Model S為了閃鹿翻落邊坡約150公尺 - 汽車

上周一位希望匿名的Tesla Model S車主載著乘客要前往Oakland hills

途經Grizzly Peak Blvd時，有隻鹿讓他反應過度以至翻落邊坡

車子大概翻滾了50-60幾公尺後四輪朝天的倒下

最後在距離邊坡約150公尺的地方停了下來

駕駛跟乘客都還清醒著，並發現車室幾乎是完整的

當他們從天窗爬出之後才知道車子的損壞情形

另外他們用"totally OK"來形容他們的狀況，身上只有烏青跟肌肉痠痛

車主說因為他的Tesla，讓他很幸運的還活著

車主也打算再買一台新的Tesla




看那個A柱跟B柱幾乎是完好的，只有擋風玻璃破掉

不愧是當初測試車頂強度時把測試機器搞壞的Model S

前後行李箱就很慘，不過這當初就是設計來當成潰縮區，應該也算正常

車底可以看到有幾處刮傷，但是沒有破損的跡象

電池組應該沒有受損

Tesla driver says Model S ‘saved his life’ after walking away unscathed
from a crash ~500-ft down a hill

We have reported before on Tesla owners crediting their vehicles’ safety
features for saving their lives after severe accidents, like when a Model
X crashed into a semi-truck earlier this year, but probably none as
spectacular as a crash that happened in California last week.

A Tesla Model S driver and his passenger walked away unscathed after
their vehicle tumbled ~500 feet down a cliff and ended up upside down in
a trail.
The driver, who wishes to remain anonymous, explained that a deer made
him swerve off the edge while he was driving on Grizzly Peak Blvd on his
way to the Oakland hills:

“While Driving perhaps a tad too spirited, a deer appeared at a curve at
the worst possible moment. I instinctively (mistakenly) swerved to avoid
it and my car ended up over the edge. We tumbled perhaps 150-200 feet
down a steep slope, ended up upside down.”

They later found that it was closer to 500 feet down from the road after
they had to tow the Model S back up.

He shared a few pictures of the slope where the car jumped off the edge:

After what the driver described as “the most terrifying seconds of his
life”, he and the passenger realised that they were both “totally OK –
with only bruises and muscle soreness”.

They were surprised to found that the interior cabin of the vehicle was “
totally intact”. It’s only when they climbed out of the car through the
sunroof that they realized the severity of the damages on the body of the
car.

It showed that the large crumple zones in Tesla’s vehicles (due to the
lack of an engine) can be very useful in high-velocity impacts –
sometimes even lifesaving. The driver said: “It felt rock solid to me
and I feel lucky to be alive because of my tesla.”

The roof also played a crucial role since the vehicle rolled and ended up
upside down. The sunroof detached itself midway down the cliff, but it
didn’t affect the strength of the Model S’ roof, which broke NHTSA’s
roof-crushing test equipment when they performed their crash tests. It
could register a result past 4Gs – meaning that 4 Model S’s could pile
up on another without the cabin caving in.

They managed to hike up the trail and get back OK, but since it happened
right before Easter weekend, they had to leave the Model S there.

Only yesterday (Tuesday), they were able to get the vehicle out of the
trail after the tow company spent 4 hours and used 550 feet of rope to
bring it back on the road:

The owner is already looking to get a new Tesla. he also recomends to
drive “a bit more cautiously” at night on those mountain roads.
