Summary: some jackhole was going 100 miles per hour and hit a honda carrying 5 people, then struck a pole which cut the car in half. Half of it stuck in a building, and the other half of the tesla caught on fire.

This has nothing to do with Tesla and EV fire concerns. Try doing this with an internal combustion engine car and see what happens.

Exactly. There was a rash a year or two ago of idiots wrecking their high end sports cars, splitting them in half (and usually killing themselves in the process). The focus of those articles was on the driver and not the car (the titles reflected it too).

Curious that he managed to "significantly damage at least four vehicles." That should be a testament to the Tesla's build quality.


Surprise, cars break when you crash at 100mph, no matter the build quality or the brand.
