Every person in the following Teslas survived these crashes.
An eerie thread. Keep scrolling.
(this one t-boned a semi. driver and passenger survived)
Model 3 launched through the air and down a 150ft embankment.
Yes, that mark on the tree is where the car hit it.
Model S rolled down a cliff
Driver had "a scratch".
This guy had 6 kids in the car. 5 non-buckled, all without car seats. Car smashed through 3 trees after going through a guardrail. All 7 occupants walked out. Driver arrested.
Happened in Manhattan. Tesla sped to 70mph, smashing into a delivery truck and a tour bus.
No serious injuries.
Semis, obviously.
You already saw this one. Family of 4 plunged down a 250ft cliff.
Rear ended by a semi traveling 65mph while the Model Y was in standstill traffic
That's because each component needs its own set of wires, connected to the central ECUs, in order to function.
Every speaker, every switch, every sensor, every actuator, every button.
Tesla threw out that entire system for Cybertruck.
Instead, they're running gigabit ethernet cabling with a 48v power + data CAN bus to every component— all on the same cable.
Instead of running one wiring harness to the driver door speaker, and another to the driver's door window motor, they can daisy-chain them together on the same self-contained cable interface. Your computer could connect to your door handle using the *same* wire that's already been through your speaker, window, ambient lights, and steering wheel.
Each of those devices/components listen to the continuous stream of data for a command relevant to its operation.
By doing this,Tesla was able to reduce the total wiring in the Cybertruck by 77%, using 1/2 the copper.
Don't sleep on Tesla.
As Jason Cammisa said on the Carmudgeon Show:
The exterior of Cybertruck is the LEAST crazy part of it.
not sure how I managed to get such a terrible quality graphic, here's a better one
