Tesla Driver Escapes Unscathed After Semi-Truck Collides With Model 3 In Astonishing Accident | Carscoops

      A Tesla Model 3 owner miraculously survived after a semi-truck overturned onto his electric vehicle, crushing its roof.

      Recent images reveal a Tesla Model 3 that has been crushed by a semi-truck, with the most astonishing detail being that the driver escaped without fatal injuries. The driver was so impressed by the robustness of the Model 3 that he subsequently purchased another Tesla.

      We've likely all come across those unsettling Russian dashcam videos and smartphone recordings from India showing cars being struck or crushed by trucks, often ending in tragedy for those inside. However, the images of the flattened Model 3 featured here depict a different outcome, as the driver emerged alive.

      Two photos depict a white, pre-facelift Model 3 pinned beneath an overturned semi-trailer. The entire passenger area, extending to the trunk, seems to have been crushed down to window height or lower.

      The images captured after the truck was removed show the devastation of the vehicle, with the windshield tilted about 15 degrees from horizontal and the remnants of the shattered glass roof sitting approximately a foot (300 mm) lower than its original position.

      Fortunately for the driver, his part of the cabin withstood the impact better than the rest of the vehicle, likely due to less weight falling on it. Reportedly, he emerged with only minor cuts and bruises, and it's fortunate that he wasn't carrying any passengers, as they likely would not have survived.

      A business associate of the Tesla driver, @MensurMVisuals, shared on X that the Model 3 was traveling on the highway when a nearby truck lost control and flipped onto the EV. The poster noted that the driver was so impressed with the vehicle's strength that he purchased a brand-new Tesla three weeks later.

      Reactions on X and Reddit show a divide between those who believe the Model 3's exceptional durability played a crucial role in the driver's survival and those who feel it was merely luck. What are your thoughts? Feel free to share in the comments below.
