Photos of Crashed Tesla Electric Roadster in Junkyard (100 MPH crash)
- pchristensen 18y agoAre those the batteries still in the trunk in the 2nd pic from the bottom?
- shaunxcode 18y agoMy first thought was "man I wonder if there is a motor or battery packs I could salvage!?"
- raganwald 18y agoI confess that schadenfreude overcame my better judgment and I upvoted this post. Bad raganwald! No cookie for you!!
- petergroverman 18y agoThis is fantastic... what a find and what a sad sad day.
- rudyfink 18y agoI'm kind of in awe that there is such a specialized photo blog site.
- leeskye 18y agoThe site has been around for quite some time. For us auto nuts, it showed us that those who can afford a supercar are not superhuman. And sometimes a good laugh (dependent on the story of the crash of course).
- tlrobinson 18y agoRule 34 seems to apply to non-porn too.
- tlrobinson 18y ago"The accident was very serious, with the passenger being ejected upon impact." ... "So far, the Tesla has proven to be a fairly safe vehicle with none of the 3 crashes resulting in serious injuries." Huh? Is ejecting the occupants upon a crash the accepted safety mechanism these days? Seems like these guys were mostly lucky. Three crashes out of the couple hundred vehicles that exist doesn't seem like a very good record...
- jrockway 18y agoAre any (non-race) cars designed to be safe at 100MPH? But anyway, the car can't be blamed for any of the three accidents. They were all due to the driver not paying attention -- a problem in any car.
- cstejerean 18y agoSometimes being ejected from the car is a good thing, depends largely on where you land. But anyone really concerned about safety shouldn't be driving 100mph. IIRC suddenly stopping at that speed has a chance of ripping your heart from its arteries and instantly killing you.
