Can’t process the craziness of this. I will probably have tons of autopilot jokes tomorrow morning!
Flying plane crashes into Model X. No fracking way??!!
- Thread starter MXWing
- Start date
News source. Normally i don’t like FUD-sider but will make exception here:
A Drug Enforcement Agency plane collided with a Tesla Model X as it crash-landed on a Texas street
So what’s up? Collision detection doesn’t work on planes? Maybe version 9 (Beta)?
Or you have to get the FSD upgrade for that functionality?
Edit: looks like the force of the impact corrected some of the panel gaps. The seams look tighter.
I don’t think I ever seen a picture of the Model X with the doors closed. Even beat it up it has to pose for pictures.

Anecdotes seem to show the Model 3 to be solid after collisions but a plane is probably not part of the testing battery.
Some new owners may have no idea how beefy Tesla’s are. They bruise easy but I’ll take a Tesla over any other passenger vehicle in the event of a big hit.

They are just waving to each other... Artificial Intelligence nowadays

A small plane like that weighs much less than a car. I'll be impressed if it can survive a hit from an F-35.
Why stop at an F-35? I'd be impressed if a missile just bounces off it.
Bioweapons mode? This is the new Nuclearweapons mode.
I like how the news report only mentions the Model X, even though the plane actually hit several other vehicles too. Obviously our cars are more special than whatever else was hit!
The car will slam on the brakes for bridges but not planes apparently. 
Wonder what the car was thinking the moments before impact..

Yea only the driver in the X was saved since it's such a safe vehicle. All the other cars were crushed to ashes.

Too bad V9 isn't here yet. The dashcam video would be (1) useful for accident investigators, (2) the best dashcam footage on the internet this month.
Goes to show how dangerous general aviation aircraft really are. High accident rates, piloted by weekend warriors versus professional career pilots with thousands of hours, usage of leaded gasoline, oh my. Get them out of the skies ASAP.
Well, those were drug enforcement pilots. So I guess, either they stepped out and consume some for work purpose, or the Tesla's driver have some drug related business and they just ram the Tesla to stop it from fleeing...

I’m surprised the Tesla shorts haven’t found some way to pin this on Elon smoking a joint a few weeks back.
They got a tip that both Elon Musk and Joe Rogan were in the car. Can you imagine how many cubic feet of bricks you can fit in the frunk and with the seats folded down??!?!
Not boring bricks either, the kind of bricks that excite Charlie Sheen and Rick James.
Any chance you think that dashcam V9 feature could be retroactive? Not sure if that's the right word, but could it be that you would be able to access the past (insert number) of weeks worth of dashcam footage from the day of update?
