A Tesla Cybertruck driver was killed in what appears to be the first reported fatal crash involving the electric pickup truck, which has yet to undergo third-party crash testing.

    That’s not entirely accurate, a cyber truck has adaptive suspension that can lift the truck as much as what you’d get on a 6" lift. In the Pic you are showing it’s at it’s lowest position.

      This is beside a f150 lightning, and the CT is a little more raised on this one. Not sure about the lightning though with the angle

        That’s not a real picture, the Tesla is photoshopped in (and a bad render at that, not even a picture of a real cybertruck).

          Jesus fucking christ, how did i not see that until you pointed it out. I was just picking pictures out of search result gallery. I thought it was odd one wheel was on a platform but didn’t see how fake it was.

          This is one from a video of 2 real trucks with the CT being lower while also not in the lowest suspension position.

          Edit: Which also conveniently shows how high it would impact this person for each vehicle lol

      It’s still lower than many other trucks even when higher. This is the driving position and the most efficient for aero. They could drive in higher modes though yes.
