The driver disengaged FSD 4 seconds before impact — the rest was 100% manual driving. So the entire clip was manual driving! I did the math: the driver could have stopped in time from the first frame of the video. Here’s how I reached that conclusion. Debate if you have thoughts. 1. In the very first frame, the truck was 510–560 feet from the concrete barrier. I estimated this frame by frame using the vehicle’s speed on US-69/59 Eastex Freeway and local map data. 2. Speed was a steady ~60 mph. Over the ~6-second clip, distance to impact was estimated using the Cybertruck’s size and how quickly it approached frame by frame. It took ~4 seconds to reach the barrier from the first frame. 3. Cybertruck braking is strong — real-world tests (MotorTrend) show it stops from 60 mph in 126 feet (~176–187 ft from 70 mph per Car and Driver). At 60–65 mph, it needs only ~130–160 feet to stop fully. With ~510 feet available when the driver disengaged, it could have stopped easily, even for a poor driver. 4. Physics did the rest: at that distance and speed, the driver simply ran out of room and panicked. Again, not FSD. All human manual driving error. The Cybertruck could have braked in time based on distance and speed.

Here’s when the driver disengaged. There was time to stop and turn, especially with the Cybertruck’s steer by wire and four wheel steering. Tesla haters like Fred always try to blame Tesla, even when the human was driving manually. 0 journalistic integrity.

Elon Musk confirmed via Telemetry Data that the woman driving the Cybertruck in this video disengaged the system four seconds before the crash. She was manually driving throughout this entire video. Don't believe everything you see/hear from Legacy Media about Tesla.
