這起嚴重車禍發生在德國，據說當時車速很快，左側道路正在進行施工

而卡車擋住了施工現場

而具體的事故發生原因還不得而知，猜測是來不及換到右線直接撞上

車主雖有受傷，但車禍發生後他能自己開門走下車

另外電池組被保護的很好，所以並沒有起火

文章最後有寫到

2013年Model S在做碰撞測試的時候，把用來測試車頂強度的機器搞壞了...



一般來說，車禍最怕的就是這種直接撞到大車底下的事故或是翻車

對駕駛者的保護就只剩下最脆弱的車頂跟A柱

這位駕駛真的是很命大

Earlier this week, the fact that the Tesla Model S broke the machine used
to test the roof structure of cars during a round of tests by US
regulators came up again on social media despite having happened over 3
years ago. Coincidentally, a Model S owner put the roof to the test today
in an unfortunate real world scenario when he crashed into a truck on the
Autobahn in Germany.

The Model S lodged itself under the truck and despite the severity of the
impact, the driver reportedly was able to get himself out of the car and
walk to safety – though his injuries were described as “serious,” but
not critical.

The vehicle crashed into a truck used to shield a construction site that
a company was about to set up. The speed of the Tesla at the time of the
impact was described as “tremendous” by a local news report, which is
not uncommon on the German Autobahn where speed is mostly unrestricted.

The details of the circumstances of the crash are scarce based on the
current reports, but the main theory is that the driver was unable to
merge into the right lane soon enough to avoid the truck.

The Bruchsal fire brigade arrived and secured the scene quickly. They
reached out to Tesla’s technical support to make sure to deal with the
electric vehicle properly, but the battery pack appeared to be mostly
intact and didn’t catch on fire, so they simply dug the car out from
under the truck in order to tow it.

It resulted in some spectacular pictures of parts of the truck sitting on
top of the Model S (pictures by EM via Badische Zeitung):

After the release of the Model S’ crash test results in 2013, Tesla
announced that the vehicle broke the testing machine:

“Of note, during validation of Model S roof crush protection at an
independent commercial facility, the testing machine failed at just above
4 g’s. While the exact number is uncertain due to Model S breaking the
testing machine, what this means is that at least four additional fully
loaded Model S vehicles could be placed on top of an owner’s car without
the roof caving in. This is achieved primarily through a center (B)
pillar reinforcement attached via aerospace grade bolts.”

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the Tesla
Model S a 5-star safety rating in each category.

While most of the news reports about Tesla crashes have revolved around
the Autopilot, they are rarely about the cars’ passive safety features,
which have been credited by owners involved in spectacular accidents for
saving their lives.
