Small overlap front

The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component.If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.

Driver-side

Tested vehicle:2025 Tesla Cybertruck Crew cab 4wd Rating applies to 2025-26 models built after April 2025

The Tesla Cybertruck, an all-electric pickup, was introduced in the 2024 model year. Beginning with 2025 models built after April 2025, changes were made to the front underbody structure and footwell to improve occupant safety in driver-side small overlap front crashes. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.) Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2025 Cybertruck conducted by Tesla.

Low beams On the straightaway, visibility was good on the left side of the road and fair on the right side. On curves, visibility was good on both right curves and fair on both left curves.

The low beams created some glare.

High beams On the straightaway, visibility was good on the right side of the road and fair on the left side. On curves, visibility was good in all 4 tests.

High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle’s low beams on the straightaway, on both left curves and on the gradual right curve.
