Tesla Cybertruck Users Report Multiple Injuries from Sharp Edges; Advise Instant Blood Clean-up to Prevent Rusting
In the world of electric vehicles, the Tesla Cybertruck has made a bold statement with its unique and futuristic design. However, some owners are raising concerns about the truck's sharp stainless steel edges, which have reportedly led to a series of injuries.
One Cybertruck owner from South Carolina required emergency room treatment after injuring his fingers on the truck’s sharp door corners. Others have shared photos showing deep cuts and gouges sustained when accidentally brushing or slipping against these sharp panels[1][2]. The injuries range from cuts on fingertips and peeled fingernails to gouged wrists and even cut nipples[1].
The Cybertruck’s angular design and stainless steel body are believed to be the culprits. Unlike most vehicles, the Cybertruck does not have rounded or softened edges, leading to exposed sharp corners that can cause wounds even during low-speed or stationary contact[1][3]. Some community members have expressed safety concerns, suggesting the Cybertruck could potentially cause injury even in minor collisions or routine handling[1][3].
Adoni, a Cybertruck owner from South Carolina, visited the emergency room due to injuries caused by the sharp corners of his Cybertruck. He shared a picture of his hand with a deep cut and his middle finger fully turned blue[1]. Another owner, Steve Ramsey, shared an X-ray of his fingers and a photo of his hands with a deep cut[1]. Jaswinder Singh Jammu, another owner, showed a picture of his hands covered in blood[1].
The sharpness of the Cybertruck’s edges is a concern not just for the owners, but also for those who come into contact with the vehicle. A Cybertruck owner, Tina Ennocenti, reports that her Cybertruck's door injured her 8-year-old daughter's fingers, suggesting the vehicle may be prone to such accidents due to its large, sharp doors and lack of door handles[1].
Some Cybertruck owners have come to the truck’s defense, arguing that the blame lies with the individuals who were injured, not the Cybertruck. Michael Johnson, a Cybertruck owner, responded with "Natural selection." However, concerns about the potential for rusting due to blood stains on the stainless steel body have been raised by Derik Fairchild, another Cybertruck owner[1].
Dustin Downard, a Cybertruck owner, suggested that adding sensors to prevent owners from hurting themselves might not be feasible. AJ Starsiak, another Cybertruck owner, shows a deep cut on his wrist caused by the Cybertruck's quarter panel[1]. AJ received five stitches to close the deep cut on his wrist[1].
Adoni shared his story on the "Cybertruck Owners Only" group on Facebook. Andrew Hall, a Cybertruck owner, has cut his nipples twice on the sharp edge of the Cybertruck bed[1]. Maurice Fuller, a Cybertruck owner, warned others to clean blood off the truck's stainless steel immediately to prevent rusting[1].
As the Cybertruck continues to gain popularity, it is essential to address these safety concerns to ensure the well-being of its owners and those who come into contact with the vehicle.
