Two Tesla Cybertrucks were destroyed in separate crashes that happened in Mexico within just two days.
We haven’t seen a lot of Cybertruck crashes yet. That’s simply because there are not many Cybertrucks in the world yet.
That’s especially true in Mexico, considering the price of the Cyebrtruck, which results in a tiny market for it in the country, and the fact that deliveries south of the border started just a few weeks ago.
That’s why it is surprising to see the two Cybertrucks involved in two big crashes in Mexico within just a few days.
The first accident happened in Mexico City on Friday when, according to local news, a 23-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a gate:
No injuries were reported, but the vehicle looks like a total loss on top of the damage on the house’s gate.

Not sure how one rips the wheels off the front AND back unless a two part accident (slammed into the front, spun, slammed again).
Glad everyone survived!
As far as the younger person striking a gate - no details, but many people do poorly when driving high performance vehicles for the first time. We have all seen the videos of people hitting the gas drag racing and ending up off the road/into a tree.
The second crash happened early on Saturday in Guadalajara and the circumstances around the crash are not clear, but the aftermath is absolutely terrifying:
The good news is that no one died, but all three passengers, a 17-year-old girl, a 19-year-old man, a 60-year-old man, and an 18-year-old woman who was found on the pavement by emergency responders but believed to have been ejected from the Cybertruck, were all transported to the hospital.
The Cybertruck appears to have rolled over several times – something that is exceptionally hard to do with electric vehicles but especially Tesla vehicles.
The Cybertruck has yet to be independently crash-tested by safety agencies. Tesla could potentially find some value in inspecting those two crashes in Mexico considering they are amongst the first major crashes involving Cybertrucks.
