Another Tesla Crash

[vfx]

Does anyone believe the front car, a Tesla Roadster would look so unscathed if the rear car shown had that much damage after hitting it?

Besides, they know each other. Look at his the other pictures in the cue

Doh! Cracked the front lower lip - any recommendations for the body work?

I guess now you have to upgrade to the 2.5 spoiler. :wink:

What happened?? Jump a curb?

Is the only damage this part shown here? Perhaps you can just get it patched up and painted cosmetically. Would suck to have to replace the whole nose. Call up the Menlo Park store. They use some body shop in the Bay Area. They should be able to help or at least point you in the right direction. Be sure to report back to us. Good luck!

My driveway has a bit of a slope and the front end kissed the pavement ;( Yes if they can patch it up and paint over it that would be great!

The info on that "Tesla vs truck" picture says Oct 2008 so it seems very old. Still hurts to see that sort of damage...

VERY old.

For those who were hoping to buy a wrecked Roadster for parts or reverse engineering it's gotta be do or die now. The pseudo announcement that Tesla is stopping production will have to lock-in or raise the price of "parts cars" at some point soon. Salvagers may not know it now (unlikely) but soon they too will have "limited edition" dollarsigns in their eyes.

E.ON Autotage Hannover 2011

Apparently it happened during an MVM-Eco-Race

Ironically, another run-in with a Mercedes C-class...
Tesla SF crash?

C-classes are unsafe! They must be banned, taken out and shot. They must never be spoke of again.

Oh my god! This hurts in my heart only to think about it. A lightning green one also... makes me want to run in my garage and pet my car. XD

Does anyone have a total of how many Roadsters have been crashed? I often use crashed Roadsters as examples for people who worry about "dangerous batteries exploding" and other such nonsense.

Given that people were begging to borrow cars for that event, I wonder if the owner was there?

I wonder if this is the car that I saw in Germany that I posted about here:

Europe finds many cars travelling across EU borders.
