The Tesla Cybertruck received an overall 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The vehicle excelled in side crash tests and achieved a 5-star rating for driver safety in frontal collisions, though passenger safety in frontal crashes was rated at 4 stars.
In the rollover resistance test, the Cybertruck scored 4 stars with a 12.4% risk of rollover in single-vehicle loss-of-control scenarios.
