In a tragic incident in São Paulo, a 32-year-old motorcyclist lost his life after colliding with a Tesla Cybertruck in the early hours of Wednesday. The collision occurred in the Max Feffer Tunnel, located on Avenida Cidade Jardim. Eyewitness footage captured the moment when the Tesla, reportedly facing a green traffic signal, crossed Avenida Nove de Julho and struck the motorcycle, which was traveling straight ahead. The force of the impact dragged the motorcycle a distance of 10 meters, raising immediate concerns regarding potential traffic violations by the motorcyclist.

The police are currently investigating whether the motorcyclist ran a red light at the intersection before the crash. Following the accident, emergency teams were dispatched to the scene, necessitating the temporary closure of the tunnel for rescue operations. Although the tunnel was blocked briefly, it was cleared by 6:05 AM according to the city's Traffic Engineering Company (CET). This incident has drawn attention not only due to the tragic loss of life but also because it involves a high-profile vehicle type, with Tesla Cybertrucks in Brazil valued between R$ 1.7 million and R$ 2 million, known for their distinctive, avant-garde design.

The occupants of the Tesla, described as a couple, were taken to the police station to provide their testimonies regarding the crash. As investigations continue, the community reflects on the implications of traffic safety and the operation of high-end electric vehicles within urban environments, questioning both driver behavior and infrastructure adequacy to prevent such incidents in the future.
