Tesla Cybertruck Earns 5-Star Safety Rating from NHTSA
Tesla’s 2025 Cybertruck has received a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), highlighting its impressive performance in various crash tests. This includes low injury probability and strong protection against rollover risks, as recent NHTSA reports show.
The Cybertruck’s unique design, including its stainless steel exoskeleton and crumple zones, sets new safety benchmarks in the pickup truck category. The vehicle’s safety features and robust structure contributed to this top-tier rating, with a few key results:
Overall Rating: 5 Stars
Frontal Crash: Driver 5 Stars, Passenger 4 Stars
Side Crash: 5 Stars for both Side Barrier and Side Pole tests
Rollover Risk: 12.4% (4 Stars)
Although not perfect, Tesla's Cybertruck's 12.4% rollover risk is still one of the lowest among tested pickup trucks. It excelled during dynamic tests and showed resilience in crash scenarios.
Standard safety features include anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and more. The vehicle is designed to keep drivers and passengers safe, and as of February 2025, no recalls, complaints, or investigations have been recorded.
Tesla engineered a fantastic car, described as “built for any planet.” It’s a cool car with an amazing design and one of the safest in the universe.
