Don't Get in a Crash in a Cybercab
21 days ago
- First responders can manually move a disabled Cybercab using onboard controls, but must contact a Tesla representative for verification and assistance.
- To access vehicle controls, first responders must be in uniform and present official ID to the vehicle's B-pillar camera for identity verification.
- After a safety critical event, doors auto-unlock, but low voltage power loss or severe collision damage may require extrication; manual door release can shatter windows if power is unavailable.
- The dashboard cross car beam contains brittle materials that can shatter under high load, posing additional hazards during rescue.
- Damaged doors may cause preloaded springs to pop out when opened; responders should use undamaged doors and wear PPE.
- The high voltage battery enclosure forms the cabin floor; responders must never compromise it with rescue tools or push down on it, as this can cause serious injury or death.
- Cybercabs must not be towed with wheels on the ground due to risk of damage, overheating, and potential fire.
