- A Cybertruck customer delivery experience was marred by a deep cut.
- The slice was serious enough that several hours afterward the customer had to go to the emergency room.
- This isn’t the first time that a Cybertruck or a vehicle in general has sliced up its owner.
Those who are awaiting delivery of their Tesla Cybertruck are an excitable bunch but for one such person, the excitement seemed to have lingered a tad too long. During the delivery itself, he accidentally cut himself on the body panels of his new aluminum pickup. Hours later, his excitement turned into a visit to the emergency room, seeking medical attention for a stubborn bleed.
The poster over on CybertruckOwnersClub started a thread days before the delivery event in expectation. When the big day came, he, his wife, and two Tesla employees did a walk-around of the truck. During that event, he went to check a “little pit/divet or something on the tailgate.”

Moments later he felt a sharp pain and ripped his hand away. “I jerked my arm back and the employees chuckled jokingly saying this thing can be dangerous,” he says. Sure enough, he was bleeding from the wrist. Those of you with a weak stomach might want to avoid the video below because this guy is leaking like he got checked nose-first into the glass during an NHL playoff game.
He reports that he wrapped it up only to find it still bleeding hours later. That’s when he went to the ER and had it properly cared for. The cut came from the vertical edge of the rear quarter panel he says.
This isn’t even the first time that a Cybertruck owner has walked away with a serious cut. In early May, another owner reported needing stitches after the door caught his leg. As InsideEVs points out, it’s not just Cybertrucks that folks get cut by their vehicles. A Chevrolet Bolt EUV owner says that they’ve been cut several times by their door. A Rivian R1T also gashed their leg on the gear tunnel of their pickup.
In reality, this situation, and the others mentioned here could’ve been much worse. Had any of these customers with serious cuts been on a blood thinning product they could’ve bled out. Here’s to hoping that they all continue enjoying their vehicle of choice with 100% fewer blood sacrifices in the future.
