The recent 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA has thrilled Elon Musk to the extent that he recalled he also manages a car company. Following the announcement of the results, Musk stated, “Cybertruck is apocalypse-level safe.

This isn’t the first electric truck to receive the honor as the F-150 Lightning also got five stars.

The angular electric truck was put through a battery of tests to simulate head-on and side crashes, as well as rollovers.

The Tesla Cybertruck has finally been independently crash-tested, but questions remain about how safe pedestrians would be.

These days, Tesla and its vehicles are in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. But the Cybertruck has finally undergone crash tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the results have been shared with the public.

There was a lot of skepticism surrounding the odd-ball-shaped Cybertruck's crashworthiness, but it didn't do too badly.

Tesla's Cybertruck may boast a polarizing design, but the federal government says it's certainly not an unsafe one. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's testing, the Cybertruck has received five-star ratings in multiple safety trial crash tests — and appears even safer than most pickup trucks in at least one category.
