A Security Camera Caught a Tesla Going Airborne

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A Tesla driver in Canada was caught on a security camera as his car caught some serious air after ramping over a railroad crossing.

The Model S “became airborne and crashed over 100 feet into the opposing lane,” then hit a treen in a parking lot, according to Barrie Today.

According to the report:

A further investigation determined the vehicle had been travelling at a high rate of speed northbound on Little Avenue prior to the crash. When the vehicle approached the incline leading up to the railway tracks just north of Huronia Road, the vehicle became airborne and crashed over 100 feet into the opposing lane. The impact of the crash forced the vehicle to skid across the roadway and hit a tree in a nearby school parking lot.

Elon Musk tweeted an exclamation mark in response to the footage.

The 46-year-old driver and a passenger were treated at the hospital for minor injuries. The driver was charged with dangerous driving.

Can anyone calculate the speed from the video? These are heavy cars with low high speed clearance (yet low speed clearance can be raised to 0.8" away from a jeep wrangler, right?) to catch air in this car with 2 adults is ludicrous.

Wired had an article on it.

I have to wait till tomorrow to read it because it's behind the "you've read all your articles for the month" paywall.

The funny thing is it's not even the money, but having to bother creating a login/etc.
