The police department statement said he was doing in excess of 100 MPH. On a couple reddit topics people were suggesting the safety features of the model 3 were what saved this guy, I disagreed. What saved this guy was the blind luck that the front left quarter of the car was the only portion that didn't bounce off trees and utility poles as he pinballed off the environment. Considering the right side of the vehicle is mostly missing and the rear left was obviously wrapped around the utility pole, only the front left is still recognizable as the remains of a model 3. Someone else said the battery pack became an unintentional crumple zone. Had there been a passenger in there, they would have died for sure.

Pretty much nothing is going to have a favorable survival rate at that speed of impact. I imagine Tesla might have the telemetry data. I'm curious of the actual speed, and I hope it gets revealed. That dude is lucky as hell to have survived relatively unharmed in addition to not killing someone else.

Yeah you can see these kinds of impact sometimes, there are photos of cars cleanly split in two from going sideways into a tree, but the driver walked away because the tree passed through just behind the seat. A foot forward, and he'd be toast. The M3 is a safe car by all accounts but it'll lose against a tree every time.

I'm curious of the actual speed, and I hope it gets revealed. That dude is lucky as hell to have survived relatively unharmed in addition to not killing someone else. I suppose it depends on if the main computers and cellular modem survived the crash and had a surviving power source long enough to upload the telemetry data. The 12v battery is pretty close to the center line of the car so there still should have been some power there, but I don't know where the computer is and if it can draw from the 12v in that kind of situation. A significant portion of the main pack was destroyed so that probably blew all the fuses, and the disconnect for the 12v system is on the right side in the rear seat. It wouldn't surprise me if the whole vehicle including the 12v system lost power after whatever took off the right side. Although I'd imagine even if they have the data this particular crash would filed in the "irrelevant" category because of the speeds involved. There isn't really anything any automaker could do about >100 MPH collisions with trees other than "Uhhh, don't do that!".

I thought Tesla had some live or near live feed of telemetry data. Maybe I'm mistaken. Its just morbid curiosity of how far in excess of 100mph does that much damage to what is considered a safe car.

Also amazing the car didn't burn to a crisp. I think there is still only one documented case of a 3's whole pack catching fire-- that russian crash. https://www.autoblog.com/2019/08/12/tesla-fire-moscow-explosions-autopilot/

It is live, but that is only the basic telemetry (GPS/controls/temperatures/power consumption). The stuff that they really like to see after a crash is the cameras which they do not stream live for obvious reasons (the cars are probably hard coded to dump the camera buffer to the mothership after any event that deploys an airbag and or whatever other methods they use to detect collisions). So yeah, they probably do have the basic telemetry up to about a second before impact at a minimum.

That's why you either want to not wear your seatbelt so you're thrown free of the crash, or be riding a motorcycle but don't wear a helmet because it adds too much weight to your head when you crash.

There isn't really anything any automaker could do about >100 MPH collisions with trees other than "Uhhh, don't do that!". They could limit max speed based on which road you're on. Or just whatever the top speed limit in the country is. Both of these, I imagine, are < 100 mph.

His parents (it was their car) could have already limited the top speed to as low as 55 MPH and or forced the car into chill/valet mode from the app. Given that he was well known for driving recklessly in the neighborhood, they probably should have.

Yeah, but like, at what point is it irresponsible for manufacturers to allow cars to go 100 mph unless the gps agrees you're not on a public road.

You could just lock it at max speed limit and say gently caress it you can't drive faster than this, no matter which road you are on. If you want to go super fast on your private road, build your own private car.

I think in Japan the R35 GT-Rs do this, they only unlock all the performance if the GPS recognizes you're at one of the racing circuits in the country. where the gently caress can you even get close to 100 mph in Corvallis, jesus. It's kind of lost amongst the "the batteries went flying!" headlines that a goddamned tire went through somebody's window too.

On a lighter note than the Tesla manned MIRV, today I did a road trip. Officially it was to get a flavor of Monster not sold in my state. Unofficially it was to get my first experience driving past my Bolt's range and using DCFC Instead of posting a giant wall of text, I'll just link the r/boltev post I made: https://www.reddit.com/r/BoltEV/comments/jy3fb5/made_my_first_long_road_trip_for_some_monster/

Looks like VW is delaying the ID.4 in the US. When I went to the order confirmation page, it now says early 2021 instead of late 2020. Unsurprising, since it sounds like VW is missing their targets in europe.

Let’s break it down: You’re near Columbus according to the Reddit post. You’re presumably in Franklin county. Franklin County is at level 4, the highest level on the COVID map. They’re also under a stay at home order: quote:In response to the Ohio Public Advisory System designating Franklin County Level 4 or “purple,” Franklin County Public Health and Columbus Public Health further stress the vital importance of the Stay at Home Advisory issued yesterday. It is critical that all residents stay at home to the greatest extent possible. Residents are advised to only leave home to go to work or school or for essential needs such as medical care, groceries, medicine and food pick up. So instead of following state mandates, or even common sense, you decide to travel a few hundred miles to another state for some sugar water you can buy online and have delivered to your house.

Literally the whole trip that was the most contact I had. There's more risk clocking in at my job. I've stayed home literally all summer. I haven't gotten a haircut at all. I do curbside for groceries. Going to work is the only place I step foot in. And you know what? I actually did order a case online. And I got shipped the wrong flavor. So I got a refund. And tried again. Same loving problem. Not to mention this was more of a test of actually using public chargers more than anything. If they were busy, I'd have went to a few nearby places I'd mapped out. But luckily they weren't. I've done loving nothing all year and tortured myself staying home all while everyone else in my city has fun with flagrant disregard for common sense. So don't lecture me for doing something that ended up being more safe than going inside a grocery store Edit: That probably deserves a probe but I wanted to get it off my chest.

Since it would cost me $500+ to have the 220v dryer socket fixed to actually deliver 220v (electrician wants over $1000, landlord would split) I've been using just level one charging and that's good enough since I only have one trip a week to Los Angeles (from North County San Diego). Also besides the top off at home, in LA I rarely pay for charging. There's the free charging sites (Volta) and level one at the office and sometimes at the apartment (they never authorized me for the Charge Point in that garage so F them). Last night we went out on errands and free charged at Volta to 250 miles of range (2 sessions, 1 and 2 hours each). Having a folding bike makes it easy just to park and charge at Volta. Rarely I do a 80% fast charge at EVGo. (Kia Niro EV).

How accurate was Tesla's delivery estimate for others in the thread? They updated mine a couple days ago to a window of now through the 28th. Don't have a VIN yet, and haven't seen anything about payment arrangements. If delivery is Friday do I have to show up at 5am and trample someone to get the car?
