Cybertruck crash and fire reportedly causes first fatality

A Tesla Cybertruck veered off Texas road and crashed into a culvert, bursting into flames and killing the driver.

It appears to be the first fatality involving Tesla's new electric pickup and has triggered a probe by the NHTSA (National Highway Transportation Safety Administration), according to Reuters. Since its launch in November 2023, the Cybertruck has been criticized for poor build quality, malfunctions, and weird design decisions like"guillotine" body panels deemed unsafe for children and others.
