上周一位希望匿名的Tesla Model S车主载着乘客要前往Oakland hills
途经Grizzly Peak Blvd时，有只鹿让他反应过度以至翻落边坡
车子大概翻滚了50-60几公尺后四轮朝天的倒下
最后在距离边坡约150公尺的地方停了下来
驾驶跟乘客都还清醒著，并发现车室几乎是完整的
当他们从天窗爬出之后才知道车子的损坏情形
另外他们用"totally OK"来形容他们的状况，身上只有乌青跟肌肉酸痛
车主说因为他的Tesla，让他很幸运的还活着
车主也打算再买一台新的Tesla
看那个A柱跟B柱几乎是完好的，只有挡风玻璃破掉
不愧是当初测试车顶强度时把测试机器搞坏的Model S
前后行李箱就很惨，不过这当初就是设计来当成溃缩区，应该也算正常
车底可以看到有几处刮伤，但是没有破损的迹象
电池组应该没有受损

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.
