Minor injuries according to this linked article. CHP Confirms First Tesla Cybertruck Crash, Minor Injuries - The Autopian

So the Toyota was at fault.

“On December 28, 2023 at approximately 2:05 pm, CHP Redwood City units were dispatched to a two-vehicle crash on SR-35 (Skyline Boulevard), south of Page Mill Road. Our preliminary investigation indicates a Toyota Corolla was traveling south on SR-35 southbound, south of Page Mill Road, at an unknown speed, when the driver, for unknown reasons, turned to the right and subsequently struck a dirt embankment on the right shoulder. The Toyota then re-entered the roadway, crossed over the double yellow lines into the northbound lane, and crashed into a Tesla Cybertruck traveling north on SR-35 northbound.”

I reserved my CyberTruck the night of the event about 2+ hours in and my number is RN113026xxx. Not sure how within 2+ hours, I got 113xxxxxx when many others received. 112xxxxxx?

Very off topic, but

It could have been your form of payment. I heard people saying Apple Pay is the fastest way to confirm payment. I used a credit card and see it didn’t process until the next day. Even then I’m 11279xxxx

So... why did TSLA fall 3% today? Rest of the market did fine.

Tesla is volatile enough that it can fall 3% for no reason.

Yeah but no but they have started on the exit ramp from the highway to the land where the factory will be constructed.

I can only imagine the headlines today...

Low drama EoY from the Tesla side, no call for employee overtime, factory workers on showroom floors doing deliveries, customers helping with deliveries, Franz delivering cars, only small discounts on some models and low-key advertising on changing tax credits on others, etc. All those things were necessary in other years, at this level of maturity and execution, I think the lack of drama is a good sign for Tesla 2024.

Got a hankering to roll out the barrel…..

That is @Curt Renz 's job. He is on standby during 2024. ATH will be here before we know it.

Say it isn’t so.

Yep...but at some point TSLA WILL separate from that strong gravity well.

Some day.

The Electric Viking is reporting that 6,500 Teslas that arrived in Australia were not allowed to unload due to insects found on the cargo carrier. Port authorities instructed the carrier to return back to Shanghai where the cars would be offloaded, carrier cleaned, then cars reloaded for transport, so a month or so delay for delivery of these units, many of which were expected to be delivered for 2023. For perspective, that is one day worth of Tesla's total production for which deliveries will be made in Q1 2024 instead of Q4 2023.

Interesting, but I would think that the insects would likely have gotten in/on the vehicles as well. Are they going to be cleaned as well? (Unless it was a localized infestation in a non-car carrying portion of the carrier.)

And while that Corolla was pretty banged up, the driver's side of the CT doesn't look too bad in thie quick glimpse we get from this dash cam video:

There is a better picture of the side in this post.

You can see that it appears that the thicker door panels held up better than the rest of the panels. (As would be expected.)
