of the crash, all four occupants of the Cybertruck survived, though they suffered serious injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. Witnesses and rescuers marveled at how anyone could have emerged alive from such a wreck.

Social Media Reacts

As is now customary, news of the second accident soon flooded social media platforms, capturing the attention of thousands. A particularly viral post came from X user @BigImpactHumans, who shared shocking images of the destroyed Cybertruck, along with a caption that managed to both question and celebrate the vehicle's safety. “I have no idea what the person driving this Cybertruck in Mexico was doing,” the post read. “But this accident is surprising. All occupants of the Cybertruck survived. If this doesn’t prove the safety of Tesla vehicles, then I don’t know what will.”

This post quickly garnered traction, drawing in a whirlwind of reactions. Some users praised the Cybertruck’s resilience, emphasizing how the passengers’ survival was nothing short of remarkable. Others, however, were more skeptical, expressing doubts about the structural integrity of a vehicle that looked so shattered after impact.

Not one to let his company’s reputation be questioned without stepping in, Tesla CEO Elon Musk himself waded into the discussion. The tech billionaire reposted @BigImpactHumans' viral images and added his signature bravado to the conversation, stating, “Cybertruck is tougher than a bag of nails.” It was a classic Musk quip, dripping with confidence, and designed to reinforce the notion that this truck is built to withstand punishment like no other.

However, not everyone was convinced. Critics swiftly pointed out that while the Cybertruck’s unconventional exoskeleton might protect occupants from severe harm, the vehicle’s performance in real-world, high-impact crashes remains under scrutiny. One user snarkily replied, “Tougher than a bag of nails? Maybe, but nails don’t wrap around roundabouts.”

As the dust settles in the wake of these accidents, the discussion surrounding the Cybertruck has reached a fever pitch. Is this vehicle truly as indestructible as Musk claims? Or do these incidents reveal weaknesses in its design? What’s undeniable is that the Cybertruck’s blend of cutting-edge technology and radical aesthetics continues to captivate—and polarize—the public.

In the coming weeks, automotive safety experts are expected to weigh in with more analysis, and Tesla enthusiasts will likely remain fiercely loyal. Meanwhile, others wait with bated breath to see how the automaker will respond to the growing scrutiny. For now, the Cybertruck saga rolls on, a symbol of both Tesla’s ambitions and the ever-present risks of pushing the envelope in automotive innovation.
