That's a lot of damage from a deer but many cars have been written off from a deer collision..So many variables with this type of collision, speed, size of deer, angle of impact.
@@ryanwalters6184 Not according to Grok: In the United States, crashes involving deer are quite common and result in numerous injuries each year. According to various sources: An estimated 59,000 human injuries occur annually from deer-vehicle collisions, with these incidents also leading to around 440 human fatalities. In Pennsylvania alone, in 2022, there were 5,848 accidents involving deer which resulted in at least 1,264 people injured. Missouri reported 420 injuries in deer-car crashes in 2022, with three fatalities. Posts on X have also highlighted individual incidents where people were injured due to deer collisions, indicating that while not all incidents lead to injuries, the potential for harm exists, particularly in areas with high deer populations or during times of increased deer activity like mating seasons. These statistics underline the significance of deer-related car accidents in terms of public safety, emphasizing the need for awareness and precautionary measures when driving, especially during times when deer are more active.

Hopefully that now it’s just parts and no repair/paint, the cost for repairs goes down a lot. Current hourly rates on repairing vehicles is insane right now.
I'm always amazed at how much damage hitting a dear can cause. If possible I would be curious to know the total parts costs on this. Does Tesla offer dealer discounts on parts? Recently I cracked the windshield on my 2022 model 3 for a 2nd time (132,000 km). The cost to replace at Tesla in 2022 the first time was just under $1,000 CAD, this time they want $2,200 CAD 👀
@@daryl9799 Nope. The Windshield is not $3-$4K, it's $2,500 (that include labor). Not a bad price for the largest windshield in the auto industry (and it's made out of more durable borosilicate glass).
Hi John, the reason the Cybertruck castings are black is that at some point in 2024, a new paint line dedicated to the Cybertruck was opened (at Giga Texas). Before that, the cybertruck shared the line with Model Y and they used a different paint for coating. All the new cybertruck bodies since then are painted black
Glad to see you back with a new informative video! Would you say this was affordable? Or was their discussion of insurance totalling? It seems that’s what they want to do in most cases. I know you did not there, but have you had to replace tires due to an accident. It seems the new TPMS sensors may be a new tech vs what’s the usual. I’m just curious if you have had experience with the ECU recognizing the new TOMS and providing readings.
@@ryanwalters6184 Yep. I was a passenger in a car that hit a deer going only 40 mph and the car was completely totaled. Here the windshield didn't even crack and the radiator was fine.
Question for you, what’s your initial experience with the Cybertruck’s castings? Are they more likely to get damaged or to be replaced? What are your thoughts on the topic? Thank you!
One other thing I notice is the absence of fluids ! The shop could not be this clean with ice cars also the body repair people are I bet pretty happy going home in same cloths ! Lol that they came too work with .
I guess parts are going to be pricey why because nobody is selling parts yet at parts stores so I guess right from manufacturer at this time and we know that price don't we .
The hood and front facia of the Cybertruck (and all other vehicles) is not structural except that on the Cybertruck it spreads the impact out. It's not unusual that hitting a deer at speed will total a car or truck. Listen to the expert, John said Cybertruck handled the impact impressively. It didn't need a new radiator or any draining and refilling of the cooling system. No painting and prepping adjacent panels to match the new paint either. No clearcoat either. The labor was only 10-20% of the total repair cost.
@@sprockkets Cybertruck has no clearcoat on the body panels. It's just pure, gleaming metal. You can sand it, polish it, and leave it in the rain. It doesn't rust. I've done this.
People are CRAZY owning this truck. In NJ, to insure a truck like this will cost approx 15K a year. This fairly small repair must have been so expensive. I understand spending 100K for a solid truck, but the Cyber truck? The ugliest, useless, kitchen garbage container looking truck I have EVER seen in 60 years of living.
All that damage just from a deer. Hate to see the final cost. Insane how poorly designed new cars are..... Built out of cheap junk that cant be repaired
I’m guessing a $15-$20k collision repair. I believe the inner frunk structure is a thinner stamped SS similar to the SS inner doors. Notice the lack of paint/coating applied to the inner structure. It’s bare stainless steel just like the frunk A-surface skin that is seen from the outside. It’s laser welded together as you mentioned, just like the doors. Otherwise it would suffer from galvanic corrosion due to attaching two different metals together.
Please provide a cost comparison for an F-150 and Rivian for similar accident
We'll be sure to compare costs to repair in a future video!
@@evolveevcare 👍
Orders of magnitude. 😂😂😂
Wow - that was really interesting. I look forward to future episodes.
Just sat down for tea & whoala, what an upload! Thank you so much ❤
voilà?
Thank you for watching! We hope this video was a nice addition to your tea.

Would love to see the assembly process as well. Maybe time lapse?
I like the straight dope. No bs.

Maybe super cheap cars. Most deer inpacts do not cause much damaged

In case anyone is wondering, these guys are in DE. Thanks for the video.
What is being blurred out?
The gigacasting has a large sticker that has the vehicle's VIN, so unfortunately, we have to blur it out. Sorry about that!
Fascinating.. Thank you

Instaling Aftermarket bumper Roo bar would be good idea 😊

I’m sure the deer can’t wait for FSD to be fully developed
It probably was.
@jackylsmith8138 Huh? Your comment doesn’t make sense
My CyberTruck on Supervised FSD stopped for a deer running across the road at about 35mph. 13.2.2
Missed your videos. Please post more content!!!

Ouch I wouldnt doubt that cybertruck windsheild being 3-4k.
If it makes you feel any better a replacement windshield for on my 2020 civic Si was $1300 at Safelite.

The Cybertruck automatically recognizes new TPMS sensors as soon as you drive the truck. It's seamless.
This was insane for just a deer impact.

Just FYI, the inner panel of the hood is also stainless steel. It is just another grade of SS.
Seems to need just as many parts as a regular truck, just shows on the outside less damage.
I have thermal video of exterior air intrusion into cab interior. Not good quality and has flaws

Google “crumple zone”
The front end isn't supposed to be, it has to crumple.
@@ZipZoomZip The outer panels have a clear coat protection on it. If it didn't, it would rust instantaneously.

This sounds much more expensive than a conventional repair
no painting required, along with no grille, radiator. AC condenser, etc with their fluid replacement
Stainless steel TRASH CAN!
"Tesla Cybertruck's Durable Design" - so is a brick.
I think it can’t be to stiff because of collision crumple zones. It needs to break because of safety for occupants and other vehicles on the road
I’m guessing a $15-$20k collision repair.
