Tesla Cybertruck Spots Pool, Leaps Right In | Carscoops

      It is not clear how the driver of the electric pickup lost control, but fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.

      The front end of the Tesla sustained significant damage after crashing into a swimming pool.

      Local firefighters managed to stabilize the rear of the Tesla and safely rescued the occupants.

      It is still uncertain whether the electric vehicle will be repaired or deemed a total loss by the insurance company.

      In Arizona, the owner of a matte black Tesla Cybertruck made a very expensive error by driving the electric pickup directly into a backyard swimming pool. Fortunately, the pool was empty at the time of the incident, which meant the Cybertruck did not cause any injuries and avoided further damage from a potential swim.

      The accident occurred near the intersection of East University Drive and North Signal Butte Road, at the outskirts of Phoenix. While images shared on Instagram by the Local 3878 Firefighters do not clarify how the Cybertruck ended up in the pool, it's reasonable to assume that the truck veered off-road, likely breaking through a fence before its unintended plunge.

      Recent NHTSA testing indicates that the Cybertruck is built robustly and offers a high level of safety; however, this particular vehicle's front end is quite damaged after crashing into the empty pool. The vehicle's nose absorbed most of the impact, resulting in a crushed front bumper and hood, as well as a shattered windshield. There is also a possibility that the undertray sustained damage and will require repairs.

      Local fire crews were present to manage the situation. They installed supports under the rear of the truck to prevent it from tipping further, allowing them to safely extract the occupants. Ambulances were available to assist them, though it's unclear if the only injury was to their egos.

      What lies ahead for this Cybertruck? Based on the available images, it is possible that it could be repaired, depending on whether the insurance company opts to cover the costs or chooses to scrap the vehicle and sell it at auction. If any major components of the front crash structure were compromised, that would increase the repair costs, as would any damage to the driver’s side front suspension.
